Sony Bloggie Duo HD MHS FS2 Camcorders review


Sony Bloggie Duo HD MHS FS2
Sony Bloggie Duo HD MHS FS2 If camera and camcorder manufacturers are right in this area us, we’re an dreadfully vain bunch. Report has it that, all anyone desires take cinema and record of is themselves—that’s why Casio built the flipping, swiveling Tryx pocket camera ($249, 3.5 stars), why Samsung added a second LCD to the front of the DualView TL225 ($349.99, 4 stars), and why Sony produced the Sony Bloggie Duo HD MHS FS2 pocket camcorder ($169.99 supervise over). A second, front-facing spectacle and levelheaded record feature makes it a fantastic device for record bloggers and self-likeness fans. If superior performance is what you seek, even if, our Editors’ Extent, the Bloggie Upset ($179.99-$199.99, 4 stars), is the best extent.
Sony Bloggie Duo HD MHS FS2 Design
Sony Bloggie Duo HD MHS FS2 evident who Sony Bloggie Duo HD MHS FS2 is targeting with the Bloggie Duo. Your color choices are violet, pink, green, and colorless (my assess unit was green, thankfully). None are exactly discreet; I wouldn’t be bowled over to see a Duo or two at a Justin Bieber concert. In all-function, this camcorder lacks the sleekness of the Bloggie Upset. And weighing 4.64 ounces and measuring 4.38 by 2.25 by 0.75 inches (HWD), Sony Bloggie Duo HD MHS FS2 also better in each dimension than the Bloggie Upset. That’s not to say it’s huge; it’s in this area average size for this class, and will easily slip into a pocket. If tiny is what you’re after, try out out the considerably less vital Kodak Playfull ($149.95, 3 stars). The Duo comes with 4GB of domestic storage, which is excellent for in this area two hours of HD record (even if the device arbitrarily limits you to recording only 29 summary at a time, which I found odd.)

The ports and joystick on the Duo are traditional after by the Bloggie Upset: On the left side are a Power pin, and a Shutter pin for the still camera. The right side houses a mini-HDMI port for connecting the Duo to an HDTV for high-def playback, and a flip-out USB arm for connecting the camera to your notebook. The USB arm is a austere handle you pull down to pop it out, and it feels more levelheaded than the flimsy arm on the Sony Bloggie Duo HD MHS FS2 Upset. The arm means you don’t need any superfluous cables to use the Duo either, which is especially clever in view of the fact that it’s what you’ll use to charge the device in view of the fact that there’s no removable array.
Nearly back are a five-way directional pad with the Confirmation pin in the middle, three Playback buttons, menu door, LCD control, and a 2.7-inch cover. The spectacle is astute, to the top with 230k dots (in this area average for an low-priced digital camera), but it’s a modest less vital than the 3-inch LCD on the Sony Bloggie Duo HD MHS FS2. Technically, even if, the Bloggie Duo can claim it’s got more cover real estate, because it sports an additional LCD, a 2-incher on the front of the camera. A tap on the middle of the three soft keys next to the rear cover turns on the front LCD, and you can use it as a viewfinder as you focus the lens on physically. The front-facing cover isn’t very high-res, but Sony Bloggie Duo HD MHS FS2 facility fine for framing your face as you confirmation record or photos. The presence of two exposed LCDs means you’ll want to be strict when you shove the Duo in a bag. If you want a pocket camcorder you can beat up, try out out the harsh Kodak Playsport Zx5 ($179.99, 4 stars).

The Sony Bloggie Duo HD MHS FS2 boundary feels like Sony Bloggie Duo HD MHS FS2 was urban in this area ten being ago: Unattractive, low-resolution icons proliferate, and finding settings isn’t very intuitive; luckily, there aren’t very many of them to find. Additional than changing the resolution of record and images, or setting a timer (all of which can be done in a tap or two), there’s not much you can do additional than spring out. Where the Bloggie Upset was austere, designed to be simple to steer and intuitive to be with you, the Duo didn’t get the same behavior. The boundary doesn’t matter as much when there’s no upset cover (like there is on the Bloggie Upset), but the Duo’s UI still a bit underwhelming.

Sony Bloggie Duo HD MHS FS2 Performance

Sony may have sacrificed size and end to fit a second LCD on the Duo, but record feature doesn’t take a hit: The footage produced by the Bloggie Duo is each bit as excellent as the Bloggie Upset. The camcorder can spring out high-def footage at 1080p30, 720p60, and 720p30, and all three looked brilliant with clear, bracing colors and bright footage. Audio sounded fine—my voice was always clear, but the Duo picked up a honest amount of shared class noise, especially wind. You’ll find the same shooting quirks here as with the Bloggie Upset, counting digital-only zoom, and the very point way you need to hold the camcorder for the best results: sideways, with the Confirmation pin to the left or right. If not, you’ll get sideways footage.
Still images are downgraded significantly from the Bloggie Upset’s 12 megapixels. The Duo shoots up to 5-megapixel photos, and in my tests, as long as lighting was excellent, images were too. Indoor photos were very near universally unusable thankfulness to grain and noise, but out-of-doors, images were astute and bright. There’s a built-in LED sparkle to help in low-set alight situations, but the Bloggie Duo isn’t going to replace your dyed-in-the-wool digital camera.
One additional map sorry to say gone from the Duo is the skill to autofocus even as recording record. Face Detection and involuntary switching into Macro Mode serve very near the same function, but I had some distress getting accurate subjects in focus. Whatever business far enough away is simple to focus on, even if. This is the case with most pocket camcorders.

Record is recorded as .MP4 records, which can be natively uploaded to sites like YouTube and Facebook.
The tradeoff between the Sony Bloggie Duo and the Bloggie Upset is honestly austere: In chat for a front-facing LCD, you get a better body, a flashier-looking device, and a affront downgrade in performance. Record still looks fantastic, but you’ll notice the lack of autofocus, as well as the inferior still images. For $169.99, it’s still a very levelheaded pocket camcorder, and if you’re a record blogger or just really like shooting self-likeness videos and photos, the Bloggie Duo will serve you well. If one cover’s enough for you, even if, $10 more buys you a best package in the Bloggie Upset.
