It's getting harder for manufacturers of compact cameras to distinguish themselves 2 0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:10.000 All the devices look alike more and more
So it is a smart move to make the devices very specific
So Panasonic introduces another ruggedized camera, after the FT4 comes the FT5
And this one can once again take a beating
Besides the fact that you an drop it, it is also waterproof, and it should survive squeeing in a full bag or suitcase
That's nice. But the most important thing about the camera is implementation of wifi and NFC
NFC is pretty new on compact cameras
Near Field Communication is used in recent smartphones
When you touch your smartphone with this compactcamera, it automatically allows to send pictures
So you can scroll through your pictures on your smartphone and instantly share them
We'll have to wait and see if it works as Panasonic advertises
But despite the wifi and NFC, this camera is all about the ruggedness
It is waterproof up to 13 meters, so you can take pictures on a diving trip
Especially since Panasonic has some software on the device to correct the ammount of blue in underwater pictures
First impression is pretty good
The full review of the Panasonic FT5 will be published shortly on BesteProduct.nl
For now you have to settle for this short preview
I'll be stomping on this camera in the meantime
