You might want to consider Sony 900 instead. $ 400 after VAT and logistics will add up to around € 400.
Display quality/contrast/glare is a bit below iRex 800's quality. On the other hand, it's the usual "polished" Sony design. Personally I can say, iRex 800 is growing on me. I miss the "intelligent" zoom, but that's basically it. The rest is great. And the display quality is benchmark, seems close (or maybe even par) with Sony 505!
