The new SDR-SW20 combines a rugged, compact body with waterproofing that allows use in seawater to a depth of 1.5 meters, shockproofing that protects against drops from up to 1.2 meters, and dustproofing. This model, offering its small size, light weight and superb mobility made possible by SD/SDHC Memory Cards, let users shoot video with the same casual ease and carry-about convenience they enjoy with small digital still cameras.

A waterproof design, taking advantage of the SD/SDHC Memory Card's water resistance, lets you use the SW20 underwater to a depth of 1.5 meters. The SW20 can even be used in seawater, so users can take moving images of friends snorkelling or tropical fish darting in and out of coral reefs. You can use the SW20 at a beach, ski resort, and in a host of other active, outdoor situations where you wouldn't dare use a conventional camcorder.

Unlike recording media such as hard disk drives or DVD discs, SD/SDHC Memory Cards require no drive mechanism. This gives the SDR-SW20 sufficient impact resistance to prevent malfunction when dropped from up to 1.2 meters. Combined with its dustproof and waterproof performance, this makes it the ideal camera for anytime use outdoors, in active situations, and for casual everyday video shooting.
