ong time ago, recording videos was something that was limited only to expensive and big camcorders but now you can capture video content on smartphones, iPod Touch or any digital camera. But there is a big difference in quality between the professional level equipment and these handy devices and there is a price difference too. Sony Bloggie Touch MHS-TS20 is pocket camcorder having eight gigabytes of storage space and the price of this gadget is $199.99. It is a good middle ground device, the video quality is good, they are easy to carry around and the price too is not really high. This category of camcorders is expanding constantly but Bloggie is unique amongst them due to the great video quality at different resolutions. It also has a photo shooter and a touch screen display. The options inside will certainly satisfy most of the users. I will recommend this gadget if you are looking for an inexpensive mini camcorder.
Perhaps, the only uncool thing about the Sony Bloggie Touch is its name; other than that, the device is slick looking. The gadget is 2.1 inches high, 4.3 inches wide and 0.6 inches deep. The body is thinner than Flip MinoHD (which costs $299) or Kodak Playtouch (which costs $229.95). The Sony product weighs 4.2 ounces which is on par with other pocket camcorders in the market. The manufacturer sent me an eight gigabyte version for review and there is another four gigabyte version in the market. The four and eight gigabyte versions can shoot one and two hours of 1080p 30 fps video respectively. If you opt for lower resolutions, the number will go up. The eight gigabytes version gave me four and half hours of 720p 30 fps video.
My Sony Bloggie Touch MHS-TS20 review model was black on all the sides. There are different color options like pink, blue, and silver. The chassis changes according to your color choice except for the silver cap which surrounds the lens. On the front side, the camcorder has Sony logo and close to that, there is the lens. There is nothing other than that and this gives a minimal look to the device. The shutter and power button are located on left side for capturing still photos and on the right, you will find a door which swings for showing miniHDMI port which lets your connect this Bloggie to a large HDTV.
On the bottom of Sony Bloggie Touch MHS-TS20, there is tripod mount.
