Sony outs new waterproof HDR-GW77V Handycam, available May 25th in Japan

Despite having launched an entire battalion of Handycams back at CES, Sony left the adventurous crowd out by not introducing any ruggedized shooters. With that during mind, the Japanese outfit has taken the wraps off of its first waterproof (and dustproof) Handycam, which packs a mouthwatering 20.4-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor in a position to 1080p video at 60fps. Staying true to its Handycam roots, the HDR-GW77V sports a three-inch swivel screen while also offering 16GB of internal storage and a 10x optical zoom. Sony claims the camcorder can handle as much as 16 feet of water in addition to sustain a five-foot freefall. The HDR-GW77V can be hitting Japanese shelves late next month for 70,000 yen (around $860), and there is no word on when -- or if -- it will make a visit outside its home turf.
