Sony unveils next generation touchscreen Bloggie pocket video camera
Sony has announced a touchscreen version of its Bloggie pocket video camera which can record to full HD and is capable of 12.8 megapixel stills
Not so long ago, Sony took its original Bloggie pocket video camera and placed a 270 degrees swivel lens at the top that was said to cater for those spontaneous moments. Now the next generation of Bloggie has been revealed and the swivel lens has gone. In its place is a fixed F2.8 wide angle, auto-focus lens with 4x digital zoom. The new MHS-TS20 and MHS-TS10 Bloggie Touch pocket camcorders have a 3-inch touchscreen display, can shoot up to full 1080p high definition video and are capable of snapping 12.8 megapixel still images.
The latest Bloggie pocket-friendly video cameras sport a fairly minimalist design with one side being dominated by a 3-inch (76.2mm), 288,000 dot resolution capacitive touchscreen display and the other showing just the F2.8 Sony lens. Below the display – which benefits from automatic orientation and where all framing, viewing and feature selection takes place – sits a dedicated record button.
The 2.04 x 4.21 x 0.59-inch (52 x 107 x 15.2mm) pocket cam comes with either 4GB or 8GB of internal storage, an Exmoor CMOS sensor with sensitivity ranging from ISO80 to ISO1600, SteadyShot image stabilization and is pre-installed with Bloggie software, which caters for editing and organizing of content prior to upload to social networking sites like YouTube and FaceBook. The software can also link up to Sony's own Personal Space service which sends out email viewing invitations to contacts specified by the user.
