Design flaws in the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5V

• The battery/memory card door is weak
• The battery/memory card door opens too easily while holding the camera in your right hand
• The flash can be covered by your middle finger too easily when holding the camera in your right hand (without placing your middle finger here, the camera is more difficult to hold)
• The stereo microphone can be covered by your left index finger too easily when holding the camera with both hands

• Panoramic photos I've taken
