It is water-resistant, but not water-proof, meaning that it can operate in light rain or snow or when the owner's hand is wet, but not underwater. The Panasonic SDR-S10 uses SD/SDHC memory cards, making it easy for the consumer to carry more memory around - however, this means the user has to buy those memory cards instead of relying on a built-in memory like other cameras. The Panasonic SDR-S10 has a 10x optical zoom and an unexciting focal length of 2.3 - 23 mm, meaning it can record from an average distance and will miss those far away moments.
