Camcorder Info has their hands on of the SDR-SW20 up, Panasonic’s first attempt at a dive camcorder for those who like recording video in the ocean…as long as that ocean is less than 5 feet deep. (Like its direct competitor, the Sanyo Xacti E1, it is only waterproof to 5 feet.) They found visual quality to be unexceptional, since this camera uses the same image capture setup as Panasonic’s low end DVD camcorder. But the easy to spot case and grippy finish earned it some points. If you’re considering one of these, I suppose the correct thing to do is wait to see what the second revision brings.

The first signs of HD DVD’s ultimate demise may be coming from the UK on March 10. After the news on Universal and Paramount abandoning the exclusive HD DVD deal, it seems that Amazon UK is listing three Paramount Blu-ray titles with that definitive release date: Trading Places, Coming to America and Anchorman, the latter of which was never available on Blu-ray before (as far as we can see). Amazon UK doesn’t list the HD DVD versions, and these are all new Zone 2 releases, not US imports. Could this be an error on Amazon’s part or just a sign of things to come? [Format War Central]
