The Sony Bloggie may be the winner in the ‘best camera for bloggers’ competition. Compared to similar blogger cameras like Flip or the Kodak Zi line, the Sony Bloggie is the best designed and probably the best looking mini camcorder in the market.
Plus Sony Bloggie is also a camera best buy for its US$170 to US$200 price tag.
If you’re a blogger who records food reviews, makes a movie of events, stalks pets, documents shopping purchases and likes to take videos or pictures of yourself (doing the most mundane thing) then this is your camera.
Blogs have become a real medium of influence and it is validated when company giants such as Sony produces a product specifically for bloggers.
WHY SONY BLOGGIE IS A BLOGGER’S CAMERA
- It’s small, light and not a dainty camera (no guilt in scratching it)
- Video recording is an amazing 1280×720 at 60 frames per second (a typical point-and-shoot camera only records 30fps)
- Plus Sony Bloggies shoots Full High Definition (HD) videos at 1920×1080 at 30fps
- Hassel free blogger camera! I mean if you happen to spy, say a Brad Pitt/Jennifer Aniston rendezvous, you just press that Sony Bloggie play button instead of fumbling around with a button congested high end point and shoot camera.
- Built-in USB connector allows easy uploading. Plus Sony Bloggie movie and photo formats are compatible with YouTube, Blogspot, WordPress, Tumblr, Facebook or whatever popular cyberspace address bloggers live in
- It’s like a mini tripod. The Sony Bloggie has a 270 swivelling lens supported by the square Sony Bloggie body. So can just lay the camera down on the table, swivel the lens and viola… you can record yourself.
- The pistol grip
- 360° Panoramic video recording. For an extra US$20, you get the Sony Bloggie kit which has a 4GB memory card and a 360° lens so you can shoot panoramic videos.
- Batteries can be charged by plugging the Sony Bloggie in your computer
- Memory uses Sony Memory Stick (expensive) or the generic SD cards.
THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU BUY
- Artsy photo camera this is not. It only takes 5 mega-pixel still photos
- Low light video recording is not the best
- No flash
- Sony Bloggie needs bigger screen instead of just the 2.3 inches (6.0 cm)
