Maybe it's the foreshortening of the camera angle, but the handle (although looking bloody sleek) doesn't look too ergonomic.

Personally I'd like to see more photos from all angles.

Clearly the handle blocks access to the viewfinder. I'm not familiar with the camera so presumably it has a flip up/out monitor. Can we see it with that open?

Also, where does the battery fit? If it's at the back (like my cameras) then will you have to take the handle off to change to a spare batter?

Are you aiming to film skateboarding? Just a guess
