The penultimate new camcorder announced today is the waterproof SDR-SW20. Like most of today's new models, the SW20 records to SD cards. Unlike others though, you can submerge this chap to a depth of 2m. And, with shock absorption as standard, it'll survive drops from up to 1.3m, or tussles with some fairly nasty sharks.
It's also got a 10x optical zoom, a 69mm (2.7-inch) LCD screen and it comes in red. Red, people! Who doesn't want a red camcorder? Well, if you don't, it also comes in silver. But that's nowhere near as funky.
What it doesn't have is optical image stabilisation or a face detection feature. But how many faces are you going to need to detect in the Great Barrier Reef?
Either colour will be available in February for around $400 (£200).
