The camera is pretty good quality, very compact and seems very robust. The hand is very good, and the belt that goes around the hand is very good quality and made of cloth, so it will not happen to nažulja hand after extended use. It is made of very good plastic, black and gray, with silver frame lens, so the color brown belt by the hand and fits perfect visually, but we assume that it will not be a problem. In addition to a stereo microphone on the front side can only be seen polugica to open the lens cover. On the left side, the biggest area occupies 2.7 "LCD display with a resolution of 112,000 pixels. This screen is slightly smaller resolution than the HD models we've seen, but still brilliant picture display, very good details and colors.

The right side is a cover for the slot DVD drives, and the mechanism is quite precise and not too rambunctious. Insert or change discs is very simple and will not be a problem even users who never previously worked. Optical frame looking a little harder than we liked, and only a very good resolution viewfinder (EVF in question is that). Here we note that this camera shoots in Wide format, which means that the clips are in the right film, 16:9 format. The battery is placed in the standard position, the back side. The logical place of the wheel and the ignition and the camera mode dial and record button below the thumb. Mention Easy Mode, which allows students to literally a few seconds, start recording when the camera will automatically begin recording at the first free and accessible place on the media.
