Camcorder featuring an inline layout, with the lens axis, viewfinder, and LCD monitor along the photographer's line of sight. This is an original configuration, evident in the arrangement of the viewfinder next to the lens, and LCD monitor on back, among other touches. What's more, having the battery compartment inside the main unit can be seen as bold design for more graceful styling. The 8° slant formed by parts where one's index finger and little finger rest ensures that the unit is both easy to hold and secure in one's grip.
