Panasonic's new 16-megapixel HX-WA20 HD camcorder is waterproof and dustproof and lets you capture high-quality images in virtually any situation and any place. It enables you to catch instant action, panoramic views and pictures in the dark. Fast-moving scenes can be taken in slow-motion video. Choose 240 fps (640 x 360) for 15 seconds, or 480 fps (320 x 180) for 15 seconds. The 28mm wide-angle on the HX-WA20 fits more people and more of the background into the frame than conventional models.
For uploading, simply select the videos and photos inside the camcorder in advance to connect the HX-WA20 to a PC via USB. It is also easy to upload your images on to YouTube or Facebook. The included HD Writer VE 2.0 software lets you post videos and photos with easy operation. With the optional card device, it is possible to forward pictures and movies in the camera into computer and smart phones as well.

An updated version of the Sharp camera I've had for years. I recommend it, particularly for its shape: the pistol grip makes holding it comfortable even for long periods, and the Flash memory means its battery life is very long. It is also small enough to fit in your shirt pocket.

15 seconds of video? only?

That might be just with the built in memory.

The 15second limit is just for the hi-speed modes (where the camera is capturing 10 times the amount of information.
