Sony Bloggie PM5
Editor's Review
The Bloggie PM5 is designed like a standard pocket camcorder, except for the cool-looking 270-degree swivel lens. That's a nice feature they've carried over from last year's "Webbie" PM1. The digital-only zoom is disappointing, as is the lack of image stabilization, but it does record 1080p HD video (though this seems to be a standard feature on pocket cams this year). Sony is clearly aiming at the on-the-go media-savvy types with this one (though they likely scared away a swathe of potential buyers by calling it "Bloggie"), but it remains to be seen if it can make a big dent in Flip's territory.
