Alert – Incoming Panasonic Gadgets!

Just a quick update tonight to let you know of some more Panasonic gadgets coming my way.

I’ve had a look across the Panasonic range of products for some items that will be an improvement upon what I currently own or fill a technological gap that none of our gadgets currently fulfil. I’ve not gone overboard with my budget as I can always get other stuff later on (and, of course, I need time to properly put things through their paces).

So what is on the way?

First up is a Lumix DMC-FT3 which is part of the “Tough” range of digital cameras. This model is superior to the Lumix DMC-FT10 that was fished out of the Hawkesbury River a while ago after spending a week in the drink. Anyway, the FT3 is waterproof, shockproof, dustproof and freezeproof while boasting Full HD movie recording as well as altimeter, compass, barometer and GPS. I thought this would be the perfect camera to take with us on our next holiday without fear of using it near, in or under water. This camera also includes a 3D photo mode which I’ll be interested to test out and view the results on the 3D television at home.

Also, this camera will be natively compatible with my tripod mount for future video (at the moment I use my Samsung Galaxy S or my Logitech webcam to take videos at the moment).

The other items I have coming up are some noise cancelling headphones and earphones, specifically the RP-HC700 and the RP-HC55E-S. I got these for a few reasons:

• the gym at work insists on blaring music that often does not align to my musical taste and can still be heard when using my existing canal earphones,
• noise cancellation of unwanted sound allows you to decrease the volume of your audio so you don’t wreck your ears,
• they would come in handy on long haul plane trips to dampen the surrounding noise (engines, screaming children, annoying passengers, etc),
• the earphones that come with mobile devices these days are satisfactory but not fantastic quality.
