Looking for some guidance for a video camera to bring along on fishing trips. Some water proofing would probably be a necessity. Also, only really interested in a model that records on the standard size SD cards. We have a Sony Handycam but it records on mini discs and the drive on my laptop won't accept those.

So far I've come across the Panasonic SDR-SW20. It looks like what I'm looking for, does anyone have any experience with it or have a suggestion for something similar to recommend ?
