Panasonic has introduced a new camera to its Lumix range, the DMC-FT2 which is designed for active outdoor use. Perfect for those who like to wrestle bears and wash with sandpaper, the DMC-FT2 is waterproof up to 10 meters, shockproof and is freeze-proof up to -10 degrees C.

The DMC-FT2’s case is reinforced with toughened glass, rubber padding and carbon fibre resins to provide an airtight body capable of working under extreme conditions. It features a 14.1 megapixel sensor for quality photos and is capable of recording video in High Definition.

Advanced image stabilisation and Intelligent Resolution technology combine to produce stunning pictures and videos, while the built-in 2.7 inch intelligent LCD gives you a great preview of your media. Pictures and videos are saved on to SD cards for easy transfer to a PC or television for a better view.

The Panasonic DMC-FT2 is great for any outdoor enthusiasts and will be available in yellow, orange and blue. Priced around £320 and shipping in March it’s not cheap, but its strong and sturdy exterior may temp the more adventurous types who need a rugged and tough camera.
