Overview
Pools, beaches and shallow snorkel spots are where this Minolta camcorder earns its place, since the body goes underwater without a separate case. A CMOS sensor behind a fixed lens records Ultra HD clips to a micro SD card, while a built-in screen handles framing and playback.
Going underwater without buying a housing is what sets this camcorder apart for family trips. Its zoom is purely digital and the focal length never changes, so framing far subjects means cropping into the image instead of letting optics do the work.
Who it's for
Travel footage, swimming pool clips and casual vlogging with webcam use at home suit this camera. Scuba divers and anyone filming distant wildlife should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Goes underwater with no housing needed
- Shoots Ultra HD video in MP4
- Memory card and pouch in the box
- Time lapse, loop and burst modes
- Digital zoom only, no optical zoom
- Shallow depth rating, snorkel use only
- Frame rate for Ultra HD not listed
- Single built-in speaker for playback
Performance notes
Detail at full zoom comes from cropping the sensor image, so quality drops the further you zoom in. Anti-shake reduces blur from hand movement, though bracing the camera still gives steadier footage. The listed effective video resolution is far below the still photo figure, so judge sharpness by the video number.
