Well here's the thing...

Even though I didn't actually play with any of Panasonic's new camcorders at the Panasonic Imaging Event, I was pretty impressed with them.

When they dumped one, with a live feed, into a five foot deep tank of salt water and it kept on sending back pictures, my jaw just about bounced off the deck.

Not satisfied with that, they took a bunch of them outside and this guy juggled with them...

Now I know what you're thinking... they're not real, right? Or the guy was so expert at juggling he'd never ever drop one... well you'd be wrong on both counts...

Not only are those camcorders real, high definition standard, palm fitting camcorders, the guy just turned and walked away while those three cameras bounced... yes BOUNCED... off the deck! And they still worked perfectly...
Amazing!

  Bouncy is sometimes a very good thing.

Wow with the underwater stuff! And bouncy, yes, very helpful. Wouldn't have to keep scrabbling under cars for the back cover if they made my phone like that, but it does still work I'll give it that, even after being soaked in gravy!

Amazing technology though, size an' all, how much are they selling for Usky?

And the juggling man, was he going to do some underwater filming, or does he just like latex?

  You were trying to pictures with your 'phone in gravy... come on... admit it!
  
  I think the wet-suit was just to remind us the camera is waterproof. No idea what kind of price those are selling for, I'm not much of a camcorder type.
