Panasonic's SDR-SW21 Waterproof SD Card Camcorder keeps up with your active life. Take this SD/SDHC memory card camcorder diving, swimming, climbing... wherever! The SDR-SW21 is waterproof up to 6.5 feet in both fresh and salt water and can withstand up to a 4 foot drop. Not only that, but the camcorder is also dustproof, offering further protection.

When you get home, uploading video and stills of all your adventures to social media sites, such as YouTube, is easy. The SW21 comes with VideoCam Suite software, which makes sharing nearly effortless.

Other features of the SDR-SW21 include a 2.7" wide LCD screen, 10x optical zoom, and image stabilization. Taking even more of the hassle out of recording would be the Intelligent Auto function, the Mode dial, and One-Touch Navigation.

If you're looking for an affordable and user-friendly way to capture every moment of the action, the SDR-SW21 has what you need.

Record to compact and lightweight SD/SDHC memory cards for hassle-free transfer of video and stills to your PC for emailing and easy uploading to social media sites.
1/6" CCD Image Sensor
The 1/6" CCD image sensor captures standard definition, video (MPEG2) and still (JPEG) images.
10x Optical Zoom
The Optical 10x optical zoom brings even far off subjects up close with clarity and little to no loss in image quality.
2.7" Wide LCD Display
The 2.7" wide LCD gives you a generous platform on which to compose and playback video and stills.
Digital Still Capture
The SDR-SW21 doubles as a digital still camera. Still images in the JPEG format easily upload to the Internet for sharing.
Electronic Image Stabilization
The electronic image stabilizer cuts down on blur caused by hand-shake or a moving subject for cleaner, clearer video and stills.
VideoCam Suite
VideoCam Suite software makes uploading to YouTube as easy as 1-2-3. Simply record in Web mode and connect the camcorder to your computer when you're finished. VideoCam Suite automatically starts up and is ready to upload your video - just choose the file you want and click "Upload".

    Comments about Panasonic SDR-SW21 Waterproof SD Card Camcorder (Silver):

    Grat Camcoder , very handy and compact, just perfect for my motorcycle travel. The only problem so far is that the only way to charge a battery is with the camcoder, it does not have a independent battery charger. I wish Panasonic will consider to solve this problem.
