Sony Releases New Bloggie Camcorders With Touchscreens: the MHS-TS20 and MHS-TS10
Sony added two more members to its line of ultracompact Bloggie camcorders with the release of the MHS-TS20 and MHS-TS10. The new Bloggies have the surname "Touch" because of the addition of a 3-inch touchscreen, which is the primary new feature on these models. In addition to the new touch-sensitive LCDs, the new Bloggies offer Full HD 1080p HD recording, built-in USB connectors, HDMI outputs, and 12.8-megapixel CMOS sensors. You can expect to see the Bloggie Touch models hitting the shelves in October of this year.

Both a headphone and microphone jack are included.
The hard drive gives you a bit more to hold on to; the hand strap is adequately comfortable.
The mode dial allows you to switch between the dedicated still mode, video mode, and still/video playback mode.
The mode dial, record button, and battery are joined by a viewfinder.
The battery will last a decent amount of time.
Unfortunately, the DC power input is still crammed behind the battery.

The built-in 5.1-channel microphone is sometimes scuffed by stray pinky fingers, but it is better than the placement on the SD20.
The HDC-HS300 sports a standard zoom toggle, but you can also control zoom with the manual control lens ring.
The bottom is home to a battery release switch and tripod mount.
