Panasonic's design for the DMC-TS1 On/Off, Shutter, and Zoom controls is worse in every way than the On/Off, Shutter, and Zoom controls on the DMC-FX37.

On/Off
The TS1 is a push and hold switch while the FX37 was a simple slider.

Shutter
The TS1 shutter is a smaller rectangle button and shares space with the Zoom control. Too crowded. The FX37 is your standard circular shutter control.

Zoom
The TS1 Zoom is an awkward slider, the FX37 has a much easier to control switch.

One more thing, to start and stop movie recording on the TS1 you don't use the shutter. There's a small red push button on the back. Very awkward.
