Panasonic Lumix TS1 / FT1 Review and Sample Photos at Digital Photography Interface – This is one of the best and most comprehensive reviews of the Lumix DMC-TS1 / DMC-FT1 anywhere, and Brad Soo notes the following about the image quality of the camera:
As for image quality, things were generally very good with low noise and distortion levels, decent levels of detail. Chromatic aberration (color fringing) and redeye were both non-issues since the Lumix TS1’s imaging processor removes them automatically. There was some slight graininess, softness and a bit of color bleeding (depending on scene conditions) introduced into photos at ISO 400, but image quality here is still usable up to midsize display/prints. That shows we’ve come a long way from the days of mushy noise reduction and soft images of old Panasonic processors – the crummy noise reduction is just about gone now and softness is not an issue.
