Waterproof Panasonic SDR-SW20 |
|
I've used the camcorder for a couple of weeks now, and I like it. Some reviews I'd read spoke of poor video quality, and it's not great, but it's good. I haven't had it in the water yet, but it did fall out of my truck to the pavement once, and it survived that. The fact that they recommend sending the unit in every 18 months to repack the waterproofing bothers me since I found that out AFTER purchase. So far, I'm happy with the camcorder. |

Panasonic SDR camcorder |
This is one of the better camcorder purchases I have made. It's small enough and light enough to fit in a shirt pocket. Video is great and the still camera function works well. The only drawback I see is the the battery runs out fast even in the off mode.
All in all! It's a great cam/camcorder. |

good so far, but make sure you know all the details... |

The Panasonic SDR-SW20 Waterproof camcorder fits in you palm and is real easy to use and very versatile...especially with its ability to not have water affect it...after losing several sony camcorders to rain. However, make sure you know that the computer you are using is 8 years or older, it may not have an appropriate video card to view the video. I was able to put a new video card in my computer, for $50. Just one point to be aware of, check to see if your computer has a good enough video card to view the video. If so, like mine does now, it works great. Also, the transcend flash card with the 16G SD card has enough size to last awhile...enjoy! |

Good foolproof camcorder - poor battery |
|
I have used the SDR-SW20 for over 2 months now and overall I am happy with the product. Easy to navigate menu, nice picture quality (not HD!), lightweight. My only but important point of critique is the poor battery performance. In SD mode the battery only allows for 30min of recording time. NOT enough for weekend trips. I guess I have to buy a spare battery to avoid carrying the charger and cable. |

Nice concept with mediocre execution.
Picture quality is worse than mini tape.
Its is very small and portable. Kind of awkward in your hand.
