Panasonic Waterproof Video Cameras – SDR-SW20R

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 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.

Best pricing and service for Panasonic waterproof and shock proof cameras and video cameras is at RobertsImaging.

Internal Review of Panasonic Lumix GH1

Panasonic announced what I believe to be a pretty big announcement at PMA 2009 in Las Vegas.  They premiered the DMC-GH1 Micro Four Thirds SLR that records full HD video.

It sports a 12.1 MP Live MOS sensor that can record up to 1080/24p or 720/60p high definition videos and has continuous AF and a built-in stereo microphone.  You can add your own microphone to the camera through the optional mic input jack.  The camera can be coupled to the new Panasonic Lumix G Vario HD 14-140mm lens that is designed for the video feature.  It’s image stabilized too.

The HDC-HS9 hi-def hybrid camcorder boasts an extra-large 60GB* internal hard disk drive, which can hold up to 23 hours of your precious memories (in HE mode). And since this camcorder records to both the internal hard drive and SD card, you can add up to an additional six hours of recording (also in HE mode) onto a 16GB* SDHC memory card (sold seperately).

This means you get breathtaking images with exceptional resolution and detail.

Additional Reviews of the Panasonic Lumex (Lumix) G1

So, perhaps the biggest news in the camera world last year was the invention of the Micro Four-Thirds standard, the first SLR quality system without a mirror (removing the “R” from “SLR”, actually, and leaving most of us with no idea what to call this new camera type.). m4/3 (as it’s commonly abbreviated) promised small bodies, smaller lenses, and all-around niftiness.

And so we waited.
