Reviewer Rating:

Pros

Attractive and solid build
New, improved software
Large and responsive touch display

Cons

Finnicky picture adjustments
Video needs more detail
Necessary accessories not included

Quick Take:

By pocket camcorder standards, the Sony Bloggie exceedingly succeeds and sports the best design in its class..

Sony has the touch! The Bloggie Touch, that is.

The compact Bloggie Touch is the third pocket camcorder from Sony carrying the Bloggie moniker. Gone are the swivel-lens-sporting PM5 and the bulkier pistol-grip-style CM5 ? just like the Sony Webbie before them. Sony's latest pocket camcorder offering features a 3.0-inch, touch-enabled display, and a form factor that looks more like a cell phone than it does a camcorder.

It's certainly sleek, but looks aren't everything. In the face of competition from Kodak, Panasonic, Cisco and Samsung, does Sony have the stuff to stack up?
