Art Blogs. Under-Water-Macro-Wide-Angle. So far, I have only experience with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT2(TS2)/FT3(TS3) cameras. Right at the beginning I will admit: I love these little gems. They perfectly fit my needs when I do not want to take my DSLR and heavy photo gear with me, for example I when travel with my family. They are lightweight, they are small enough to fit in my pocket, picture and movie quality is more than just ok (except in low light or counterlight conditions). And the best is: I can use them in all circumstances like rain, mud, sports, on the beach, in the water and even under water. Handling is easy and fast. I am especially fascinated by the underwater capabilities and I will show how one can take advantage under these conditions. However, in my opinion the best use for these cameras are macro shots. You just have to employ two tricks: First, hold the camera upside down, so that the lens is as close to the ground as possible.
