Yeah, you’ve got to be *very* careful with finger placement. That’s the downside to all these small gadgets I guess.

Loving the jean shot! I tend to find the iPhone sometimes a pain to hold to take a video or picture because there’s not really much to get a hold of, I bet them tincy wincy Nanos are even worse!

Hi Mike. It is in a bit of an odd place admittedly, but I’ve discovered that if you are shooting in portrait mode you can just flip the nano upside down and hold the top end of the device and the video automatically flips for you. So, that’s great for portrait otherwise it would be difficult not to have fingers all over the lens. In landscape mode my finger went close to the lens once or twice, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it’s positioning.

The YouTube upload quality looks great. What’s it like holding the thing with the camera at the bottom. I’ve heard some reports that it’s a bit tricky.
