- February 24, 2009In our report yesterday on the new Canon PowerShot D10 waterproof camera we speculated that some of the other big names might also try to take a chunk out of Olympus' hold on this market and it seems that Panasonic agreed.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1 will be available in March and is waterproof to 3m. Suitable for surf and snow photography, the DMC-FT1 boasts 12 megapixel resolution and 4.6x optical zoom, starting from a wide-angle (28mm) lens Leica Variomat lens.
Available in silver, blue and green (and perhaps orange at a later date), we expect this camera to retail at around $650.

The filters are constructed from hardened glass that can withstand incredible knocks (steel balls are dropped from over 1m without the filter cracking). Special coatings further improve the filters' scratch and stain resistance, and repel water.
If you're investing in high quality SLR lenses then make sure you add a Hoya HD filter. For more information:
