Still, there are a few reasons to pick up a camcorder, such as a long zoom lens and better battery life. It's also dustproof and freezeproof down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit degrees Celsius.
These are things that usually require a dive housing for a camcorder, but with the R10 you can dive right in. Actually, you'll want to wade right in because diving could actually force water into the camcorder, but you get the idea.
Looking at the R10, though, you'd probably hesitate to treat it rough, since it looks like a typical consumer camcorder. Available in blue, red, and black versions, the soda-can-style body has a flip-out, rotating 3-inch touchscreen, a record button on back, and a zoom rocker on top to control its 40x f1.
The whole thing well, minus the hand strap measures 2. A flat gasket on the inside of the door keeps water and dust out, assuming you keep it free of dust, hair, lint, or anything else that might compromise the seal. It's easily replaceable, too, so you won't have to send it off to a repair shop to get a new one. Though it locks firmly, the door doesn't seem all that secure, so you'll probably want to triple check the thing before you head into water with it.
This is the only opening on the camera, so the battery is inaccessible. Battery life is good at about 2 hours and 30 minutes under normal use. But, once it's tapped out, you'll have to charge it up again via the Mini-USB port, which takes approximately 4 hours and 40 minutes for a full battery.
The low-resolution touchscreen rotates 90 degrees down and degrees up, so shooting above or below or in front of the camera is no problem. It isn't as sensitive as what you'd get on a smartphone or tablet. It can be quickly calibrated to your touch for better results, but in general you'll need firm, deliberate presses to use it. Everything can be controlled with touch, including the zoom lens and starting and stopping recordings and snapping photos.
Also, there is no power button. Instead, the R10 turns on when you flip out the screen and shuts down when you close it or you can have it turn off after 5 minutes of inactivity.
If you're looking for a camcorder with a lot of shooting options and control, though, you'll likely want to skip the R It has two modes: full auto and manual. Manual mode lets you manually focus, adjust white balance and brightness, and turn on backlight compensation.
You can also tap-to-focus and have the camera track a face or a color. Other options include applying a grainy black and white filter, Food and Baby modes, and recording time-lapse videos. There is image stabilization for the 40x zoom lens, but it's electronic, which isn't terribly effective when zoomed in, since the slightest movement is amplified.
