Hi Garth, sorry to hear you had an issue with your HX-WA30 but happy we were able to assist! The best way to keep your camera safe is to vigilantly follow the instructions in the manual for cleaning the seals after use. This will ensure a watertight cover. MCB

Took it snorkeling on holidays it lasted 3 days and the viewer filled up with water .end of camera. no hesitation with Panasonic fully replaced.
I suggest trying your new camera in a bucket of water before going on holidays.
less stress

I previously had a similar Samsung product and it was fine when the subject was still, but if trying to take a moving shot it was snail slow. Consequently I missed a lot of good shots, but have heaps of “sides of trucks, light poles, trees”
I really like the shape as it’s easy to carry in my pocket, but am reluctant to buy if it is going to be another snail.

Due to water in the camera the warranty was not honored.

Hi David, The HX-WA30 is classed as multimedia cameras and as such have a frame rate of 30fps which is easily usable by a pc.

The camcorder was placed or exposed in the sea water at 10 meters depth and performed perfect without a cover to protect it from salt water.
I believe your staff used the lends filter at least.
Are you going to try for the shaver LAMDASH next time?
