Sony Introduces the Bloggie

bloggie

Sony really needs to shake up its creative team. Last year they released a mini camcorder called the Webbie and this year we get a camcorder called the Bloggie? Who is doing this?

The sad part is that the Bloggie looks good. The specs are great, with all three models filming in 1080p and taking 5.0-megapixel photos. The design looks sleek and its even got a fancy 270-degrees swivel to film or snap your big ugly mug whenever you want. The ability to film yourself makes the name "Vloggie" more appropriate, but don't tell them that.

I've been looking for a good pocket camcorder and with the PM5 model going for $169 the Bloggie wouldn't be a bad choice were it not for the awful name. And I might even be able to look past it if it weren't displayed proudly on the front of the camera, so as to remind the whole world that you're filming with your beloved Bloggie.
