"Yep my Lumix TS3 fogged up the lense first time I used it in a pool. I opened doors and let it dry, it has always done this since brand new . Until the other day snorkeling it died.

I opened it up to find it has been leaking in the top corner since day one. Rust and corrosion. Cant be repaired. Bought a Opympus TG-630 for half the price and it seems good so far.

Panasonic might make good TV's but crap camera's

The seal in Lumix is so thin it's a joke, should have some glue and it would have been fine. Battery door is not the problem.

Crap products and I'll never get any panasonic product again.

Very unhappy customer"

"I solve my problem.

i unscrew the rubber of the back door and add square layer of thin plastic (to make thicker when it closed on the back (means opposite of the contact with the door camera.

then....

I use.... my silicone lubricants lube sex things instead to pay a fortune a silicone grease on the rubber sealing thing. works perfectly.

That s it.

My Lumix DMC-TZ70 got a bit wet while hiking in Oregon. The display went blank and basically the camera stopped functioning. A couple of days in a bag of rice pretty well fixed it except for the flash. The repair shop said the repairs would cost about $300.00 Cdn. because it is out of warranty. They also said that Panasonic has a customer loyalty plan which may cover some of the cost. We'll see. TT

I think everyone who was stupid enough to buy that nice $@$*, hate Panasonic forever.
