The Everlasting Blog Stopper...

There is no dought about it we live in a bloggers world...The ability to communicate thought, information, opinion and news is at a place we could not have dreamed of 30 years ago.I have just test driven the latest bloggers tech tool...its the Sony Bloggie and no I am not speaking crudly...

The Sony Bloggie is a MP4 HD Snap Camera a new generation of cameras designed for ease of use and fast transer onto and over the internet.
Now as a regular blogger I was very keen to get my hands on this piece of technology I was hoping for a device that would speed up the process of interviewing, shooting, photographing and recording blog peices. The big questions is can it do all these things.....the short answer is well....YES the long answer is:
The Sony Bloggie is a great concept, I hope these devices are here to stay but it falls short...well short in its performance. The 5.0 megapixle camera takes photos remanicent of a camera phone from 2-3 years back and the video footage although designed for use online produces poor quality footage. Which from experience I have always found Sony imaging equipment to produce nothing but high quality images with great colour and superior sound.What I like about the Sony Bloggie is:Easy setup it has an inbuilt USB adaptor and onboard software ready to use.Comes in great colours Purple, Pink, White and Blue making it fashionable.It charges off the USB connection so can be charged on any computer with easy. and can be mounted on a tripod for easy of use when you are on your own.If I had to score the Bloggie I would give it10 / 10 for the idea 5 / 10 for easy operation3 / 10 for the performanceMy advice to Sony would be please keep the idea and build another Bloggie...but with better optics, better image stability and maybe a GPS tracker would help us bloggers......Remember if you have any questions or comments send me an email.
