As I mentioned on my Infrared Thermography blog, I do not really understand the styling of this camera. To me, it most most closely resembles an old DSLR from the 1990s when they still were built to resemble film cameras.
The price is not bad for what you get, competitive with other imagers with similar capabilities.
