Description
ncix.com The video quality on this is surprisingly good, and I only tested it in 720p. Actually the reason I tested in 720p is because I find that the most appealing thing about this little handheld video camera. It can shoot at 60fps in 720p mode. That means you get VERY smooth video performance out of it.
The video opens with a brisk unboxing of the Sony Bloggie MHS PM5K, highlighting its core selling point: full HD 1080p recording, with the capability to shoot in 720p at 60 frames per second for extra smoothness. Linus walks through the package contents, noting the included 360° lens accessory, a USB extension, a 4 GB Memory Stick Pro Duo, a wipe cloth case, and a basic wrist strap, along with a user manual and warranty information. He demonstrates how the camera is powered by a built in battery and shows the convenient built in USB port for direct computer connectivity, a feature he compares to the Flip camera for ease of use without cables. The camera body is shown with its 360° lens mounted, and Linus tests the initial power up, confirming the unit powers on and the display activates. He explores the physical controls, the microSD/Memory Stick slot, and the tripod mount, explaining how the device can be used on a small tripod for tabletop shots. Throughout, he emphasizes the plug-and-play nature, fast setup, and the intuitive feel of handling a compact, handheld video recorder. By the end of the segment, he previews the on-device menu, noting options for 1080p at 30fps down to VGA 30fps, with 720p at 60fps identified as a sweet spot for smooth HD video, and he teases a separate deeper dive into menu navigation in a follow-up video.
