Triple-Proof Ruggedness Panasonic''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 feet1 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 feet2 with improved fortification inside and out. A dustproof3 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 Styling Small 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 Start The SW20 SD camcorder starts up to record quickly. In Quick Start mode4 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 Viewing The 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 Videos First transfer the motion-image data from the SD card to your PC5 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.

Excellent Camera! Perfect for the beach.
I have read all the complaints about video quality but unless you are shooting at night or in very dim lighting you have nothing to worry about. Besides there should be no surprises related to quality if you read the spec's before you bought the camera.
That said I have been using this camera in fairly heavy surf here in Southern California and I'm extremely pleased with it's durability so far. The tiny rubber gaskets worried me at first look but after having the camera thrashed a bit in heavy white water and just general rough play I'm not worried anymore. The video quality underwater is amazing. Definitely the most fun feature of the camera. And the main reason I bought it! Any clips you watch on youtube or any other site do NO justice to how clear the quality is. Those websites use compression software that kills video quality. When you watch the videos on your T.V or computer they look perfect.
The reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because I find getting the videos to play on my computer is not as easy as they made it sound. I also noticed the "squished" effect that the above reviewer mentioned and I intend to download the SDCOPY software they recommend. I also have noticed that randomly the sound becomes muffled and a buzzing can be heard. Again the above reviewer mentioned that this could be due to water contacting the mic.
Other then those 2 problems (which are by no means major) I highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for a durable water proof camera to use swimming surfing or any other adventurous outdoor activity. For the money I think it's a great bargain.
