SVP WP5300
SVP has produced a slim and durable digital video recorder with this WP5300 model. Waterproof up to 10 feet, it captures clear video and photos with no problems. With face detection and smile shutter mode, you can capture great portrait shots that are focused on your subjects’ beaming faces. While this camera seems to go through batteries quickly, you can always purchase a rechargeable battery for those long vacations. For such an inexpensive camcorder at $45.99, we were surprised by how well it held up to some rugged conditions.
