Key Specs
Effective Pixels: 10 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
Standardized Video Resolution: Full HD (1080p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
General
Product Name: HD Waterproof Action Camcorder
Brand: Panasonic
Model Number: HX-A1MK
Color: Black
Imaging
Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
Image Resolution (Display): 1920 x 1080 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
Digital Zoom: None (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
Focus
Auto/Manual Focus: Automatic
Exposure Control
Effective Pixels: 10 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
Display
Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (The measurement of the width of a screen compared to the height of a screen, expressed as a ratio.)
Video
Standardized Video Resolution: Full HD (1080p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
Compatibility
Memory Card Compatibility: microSDHC, microSD (The type of memory card(s) recommended for use with the product.)
Features
Night Recording: true (The ability to capture and record video in low-light conditions, typically via infrared light or intensifier tubes that amplify existing light to illuminate the scene.)
Connectivity
Wireless Connectivity: None (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
Power
Rechargeable Battery: true
Battery Size: Other (The battery size required for operation.)

For bathtubs only!
Looking for an waterproof video camera to take on vacation and this is the first one Best Buy comes up with. I check the specifics and see "Maximum Depth Of Water Resistance - 5 feet". So, for fellow swimmers, please understand that waterproof does not equal underwater in the camera world. This was borne out when I subsequently searched underwater cameras and this model was not there.
