Sony 4GB Bloggie Touch 4GB Bloggie Touch digital camera

Get in touch with your creative side

Sony's Bloggie Touch has everything you want and nothing you don't. It's miniscule (but not so small you'll lose track of it) with loads of space (4GB) and makes the most of both video (MP4) and still image photography (12.8 megapixels, to be exact) with the help of the 1/2.5 Exmor CMOS sensor. So whether you're into making movies or just capturing the current moment, the Bloggie will you the best shot. But we're just warming up here.

Putting a new spin on Face time

If you're obsessed with social media, you'll be obsessed with Sony's Bloggie. It comes with Bloggie v.1.0 software that puts blog effects at your fingertips. You can easily tag videos and images when you're on the run and queue them for upload to your favorite social media site, such as Facebook or YouTube, the next time you sync up — which, by the way, is super easy thanks to the internal, flip-out USB drive. Plus, advanced Sony features like SteadyShot image stabilization, Auto Macro focus mode, and Face Detection ensure you get the best shot the first time around. And, best of all, the graphic user interface doesn't require a PhD in engineering to operate it.

Go big

Okay, 4 gigs sounds big, but what exactly does it equate to? Well, the Bloggie will hold 40 minutes worth of Full HD (12M) video, 80 minutes worth of 6M (1280 x 720) video, and 120 minutes worth of 4M (1280 x 720) video. If still photos are your bag, you can squeeze a good 290 images onto the internal flash memory. (A little fuzzy on flash drives? Flash is fast and durable — need more be said?)

Get full coverage

We know there's nothing worse than trying to navigate a small device with a small screen. Luckily, the Sony Bloggie Touch has an ample 3.0" Touch Screen LCD that provides 100% coverage for playback and is self-orienting. So, (a) you get a full-screen preview of your socially engineered masterpiece, (b) you don't have to bother yourself with up, down, or sideways, and (c) you have a palette that won't crowd your fingertip — even those of you who fall in the ET end of the spectrum.
