Camera is very nice small and unobtrusive, but downside is the "slipperiness" and not ease of use. The handle is glued quickly and simply, looks good, and allowed the hand strap legally compliant operation of the camera. With the handle, I can operate the camera with the right hand alone, the thumb is free for 4-way wheel and the Video button, the index finger is on the trigger, Pinky is as a support under the camera. Without handle I could not safely operate the camera with one hand. For one-handed shooters and better operability so buy recommendation!
