Panasonic Lumix FT3 Unboxing

For those of you who have been following the blog you might have read that I joined the Panasonic Insider Crew late last year and, more recently, became an Insider Guru. From time to time, I’ll get my hands on some Panasonic gadgets and I’ll also share my thoughts and experiences with you so you can make more informed decisions when you are making your next electronics purchase.

Anyway, this week I received a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT3 digital camera. I’ll go into more detail in the preview video but in a nutshell this camera packs in a stack of features:

  • dustproof, freezeproof, shockproof and waterproof,
  • built-in GPS with altimeter, compass and barometer,
  • 4.6x optical zoom and 6x intelligent zoom,
  • Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens,
  • 3D photography,
  • Full HD video recording.
The camera also packs in a 12.5 megapixel sensor (effective 12.1 megapixels) with optical image stabilisation while coming in at 197 grams when loaded with its battery and an SD card.

As far as what’s in the box, check out the unboxing video  below and, if you have any questions make sure you leave a comment below!

FYI – the video will be available in up to 720p (YouTube can take a little while to process the higher resolutions) if you right click on the video and choose “Watch on YouTube” and change the resolution setting.

Stay tuned!

In 2012, I obtained my Masters of Science in Information Technology through the University of New South Wales @ The Australia Defence Force Academy (UNSW@ADFA).

I was also part of an online community known as the Panasonic Insider Crew in the capacity of “Insider Guru” for Panasonic Australia where I interacted with other tech enthusiasts and find out more about Panasonic's latest gadgets.

I love technology, gadgets, and the Internet and maintain a keen interest in these areas locally, nationally, and globally. I hope by sharing my views on these topics that people will receive an honest point of view from someone with a genuine interest in these topics.
