Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Panasonic SDR-SW21 Shock & Waterproof Camcorder (Orange)
Customer Review: Returned day after, after viewing video and pictures.
Summary: 3 Stars
I was excited to have bought this item as I have a Lumix series camera which I have had for almost 3 years now and cannot be any happier with it. I bought this because of it handy size and the fact it was waterproof and dustproof and looked tough. Before I used this item, I read all the reviews and then I wanted to see for myself what this was all about. Here goes:
Video function: At the highest setting, video was horrible, it was dark and almost pixel like. It was taken indoors with lots of light coming in from outside as it was a sunny day. The picture looked like a typical rainy day; cloudy, dark and no colors popping out whatsoever. I will not even mention the performance during low light, as it is almost non-existent. It looks like your typical video from a webcam.
Camera function: Out of focus, grainy, and dark. As someone else mentioned, it was like using a cell phone camera....so true.
At this point I packed everything up and couldn't wait the next day to return.
As far as its water integrity. I did not bother to check, as its performance under normal conditions were horrible. Even if it did live up to it waterproof capabilities, you would still have to live with the rest of its shortcomings, which is everything else. Like another review mentioned, Panasonic fell asleep on this product.
I only can give it three stars and not lower, since I did not get to check its "water" performance and battery life. I know people consider these two areas when deciding to buy this product. I myself stopped at the substandard video and pictures.
