Sony Bloggie MHS-PM1 camcorder review. A case in point is Sony’s CMOS sensor incorporating MHS-PM1, or as its producer would have it “bloggie” or “mobile HD snap camera”, which provides its paltry 12MB internal memory to be supplemented by virtue of the reality that it also accepts the company’s copyrighted Pro Duo Memory Stick. Just as well as it records High Definition footage at 1440 x 1080 pixels at a respectably smooth 30 frames per second in MP4 format, which will quickly eat away at any memory capacity and bring your hard drive a battering into the good deal. The choice is to shoot less memory hungry 5-megapixel JPEG photos.
Dual recording buttons come promptly under the thumb and flank a thin 4-x digital zoom lever, which again brings user-friendly operation. If we have a complain it’s that as with most mini HD camcorders, the 4.6cm or 1.8-inch, 230k dot resolution LCD monitor offered is slow, especially since the image is trimmed further while you switch it on to ape widescreen format.
Nowadays, most of us are well used to simply lifting and directing our camera phones at the activities taking place. That point has not been lost on electronics producers who have of late been taking over an “if you can’t beat them, join them” attitude and progressively reducing current camcorders down to phone size. It’s like the days of Dad regaining the brick-sized device from the dining room cupboard for the family holiday once a year.
Dad would also be alarmed to find tape-based taping has been systematically phased out over the past couple of years at consumer level in favor of storing video on built-in hard drives or, as with digital stills cameras, removable media cards. Therefore, as far as possible in a fast dynamical environment, the device itself is future proofreaded.
