Capture all your adventures
Playing in the surf, out on safari, or at the top of the piste, the GW66VE is always ready to shoot steady, Full HD video in all conditions. So you can have fun capturing those special moments, wherever you are.

Hit the beach or the slopes
Slip the GW66VE in your pocket before every adventure. Waterproof to 10m, shockproof, dustproof and freezeproof down to -10°C, it’s a camcorder that’s ready to go wherever life takes you, from tumbles in the snow to dips in the sea.

No shakes, no problem
Get ready to move around – shoot from the hip, and get a stable, clear shot every time. With Optical SteadyShot Active Mode, camcorder shake is reduced, even when zooming in. Perfect for handheld shooting on the go.

Every detail, every time
Capture more of the moments and people that matter. An Exmor R™ CMOS sensor can capture every detail and takes lifelike movies and 20.4MP still pictures too. And with a G Lens from Sony and up to 10x optical zoom, get closer to everything you shoot.

Be a part of the movie
Fed up with never being in the shot? Self-shoot mode fixes that. There’s an ergonomic grip with a button on the front of the camcorder that lets you film yourself alone, or with your family and friends. Don’t miss out again.

It’s simple to share your movies
Easy to shoot, easy to share, you can record in either MP4 or AVCHD format. Choose MP4 if you want to put your videos on YouTube™ or AVCHD when you need maximum image quality, or if you want to burn Blu-ray movies.
