Panasonic TS3 Point & Shoot Camera


Our summer trip ended up killing my other Panasonic camera.  The one that took almost 99% of the pictures.  I brought the camera back to the store I bought it because it was new before left on June 29th.  Told them where I went and that it was my fault the camera died.  Panasonic gave me a new one anyway.  Great customer service. 

So, I will be selling the Panasonic DMC-FH25 since it’s new and got myself a Panasonic TS3 waterproof camera.  I think this is the type of camera that would work better on the bike doing one-handed moving shots and now I can take pics of the rain that we often ride in.

Salmon stream by my house

Today I was just playing around taking pics getting used to grip and trying out the HD 1080p video function.  Here are a few non motorcycle pictures of my dogs and a little stream near my house where Salmon spawn and Eagles come every fall early winter.

***If you click on the pics they get larger and you can really see that this camera takes some nice high resolution pictures.  Please so far.

I have to practice not covering the mic with my finger and get used to the lens being easily covered up my fingers as well…

PANASONIC’S NEWEST RUGGED LUMIX DIGITAL CAMERA, COMPLETE WITH GPS & COMPASS IS PERFECT FOR CAPTURING STUNNING PHOTOS AND HD VIDEOS DURING OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

My short test video set to HD 1080p.  In the above picture you can see where the mic is.  Easy to cover if not paying attention.  So far I like this camera.  Not much bigger than the one I took on the trip just a little heavier.  So, I will try it out this weekend on our 2 niter to Tumwater, WA to go see the Gerbing folks.

Would love to hear about your own set up and cameras that are being used out there.  We also bring a more powerful camera when on a trip.  Canon Powershot SX30 IS.

KLIM’s NEW BADLANDS AND LATITUDE IS SHIPPING


I have posted info about the new KLIM gear before but dealers are now shipping the new Badlands and Latitude ADV suits.  We are HUGE fans of KLIM gear not only because this is a company that listens to the riders who buy their stuff, but it is truly ADV gear, waterproof without liners and extremely comfortable while be made with top quality material.  They also sell long pants sizing as well.

KLIM’s NEWLETTER here

We are not paid employees of KLIM just LOVE sharing what works for us.  We hope the new Latitude will be in our future.  We have been wearing the Traverse for a year now and it has been almost perfect.  We knew the new gear was on the horizon and now that it is here in the flesh, the Latitude seems to really be what we are looking for.  The Latitude simply has hip gators for rider to use and open while sitting to give a little more room.  But for the women out there this is a HUGE addtition because it may allow for we grrls to fit into smaller jacket sizing with using the hip gators all the time.  Plus, the new gear has more pockets than the Traverse.  We need pockets while traveling and this is a nice addition that the Traverse really lacks.

Have a look and if you are lucky to find a dealer who has these in stock, maybe try them on for size. 😉

Some say KLIM is too expensive.  I think if we found this gear in the first place we would have saved money in the long run.  We have been through so many brands, types of set up and so far KLIM is the closest to what we need in gear without sacrificing comfort and safety.
