I have a water soaked paperweight. I was looking for another WP cam .. and floated (ahem) back/forth between the Black and Red one. Decided on Black. WRONG… the exact same camera in Red is Waterproof ..the Black “Weatherproof”. Which means – what appears to be the same – is Not. An expensive lesson I hope you do not repeat. I already have the Sanyo Xacti and a Flip Ultra w/WP housing that work great, so I’ll just eat crow and move on… Jim/wetstuf.comPanasonic SDR-S10P1 Flash Memory Weathproof Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom

We purchased this product for review after finding the DXG 5.0MP Ultra-Slim totally unacceptable. The challenge was to find a flash video camera small enough and rugged enough to carry for action videos in skateboarding or snow boarding.
Merchandising and advertising promises we found misleading and false. The camera saves the video files in a non-standard file format, even though advertised as MPEG, and they would not transfer to the computer. Oddly enough, there was an ad included in the box for a program which would transfer to the computer if we paid another $99. The box and sales information promised Mac compatibility, but later we found it applied ONLY to the still photos — 2MP at best, also unacceptable.
Calling the Panasonic tech support took some effort and after some time they admitted it does not produce standard MPEG files and recommended we return it. (Which also turned out to be a nightmare!)
We cannot recommend this camera.

I got this camera in late january 2008. I give two thumbs up for the toughest electronic 10mbit a second widescreen recording masterpiece I have ever encountered…and it is to an SDHC card as fast as 10mbit seems.8gb class 6 highly recommended. As of now the “transcend” version claims 11mbit write, and true reviews make it a choice until more brands and prices continue to drop for sdhc. This camera uses every bit of it. I will not go for the 4GB as listed in the panasonic manual. the 8gb seems to add to necessary bandwidth, even if it is large for its battery life (ac adapter for car and home does that problem good as well as spare batteries like all cameras). Also, my next still camerawill be a panasonic lumix, as the batteries and chargers are the same. I did not want too many functions in a vid camera claiming tough, and panasonic made a winner with this one.
Called anything but High definition (the vid is too small) the quality can make some so called cheaper hd with bigger picture, a shame in comparison.Pleasant surprise after getting codecs and the norm for mpeg2 on my pc to get the most out of it. WOW.
Add to that 55 minute recording time on one battery charge, I got the entire lunar eclipse into the umbral shadow in one shot. I have had it in -12F in the wind, 3 ice storms, rain, snow, fog at 33 degrees (oh the 3000 dollar hd camera loves that NOT),on a the dash bouncing around in a 500hp caterpillar diesel rig (EIS almost keeps up). then put it back in your pocket, to have no concerns if it falls out…unless you lose it.
I hope to get another..it seems the prices as of this feb29 2008 review is higher than what I just paid a month ago. My other choice was a cheap HD and gave that up considering where I live (they are for the dainty, no doubt, with a big wallett to spare as well…) No regrets what-so-ever. 5 stars truthfully. I hope panasonic continues this train of thought with future cameras like it (the all waterproof for example). I have never had a camera survive in a single winter where I live. This seems justice deserved for folks in my situation…HD in the same package will be a sight to see, I hope.

I bought the camera. I like its dimensions, easy usage and taking videoclips on a SD memory card. I have just a very big problem. The included software doesnt work properly. My computer is able to show the camera and card either. Unfortunatelly the motionSD studio software always sais that “there is nothing recorder, however a clips have been taken…

So far, the main complaint that I have is that there is no lens cap. I cant imagine Panasonic did not come up with this. This is a small one, easy to carry around, which probably is the reason it is getting a lot of smudges on the lens all the time.
