Review on Discontinued Sony Bloggie Camera: Capturing Moments with Precision - Camera & Photo by Eric Timbeross

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good camcorder of its kind.

I looked at many reviews and video samples before deciding to buy this camera and I have to say that I'm quite happy with some of the shortcomings. Let's be honest there aren't many options for this type of camcorder, there are about 3 or 4 others and each one has something that makes you cringe. Sony Bloggie doesn't support memory cards, which means that if the internal storage is full, you'll have to erase some data to take a few more pictures, and it won't drain the battery either, so be sure to charge it before using it it. When I used my blog on my vacation trip I had to take my laptop with me so at the end of each day I downloaded all the videos to my laptop and then deleted them on my blog the next day and the battery there is usually enough for you. all day, even after 4 hours of 1080P recording. I've never had a day where we fully used 4 hours in a day, so storage and battery wasn't a huge issue for me as long as I can clear the internal storage. regularly. HD videos look sharp and the stabilizer works well. The only problem with this camera is that when you start recording vertically, you cannot turn it sideways (wide shot) without stopping it first, otherwise it will tilt when the video loads since it doesn't rotate the video automatically, if you record it in one continuous motion (same for iPhones). and like most pocket camcorders, this one doesn't take good pictures in the dark. My advice to everyone: before you buy a pocket camcorder, don't look for the perfect camera, but try to find one that suits your needs because the perfect pocket camcorder doesn't exist yet.

Pros
  • Sparkles
