The SDR-SW21 camcorder combines a rugged, compact body with waterproofing that allows use in seawater to a depth of 2 meters, shock-proofing that protects against falls from up to 1.2 meters, and dust-proofing. This camcorder, 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 camcorders.

A Sea water waterproof design, taking advantage of the water resistance of an SD/SDHC memory card, lets you use the SDR-SW21 camcorder underwater to a depth of 2 meters. The SDR-SW21 camcorder can even be used in seawater, so users can take moving images of friends snorkeling or tropical fish darting in and out of coral reefs. You can use the SDR-SW21 camcorder at the beach, a ski resort, or 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-SW21 camcorder sufficient impact resistance to prevent malfunction when dropped from up to 1.2 meters. Combined with its dust-proof and waterproof features, this makes it the ideal camcorder for anytime use outdoors, in active situations, and for casual everyday video shooting.

The SDR-SW21 camcorder features the YouTube Uploader function that makes video uploading super easy! Simply set the camcorder to "Web Mode" and it will record the movie in a YouTube compatible format. After shooting connect the camcorder via USB to a PC and the YouTube Uploader automatically starts.
