Design

The HMX-W300 comes in red, orange, or black, and has nearly the same dimensions as that of an iPhone. So, you shouldn't have any problem slipping the camcorder into your pocket or carrying it around in a small purse, but you do need to remember to let it dry out after long periods of underwater use. The look of the camcorder is mostly unchanged compared to last year's W200, but Samsung did revamp the button design to make them more "water-friendly". The new buttons are coated in a layer of plastic, a design we call "membrane buttons", that eliminates any gaps that would normally exist between the button and the body of the camcorder.
