The MHS-TS10 4GB Bloggie Touch Camera is one of Sony's 2010 Bloggie offerings. With a boldly different take on their popular pocket camcorder, Sony presents a 3" touch screen cam that carries up to 4GB, or 2 hours, of HD video. The Bloggie also doubles as a point-and-shoot digital camera - capturing digital stills up to 12.8MP in size.
What else do you need to know about the Bloggie Touch, you ask? Well, this go-round the Bloggie is slightly more than a simple point-and-shoot camcorder. SteadyShot image stabilization helps to reduce camera shake and blur, while face detection ensures that everyone looks their best. Additionally, the 3" touch screen rotates its orientation and utilizes the touch and slide method for searching through your videos and photos. The camera also features 4x digital zoom for the ability to move in on somewhat distant subjects, and the ability to shoot macro (aka - extreme close-up) photos.
When you're done shooting and ready to share the Bloggie Touch has pre-loaded software that starts up automatically upon connection with a compatible PC. The software also allows you to tag your videos and stills in-camera for sharing on social media sites. And should you feel the need to share your footage on the big screen just connect the Touch to your HDTV via the HDMI connection.

Comments about Sony MHS-TS10 4GB Bloggie Touch Camera (Black):
This camera is really easy to use right out of the box. We purchased it to capture everyday moments with our new baby and it has been perfect for that. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 just because it doesn't take very good low light photos but all in all we are very pleased with this product.

Comments about Sony MHS-TS10 4GB Bloggie Touch Camera (Black):
After looking at many pocket size digital still and video cameras I found the "Bloggie" to be the most powerful, intuitive and easily deployed device of any I tried. The control interface is natural, the 4 element mechanically focusing lens is the best I experienced of any of the (video) devices like it and the viewing screen is amazing. Low-light performance is challenged but as a trade-off is worth considering if still photography is not your main application.
