CES 2012: NEW Bloggie Live MP4 Camera with Test Video

[citruscrushable]

What if you don't have WiFi in a house you're staying at (lets say your on vacation) then what do you do? Do you just go to a place outside where there's wifi and then upload?

And is the light automatic or do you have to press something the whole time with the light shining

@gogoutube thanks!

I'm going to call you out on the Final Cut compatibility. I had a Bloggie Touch and attempted to edit its clips in Final Cut Pro 7. If you drop more than a few clips into your timeline, you'll run into an "Out of Memory" error. The mp4 files are not ready to edit out of the gate. They absolutely need to be converted to AIC or ProRes first, especially if they were shot at 720p60. The included PMB software was also sub-par, offering very little useful functionality.

@andrewwilsonvlogs Thanks for the honesty. Wanted to let you know we're asking our Product Team about this. Look for our next SGNL by Sony video where we're going to answer this on our show!

[IceFreshProductions]

I own a PC?

[sonyelectronics]

@IceFreshProductions Thanks for posting. Not sure if you mean does it work on a PC but it definitely does :) Hope that info is helpful!

No mic jack, no sale.

[sonyelectronics]

@JooTubeTV Understood. Thanks for the feedback. Aside from the mic jack, is there other feedback I can share with the team? Appreciate the honesty.

[AlexBurnout1]

Great!

[videosdeferhd]

I have last years model and it works great, definilly upgrading to the new one

[selftaughtninja]

@videosdeferhd last years model sucked. worse 300 dollars spent. horrible mpeg quality and battery life was horrible. but the sony cybershot is beast . i use it every day

[sonyelectronics]

@selftaughtninja Glad you're a Cyber-shot fan. We've made some great advancements in this newer model but I understand the reservation. It's now offered in stores so if you have a chance, check one out as we'd love to hear your feedback on the latest and greatest. thanks for sharing.

[sonyelectronics]

@videosdeferhd "smile" thanks for the support and glad you like!

[digitalreporter]

How close to you have to be to get "good audio" in a noisy hall? I'd like to know what a mic jack would add in terms of weight and cost.... I use a Creative Vado HD and have to get super close for good audio....it can be done.....but there is a price.....people feel uncomfortable with the device so close.

[DarknesSxLDS]

awesome, time to upgrade.. BUT

If i record in portrait will the cam itself convert that to landscape (like flip cams do)??

I really, really would like to get an answer for this...

Nice review, thanks

[codyrdy15]

Looks like they moved the mics to a new spot, which was something messed up with the previous models.

[sonyelectronics]

@codyrdy15 thanks. We took a lot of feedback into consideration on this one. Thanks for sharing and keep the feedback coming!

You should have made this video with your new Bloggie Live MP4 Camera! C'mon, Sony.

[sonyelectronics]

@SolarEXtract Ha. Love that. We actually included some sample video and photos in this video. did you see it? what did you think?

[SolarEXtract]

@sonyelectronics The video description says it's a 1080p cam, but this video only goes up to 720p. I wanna REALLY see what it can do!

[tomyloveu]

does it do webcam??

[sonyelectronics]

@tomyloveu Good question - it does in more of a live stream kind of way vs. a skype type way. It's not a two-way camera so you wouldn't be able to chat on it for example. Is that info helpful?

[JogBird]

woah .. way to much.. spend a bit more and get the hx9v.. much better video and audio. and its a real camera

[whoryanp]

how good is it in low light situations & in high volume areas " concerts " ?

[sonyelectronics]

@whoryanp There's a light on this one which is new but if it's more of a really dark environment like at night, there isn't a flash. When I played with the camera the light reminded me of a light you'd activate on your cell phone so it would just depend on the use case. Is this info helpful?

[whoryanp]

@sonyelectronics yes thanks

[sexchiller45]

lol i could put something in your hand
