Quality of construction is quite nice. It is not "Polished" stainless steel so fingerprints do not show on it which is quite nice. The trap door that conceals the mini-usb port for PC sync/charging via USB closes very nice. It is those little bits that make you feel the quality.

Battery door is standard. Push button down and then slide out. The unit can not be charged while on and I don't think you can use it while plugged in to the wall (manual was very scant). Have to turn it off to charge the battery, which is very user-replaceable.

The door to hold the SD card is a little flimsy, but the SD card uses a Push-in-to-lock mechanism and push it in again to pop it out. Not like our tablets. I guess long term or a lot of in and out may wear out the spring, but I just got it today and the unit seems to bite down on the SD card very securely.

Unit has a flash on the front which (and I'm still fiddling with the menu) I think can be turned on full-time for in-the-dark video recording. Video recording records with sound too and can be played back via a mono-speaker. Flash is equivalent to those on disposable cameras. Fairly bright but it is no xenon. Flash is not auto, you can set it to turn on (for pictures), go red-eye reduction, or just turn it off.

LCD screen is used for eveything - there is no optical viewfinder. However the screen can be swiveled around so that you can shoot yourself or playback with the screen reversed on the outside and closed.

Microphone also can be used to JUST record audio notes. There is a unit setting that toggles Video record - Picture Mode - Audio mode. All the controls are on the back side, one of which is a slider switch to move between taking stuff and playing back stuff.

On the front there is an AV port (with included adapter) that lets you either use headphones or plug it in to your TV.

Oh, also has a lanyard hole with included lanyard.

As far as menu goes, you can toggle the varios resolution settings (video and still) to maximize usage of your card. Unit can be set to auto-power off 3/5/10 minutes

I'm a bit torn on what type of SD card I want to shove in this thing now that I know SDHC card can be read (with a limit on the capacity of course). Option A is to get another 16GB card which will be moved back and forth between my NIT or Option B is to get a 2GB Eye-Fi card. Haven't had any experience with those so I'm still debating. Leaning towards another 16GB card but debating none-the-less.

Video and pictures still to come. Time for netflix here at HQ.
