Panasonic SDR-SW20 Flash Media Camcorder

The new SDR SW20 combines a rugged, compact body with waterproofing that allows use in water to a depth of five feet. Other features include shock proofing that protects against drops from up to 4 feet, and a dust proofing design that shuts out airborne dust particles that can lead to malfunction. The SDR SW20 also features 10x optical zoom, a 2.7 inch LCD screen and a new design for easy and comfortable shooting with a sub-record button on the front of the camera, making it possible to shoot with a pistol grip style. The SW20 records to SD or SDHC memory cards, allowing up to approximately 13 hours of recording.

Cons bad handling, average picture quality

Overview: I have the Canon Elura2, which is compact in its own time, but now seems too bulky and heavy. I came across the Panasonic SW20 and SDR-S7. I finally bought the SW20 for its compactness. However size does have its price….

Panasonic SDR-SW20 Water, Shock & Dustproof Compact SD Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom, & Records to SD Memory Card - Silver

Triple-Proof RuggednessPanason ic's SDR-SW20 compact SD camcorder is built tough so you can shoot in places never before possible. Take it underwater as deep as 5 feet for great video in the pool or ocean. Waterproofing also means you can shoot in the rain or snow with no worries. The SW20 is also shockproof, resisting damage even if dropped from a height of up to 4 feet with improved fortification inside and out. A dustproof design keeps the camcorder safe even if handled with dirty hands or used in a place with swirling dust. Take it to the beach or sports field without worrying about sand. And since it's waterproof, simply wash it with water when it gets dirty.Compact Size and Cool StylingSmall enough to slip in a pocket or bag. Cool enough to take everywhere you go. This is one stylish camcorder you'll never want to be without. No More Missed Shooting Opportunities with Quick StartThe SW20 SD camcorder starts up to record quickly. In Quick Start mode, recording begins in just 0.6 seconds from the time the LCD is opened. This lets you catch those sudden shooting opportunities. Easy DVD Copying and ViewingThe USB port allows you to connect directly to a DVD burner. And copying a recording from an SD card to a DVD disc is as easy as selecting from the menu. To view your video, simply take the SD card from the camcorder and slip it into any TV or DVD player with an SD card slot; there are no cables to worry about. Edit Your VideosFirst, transfer the motion-image data from the SD card to your PC using your PC's USB port. Then with the included MotionSD STUDIO 1.3E software, you can easily put scenes in a different order, delete the ones you don't want, and add a wide variety of video effects. Save your results by burning your video production onto DVD.
