      Ever since small cameras have come out with very affordable pricing the market has been hot. Sony definitely did it right with the bloggie series. I just got my camera yesterday so I can't speak to it to much but my initial thoughts are good. The camera is lightweight and perfect for sticking in your pocket, backpack, purse, etc. The flip out lcd screen is great and gives you clear feedback. So far the video is very clear, and this camera couldn't be easier to use. One button for taking pictures, and one button for recording video.
      The cons are the lens cover seems to pop off very easily. So if you are stashing the camera without a case, make sure you check it. The camera does not film with the screen closed, so don't fall while filming. Also the stabilization doesn't work for 1080p only for the 720p. However these problems are not that big of a deal for a HD camera for only $200. So far I would suggest getting this camera, its travels well, and does a awesome job.

      Having been a big fan of Sony cameras , this being my forth plus owning a few other sony products. I can't help but feeling let down by theMHS PM5. I have windows vista 32 bit. The PMB software does not even support it's own media file type. I have always been good at fixing all the bugs and working around all types of media, but this one takes the cake. I wished I had waited longer before I bought the Sony Bloggie MHS PM5 to hear others reveiws about this product. Sony rush in too soon on this product to get on the market. My Biggest let down is no support at all with this camera. Still a Sony fan but I'll be getting a Flip

        Comments about Sony MHS-CM5/V Bloggie Camcorder:

        The screen looks big but the image displayed is less than half the screen and rest of the screen shows the image information. The image on the LCD is literally not visible even indoors, forget if you are outdoor shooting. Sony disappointed me in this model.

        Small Videocamera NOT available by Sony anymore.

        By Tickets

        Comments about Sony MHS-CM5/V Bloggie Camcorder:

        Purchased this for a Mother's Day gift in 2010. Called SONY, to find out if any more accesories were available for purchase. They had none. All this unit came with is a CD Rom, 2 wires, Battery, and an instruction sheet to show how it works. I also noticed that the wire for charging the battery is tiny. I had to go purchase a 6 foot USB wire for the unit to be able to perform charging the battery from my PC. I am wondering if I might want to trade it in. ALSO: (HIGHER NUMBER OF MEGAPIXELS WOULD HAVE BEEN FAVORABLE).
