    I have this and this has AMAZING outside footage better then most Handycam cameras that are under 500 dollars. Outside there is no issues with focusing, no color issues, no grain or anything. The no flash is not a problem. Yet my issues with this is that the I cannot put it on my tripod horizontal, but I can always build a rig but it will be time consumer and take time away form filming for my movies, my other big issue is it in low light. I never shoot in low light but in low light the footage is pretty good but very, very grainy. But why waste your money on a Sony Handycam! This has 1920 by 1080 12 megapixels for under 200! If your a person who just wants to record family moments are easily share them this is PERFECT. If you are a home movie maker but do go all out in editing this is GOOD. If your are like me and go into Adobe prudcuts and add special effects then this is pretty good. I give it a solid 4/4

    This cam/corder travels small and light and takes spectacular images in adequate light. As an owner of some larger prosumer digital cameras (including a Sony HD 240GB camcorder) I have found the cameras controls to be rather quirky--the whole icon typically does not activate the function--you have to catch the very top edge of the icon to activate the function. This means that I spend a lot of times tapping the glass multiple times to try and get a function to work.

    No flash - - how disappointing (and misleading)

    By LAD1

    from Rockville, MD

    Comments about Sony 4GB Silver Bloggie High Definition Touch Camera:

    How disappointed I was to find that this camera does not have an internal flash or lighting in dim or dark lighting areas. I actually thought I was doing something wrong - - surely there is an internal flash on this "wonderful" camera. I am so disappointed and sad as I really wanted to take my Bloggie with me wherever and use whenever I could. Oh well, on to a better product.

    Comments about Sony 4GB Silver Bloggie High Definition Touch Camera:

    This camcorder is very good, but on the downside i cannot find a fish eye lens or any other type of lens on the Sony store, or on the internet explorer, so please respond to this review, thanks.

    Awesome camera!

    By purplenoodle99

    from Boston, MA

    Comments about Sony 4GB Silver Bloggie High Definition Touch Camera:

    It's an amazing camera! I know they have been coming up with newer models but I always thought this was one of their best pocket camcorders, because the new ones have really sensitive microphones so its scratchy when you move it around, even if it does have a built in light (you could always use a flashlight, too) This takes awesome quality pictures, it's just about as good as a sony digital camera! It has awesome macro mode, and even though sometimes the auto focus is off and kind of hard (takes a while) to focus in dim lighting, it's not that big of a deal because it focuses in a few seconds. The colors are a bit off in low light conditions, but I usually film in a bright place or outside. This is way much better than my flip camera, and is better than the samsung hmx w200 camera I previously had which broke after being underwater for 10 minutes (its "waterproof") I have a picture, it is amazing photo quality, and if it isn't on here, it actually was pretty amazing! Good job on this one!

    Comments about Sony 4GB Silver Bloggie High Definition Touch Camera:

    I use it with my Macintosh. Mostly use it outdoors, so lack of flash is not a great problem for me. I can put it in my pocket. My other 12 Mp camera has to have a case and shoulder strap. A pain. No problems using with iMovie or iPhoto. Very Happy!

    Poor software

    By dragonfly

    from Undisclosed

    Comments about Sony 4GB Silver Bloggie High Definition Touch Camera:

    I got this recently as a gift. It's great for videos and takes decent pictures; however, the software is absolutely HORRIBLE. I really hope Sony improves it soon. The software does not allow for ease of editing and it is not at all intuitive. If Sony would improve the software I would rate this product much higher.

    Fantastic Camera!

    By dandj

    from Undisclosed

    Comments about Sony 4GB Silver Bloggie High Definition Touch Camera:

    This camera, despite other reviews is great for someone who wants to take great quality 12 megapixel photos and hd video on vacations and with their friends and family. It doesn't have flash though, but look into the Bloggie Live if you want that. I took great pictures and video and good closeups too. I also bought an amazing tripod for it that works great. The camera turns on super fast, and the touchscreen is very good, but you must press a little more than you would with a high quality touch screen phone. Remember, it does not have a million features but it's a great camera. You don't even need a wire to plug it into a laptop! The USB swings out of the camera. But sadly, there is no wire to plug not your wall included. The battery does not last the longest, but can last half a day easily.

    Don't Buy It

    By JERP

    from St. Louis, MO

    Comments about Sony 4GB Silver Bloggie High Definition Touch Camera:

    The whole point of buying this camera is to share the videos with friends and family members. I have had the camera for 2 months and have yet to be able to upload a video and email it to anyone. Everytime I try to email a video the Bloggie software states there "is not enough space". I have a new laptop so I know there is more than enough space. The picture is not that good either. All of the videos are a narrow picture. It's a very disappointing purchase and has no real function. What is the point of taking a quick video if you are unable to share it with anyone. My niece has the same camera and her Bloggie does not allow her to upload any videos either. I do not take lengthy videos either, maybe 3 minutes. I replaced my Flip Video with this product and have gone back to using my hand-held video recorder. This product is terrible. I have never written a review on any product but this one has upset me to the extent of doing so.

    buyer beware

    By failure4

    from los gatos, california

    Comments about Sony 4GB Silver Bloggie High Definition Touch Camera:

    the camera works well enough. after my first batch of videos, I tried to burn them onto a DVD to let our family watch. THE VIDEOS ARE IN MP4 FORMAT AND CANNOT BE BURNED ONTO DVD WITHOUT FIRST CONVERTING THEM. I tried to find out how to do this through customer support. they were no help at all. after speaking to 2 representatives over and hour I gave up. this camera is meant for sharing on line and youtube. if you want to buy a camera to burn dvd's to watch at home, this camera is useless.

    Bloggie Burn

    By Poohbear1

    from Winchester, VA

    Comments about Sony 4GB Silver Bloggie High Definition Touch Camera:

    I had no idea there was no flash with this product. I was shocked when I found out! Why would you sell a camera with no flash? That is just rediculous! I purchased the Sony Bloggie Touch from Dell for my daughter for Christmas. Three weeks afrter Christmas I asked her why she was not using her Bloggie. She said it was because she could not get it to take good pictures, that the colors were all messed up. Well, one thing led to another and we figured out it was because there is no flash and all the pics she was taking were indoors. Imagine that...a 14 year old girl taking pics indoors in the winter...again why wouldn't there be a flash?! It is past Dell's return period so they will not take it back. I called Sony. They really do not care. Their whole attitude was "you are stuck with it." Even though I pointed out that IT DOES NOT SAY ANYWHERE THERE IS NO FLASH ON THIS PRODUCT Sony will not be responsible for nondisclosure. I never would have bought a camera without a flash for a 14 year old girl...or even myself. They say it is my issue because it does not say anywhere that it DOES come with a flash. Again...why wouldn't you put a flash on a camera? Well Sony...Real nice customer service and consumer support!!!
