At less than a pound and just 2.3 inches thick, the GR-D370's slim frame is small and light enough to carry in a handbag or backpack. Unfortunately, the small form factor means cramped and awkward controls for large hands, but the camcorder is a good match for smaller to more average-size palms.
The GR-D370's features are standard for a compact, budget camcorder. Its sensor is a puny 680,000-pixel CCD, with just 340,000 effective pixels for both stills and movies. While you get a relatively powerful 32X optical zoom lens, there's only digital rather than optical image stabilization, so you'll get a fair amount of jitter at maximum zoom unless you're using a tripod. The camera also accepts SD cards for recording still images, but the tiny sensor means your photos will really be suitable only for e-mailing, not printing.
