So far this is the best Waterproof HD DV that I've seen with the highest 1080/60i recording and 12X zoom, but there're no video function such as time lapse or slow motion in this camcorder, even the software HD writer that come with also don't have this two function which made me feel little disappoint, battery life too shot just for 1 hour continue video, if have at least 2 hours will be much better, just other small things that will make this DV better if come with the lens cover.

Ready to go where you are - even underwater - the Panasonic HX-WA10K HD Waterproof Dual Camcorder is a high-definition powerhouse disguised in a sleek and stylish form. With best-of-class features such as 12x Advanced Zoom, 3D Digital Noise Reduction, intelligent scene modes and Face Detection - all in the service of a sensitive, 16-megapixel backlit CMOS sensor - the WA10 lets you capture and share full-HD memories with unprecedented ease.
Video and photos are equally well served by this waterproof (up to 9.8 ft) wonder. Whether shooting 1080p/720p video, standard-definition video, or 16MP stills, you're assured of capturing impressive high-quality images. Twin Movie/Photo buttons let you quickly switch between shooting video and stills, while the camera's Intelligent Auto (iA) functions accurately read the scene and do the heavy lifting for you. In Photo mode you can also choose your own scene setting or color mode, or switch the camera to Manual and take pictures the old-fashioned way.
The WA10's 3" widescreen LCD not only rotates 285deg., it provides 7 levels of brightness, helping you compose your shots from nearly any angle and still keep your image in view. The 5x optical zoom, meanwhile, expands to 12x in 30p video mode, so you can get closer to your subject with no image degradation. Face Detection, Nine-point Auto Focus and electronic image stabilization keep subjects in focus and images steady.
Other standout features include Macro Shooting for getting up close and personal, simultaneous Movie/Photo capture for grabbing 2MP stills while shooting video and the handy High-Speed Reverse Consecutive Shooting function, which captures a sequence of images from before you hit the shutter button. From the comfort of your living room to the natural wonders beneath the Great Barrier Reef, the HX-WA10K is your go-to camera for capturing life's most vibrant moments.
