Yes, they are in one row (horizontally). The other camera you mention
is the "action tracker". It was sold by Brookstone ('ya know: the gadget
company, or "poor man's Hammacher Schlemmer") in the USA. The latter is
made in China and has only one shutter speed. I got one of these, but
have never had time to try it out ...
