The MHS-CM5 bloggie is all about simplicity and ease of use. Forget about having to change shooting modes as the full auto shooting will help users to get optimum image quality in various situations, both outdoor and indoor. Besides, the positioning of the buttons is also very well thought out. Simply push the video button to shoot a movie, and the photo button to snap a picture. For viewing, turn the camera sideways and press play to enjoy what you have just shot on the 2.4" LCD. At the viewing position, the conveniently placed directional joystick makes browsing easy. Despite its small size, the bloggie is capable of producing high quality 1920 x 1080 HD movies and 5 Mega pixel still photos that are ready to be viewed on virtually any PC or Mac, or to be uploaded to various websites for sharing.
- 1920x1080 HD recording w/5MP still images
- 2.5" LCD3 (230k pixels) with full-screen playback

Here is a review
Amazon is obviously filled with fake reviews from either fanboys or competing company employes. I bought this camera, and even reviewed it, compared it to other cameras like the Kodak zi8 (search google for "letsfindjesus bloggie" to find videos of my review). The Sony is the best under $200 camcorder on the market. Its auto focus is quick, the colors are rich and accurate, and the mono mic actually sounds good. It has a built in usb plug (which is also used to charge) and pretty good face detection. The still camera (unlike the pocket cams) actually takes decent 5 megapixel photos. It has a playback speaker which is loud enough. The 5X optical zoom is smooth, and the digital zoom is well... a digital zoom. Bottom line, for the price the picture quality and build is mighty good.
There is some negatives, I listed them below, none are deal breaking.. more of a wish list. The biggest feature missing for me is Steady Shot (image stabilization) on the 1080p and 720/60 frame...
The good, the bad, and the ugly truth
I bought this camera as we prepared to go on spring break. We didn't have a whole lot of time to figure things out before we left so we had to learn on the fly.
The good:
Lightweight, easy to use
Good picture quality overall
Color does shift with different light levels though
The bad:
An issue I found was with the image stabilizer. Honestly the images look better with it off. The picture is too jumpy and struggles to frame things up and focus with it on. Seems counter-intuitive but I can't explain it any other way.
The Ugly:
The Sony web site indicates the unit comes with a charger - wrong
In typical Sony style the customer service agent tried to imply to me that the charger was only included if I bought it directly from Sony. The problem is that if you intend to travel and do not have a computer to hook the USB cable up to you are out of luck for charging the battery. After multiple calls to Sony...
