Sony MHS-CM5

Flip UltraHD ComparisonNext: Page 21
Photo GalleryConclusion
Unfortunately, we still can’t find many compelling reasons to choose the Bloggie over the competition. The Flip is still easier to use and produces comparable—if not superior—video quality.
Just about the only advantage the Bloggie has over the Flip series is the ability to take still photos and the presence of a digital image stabilization system. Both of these features are present on other models, including the excellent Sanyo VPC-CG10, which far outstrips the Bloggie in terms of still photo features and performance. If you’re a Sony devotee, the Bloggie will be a welcome upgrade over the Webbie, but we encourage consumers to look elsewhere for their ultracompact camcorder purchases.
