Wild Water Kingdom

Well, it was recently the long weekend for Canada and the US. For the US, it’s July 4th and for Canada it’s July 1st, both national holidays for roughly the same reason (The US fought a war, while we simply asked to form a country of our own – It’s a Canadian thing ).

This long weekend also had the added adventure of a visit of my nieces from Montreal to Toronto. So….we decided to visit Wild Water Kingdom and spend some serious fun time around the water. This also gave me a  chance to try out my latest camera, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3.

This is a hardened camera that is waterproof to 2m, shockproof, vibration proof – and can shoot HD video. It also has a built-in GPS, so I thought it might make a very good multi-purpose scouting camera and for shooting in rough conditions. Wild Water Kingdom seemed like a great time to test it out.

Trouble times two

This little adventure was a lot of fun and the Lumix proved itself to be a great carry around camera for casual shooting – AND you don’t have to worry about water, dust, or anything. It happily lives in your pocket regardless of where your pocket may be going.
