Q3: Please tell us about the particular points you addressed in the developing process of the GZ-X900.

In putting together the product, we paid attention to structural design to combine high resolution and high functionality together with reliable operability into an extremely compact body.
In particular, both the engineers and the designers placed a similar emphasis on the thickness of the body and gave this issue a lot of consideration.

Q2: From the perspective of an engineer, how does the GZ-X900 differ from conventional video cameras?

I don't think of the GZ-X900 as a one-unit-per-household item like others in the Everio series, but rather as a one-unit-per-person tool that becomes a part of personal events in our lives. To that end, its most important aspect is its portability.
Given this, we at first worked on the densification of circuits that would form the basis of the compact design.

Q1: Let me first ask about the basic idea of developing GZ-X900.

The challenge of how to incorporate the features of a high-resolution digital still camera in a video camera, in other words producing the "combination of moving image picture quality and still image picture quality," was a significant theme during development of GZ-X900.

Q5: How would you yourself like to make best use of the GZ-X900?
While it adheres to the concept behind the Everio series, which is that "everyone" should be able to enjoy filming "everywhere" and "at every time," I think that the GZ-X900 is a tool that allows users to enjoy filming a variety of scenes as they continuously carry it around as a piece of personal video equipment.
