Sony Bloggie HD 360 Degree Lens Test Linus Tech Tips

The video presents a quick test of the 360 degree lens that comes with the Sony Bloggie, filmed in a parking lot to evaluate how the lens captures a full panorama and how the resulting footage looks on the Bloggie's small built in screen. Linus explains his initial skepticism about achieving decent video quality with the 360 lens and notes that the raw footage may not translate well onto the camera’s tiny display, hinting at potential distortion or stitching challenges. He records a short sequence in the middle of a parking lot and indicates he plans to transfer the clip to a computer to assess the actual quality and decide whether to upload it to YouTube. The overall tone is exploratory and skeptical, as Linus signals the likely need for software processing to render the footage meaningfully, and he closes by summarizing the test as a preliminary look at the Bloggie 360 lens capability. In the end, the video serves as a candid, ultra-brief hands on evaluation of whether the 360 degree lens can produce usable footage straight out of the camera or if post processing is required to achieve a viewable panorama.
