What's Hot

Waterproof/shock-proof/dust-proof design, underwater footage is surprisingly clear, cheap asking price

What's Not

No hand strap hampers on-land shooting, screen is too reflective, swapping SD cards can be difficult in wet conditions

The Final Word

For a first-time attempt at an underwater camcorder, the SDR-SW20 is a fairly solid performer. If you already own a camcorder, it will suit perfectly well as a secondary unit for oceanic holidays.
