Choose a camcorder that you’ll feel confident to take with you wherever you go. The Samsung W300 digital camcorder is designed to withstand dust, shocks and immersion in up to 3 metres of water. The useful Switch Grip feature also delivers flexibility for all preferences and situations, letting you operate the camcorder with your right hand, left hand or holding it upside-down. Even a lack of light won’t spoil shooting, thanks to an ultra-bright F2.2 lens and 5MP Back Side Illuminated CMOS sensor.

Capture a world of mystical underwater creatures, vibrant coral reefs or simply fun underwater. The Samsung W350 / W300 films sharp, brilliant moving pictures in up to 3 meters of water depth, repels dust and sand with its dust proof feature, and withstands shock making this camcorder the must-have item for all your adventures. Take it with you to the beach, pool, desert, mountain tops, anywhere your adventure takes you and capture every moment with the Samsung W350 / W300.

The W350 comes with sports accessories that make it easier to capture your adventures - like the rugged Floating Bumper case. Whether you’re riding a surfboard, paddling a kayak or relaxing in an inner tube, if you drop the camcorder, it will float alongside you. Or, if running or mountain climbing are your sports, strap the W350 to your arm or chest with the Wearable Band to keep your hands free while keeping your camera handy.

W350 features the innovative Switch Grip function, giving you the flexibility to hold the camcorder in either way of upside-down. The built-in G-magnetic sensor quickly recognizes when the camcorder and its LCD display is turned so it knows which side is up and which side is down. That means you can hold the W350 with whichever hand is more comfortable or allows you to capture videos from the best vantage point.

With the W350 / W300, you’re always ready to shoot crystal-clear video, even when the lights are low. The 5MP BSI (Back Side Illuminated) CMOS sensor collects twice as much light information as does a conventional CMOS sensor, while reducing image noise and distortion. And the F2.2 bright lens gives you the ability to shoot at higher shutter speeds. So you capture sharp, blur-free video, even at the end of a mountain sunset.
