The Panasonic HX-WA10 has an easy to hold, yet stylish, vertical design. It comes with a wide TFT LCD display of 2.7 inches and offers optical zoom function where as pocket Internet camcorders only offer digital zoom also.
Features and specifications
1. This model supports a blur free shooting system with EIS (Electrical Image Stabilizer) which is one of Panasonicâs most revolutionizing patents.
2. Users can rely on its iA (Intelligent Auto) system for almost ever setting automatically. So, it is great for amateur video artists.
3. It also has a face detection capability.
4. The in-built stereo microphones can record sound very precisely, you wouldnât need additional microphones for the purpose.
5. It supports easy PC networking through MP4 recording.
6. It offers a Mini HDMI port so that you can enjoy Full HD resolution of 1080p.
7. The SDXC memory cards are compatible to Panasonic HX-WA10 which allows opportunity for more recording time.
8. You can recharge it through USB port too.
9. The D-pad on side panel offers multiple manual settings like controlling zooming and playback options.

The advances
1. You can also shoot underwater with the Panasonic HX-WA10 to a depth of 3 meters. You can use the camera underwater for 60 minutes under standards complied with IPX8 standards.
2. BSI (BackSide Illumination) technology allows you to have enhanced sensitivity when using the inbuilt CMOS sensor. This helps shoot images in highest resolution possible. So, dim lighting isnât a problem while shooting. High definition videos can now be captured in almost every setting like indoor, cloudy, bright noon light etc.
3. It records in MP4 format, making it easy to transfer and edit data on your PC. Uploading videos on Facebook or YouTube can be done after editing via software provided.
3. A 16 MP camera that supports full HD shooting. There are separate modes for video and image capture on its pad. The feature we like the most is that images can be taken at any time by using a dedicated button without switching between the video or image modes.
The word out
In a nutshell, this upright camcorder might not appeal to those who look for compactness in their pocket Internet camcorders. The Panasonic HX-WA10 is marginally more expensive than slimmer versions available in the stores. This model is a waterproof one but it is still not any cheaper than slimmer models which also assure safety against water. It may be bothering to adjust to the D-pad which is too cluttered to operate in many opinions.
