Size. Water/dustproof.Build quality. Image quality. Ability to take stills whilst recording video

Difficulty in accessing/operating zoom controls whilst operating with one hand. Tw0 handed operation really necessary in view of "fiddly" controls

light easy to use can be taken in water and good picture quality

Waterproof, which purchased for but not yet tested.

Handling is a little awkward.
