None of the replacement Samsung models have such a bezel but the Hyundai does - the relatively lower specification of the camera is reflected in the lower price of the kit.To some extent, the NV100HD was Samsung "going out on a high" with the NV line - the spec included HD video, OIS, 14 megapixel sensor etc on the last model in that line. The WB series more or less replaces those models but bulk up in terms of size and price.Hope that, sort of, explains the change <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Cheers, Pete</blockquote>
