Shoot & Share Cameras

I was contemplating whether I should buy the HD Flip cam or the HD Sony Bloggie (which is Sony's version of the Flip). The decision was easy though after the cashier at Target told me one main difference between the two: the Flip has internal memory, so you can't use a memory card which means you have to film your video, and then if you use up the 2 or 4 hours that the camera comes stock with you then have to go to your computer and upload the footage before using the camera again.  The Bloggie however uses a memory card which makes it a little bit more expensive to maintain, but a lot easier when recording videos (especially if they are as long as the videos that I record).  With the Bloggie you can use multiple memory cards which means you never have to worry about running out of memory.  So if you're wondering which cam you should get, go with the Sony Bloggie.  Trust me. 

Below is a link to a short test video I shot during my trip to Italy last summer.  Be sure to watch it in HD ;)

Sony Bloggie CM5 Unboxing

Pocket HD video recorders have become a very popular segment in the video camera market. Just two years ago, there were only a handful of sub $200 cameras. Today, there a vast number of HD pocket cameras to choose from.

As someone who likes to contantly take video footage, I had been shopping for an HD camera for qute some time. There were several reasons I chose the Bloggie, but more on that in another video. For now, here's the unboxing that I recorded earlier last week.
