 Today we're going to be doing a quick unboxing of the Sony Bloggy. So the model this is is the MHS PM5K. I don't know what color it is yet, but the basic specs that you see right on the front are that it records in full HD 1080. Okay, then we move around to the back and you can see all the different things that have support for it. So you can upload and email directly from the Bloggy to Shutterfly, Picasa, YouTube, as well as Facebook. So you can easily share with your friends and family. You plug it into your PC using a built-in USB port. So it's kind of like the the flip min-0HD in that respect. You don't actually have to fuss around with any cables or anything like that. You just plug right in and it also includes a 360 video lens. So that means that you can take video in 360 degrees around the camera. And there's no way that I could go without testing that. It works on Mac. It works on PC. It supports SDHC, which is great. I'm glad Sony's finally supporting these standard memory cards rather than only memory stick, but it also does support memory stick. Okay, so the first thing we find in the box, you know what? I'm gonna go ahead and put this on the cameraman's hood. He's probably cringing while I do that. But the first thing we find is a driver disc. Then we have a quick little instruction paper that shows you how to take out the USB port. Then we have, for US customers, receive 15% off your next purchase of something. A limited warranty card, consumer one-year warranty terms. Then you've got an important notice. Well, if it is important, then surely we'll have to have a look. Don't disassemble your battery pack. Don't drop it in water. All that kind of important stuff. Thank you for drawing our attention to that. Mobile HD snap camera instruction manual. Here is the manual. And then, if your product is not working properly, do not return it to the store. Okay. Alright, so let's see what we find inside. First of all, this is probably the most exciting accessory in the box. This is the 360 degree lens. So this allows us to take video in 360 degrees around the bloggy. So yeah, obviously we will have to try that. Alright, that goes there for now. Then we have a composite video as well as audio output. So we can output directly from the bloggy. Then we have a USB extension cable. Oh, okay. In case there's... Oh, I see what this is for. So you can plug that into your computer in case there's not enough space, like if your ports are crowded. And then you can plug the bloggy into this end. Then we have... Oh, they include a memory stick. Wow, they include a 4 gig memory stick Pro Duo. That's nice. I mean, I remember the last time I bought a camera, it came with... I think it was like an 8 meg SD card or something stupid like that. Okay, then we've got... Oh, we have a little like chamois case for it. So you can either use that to wipe off your screen or you can potentially store it in it, although it doesn't really look big enough for that. Yeah, it's not big enough for that. Okay, I don't get the point of this, but it's there. And then we have a wrist strap down there. And last but not least, we have a battery. So let's get the battery out. Let's put the battery in. So I guess the first thing we're going to learn today is how to put the battery into this thing. So I'm going to rotate power on. Okay, I powered it on. I can't quite figure out the battery yet, but I'll get there. Don't worry. There's the USB as well as the audio and video out. So that's where we find all of our inputs and outputs. So you just slide this little switch right here to get the USB port out. You've also... Oh, you've got a little tripod mount. So just in case you wanted to take a little video on your little tripod, you could do that. So this is how you turn it on. You just rotate this right here. So the screen can come out this way, or it can come out the top, or it can come out that way. So if you actually, if you're mounting your 360-degree lens, it actually goes on just like this. Something like that. Yeah, there we go. So it just clips on like that. And then that's how you can take video all the way around the bloggy. So here's either a speaker or a microphone, one of the two. And then this says lithium... Ah, there's my battery. Nice. So the battery goes in here, just like that, secured in by a little blue tab. And then I'm gonna throw my memory stick in here as well, since they were kind enough to include one for me. Hopefully I'm putting that in the right way. And why don't we try and turn this baby on? So here, let's take off our 360-degree lens, and then see what happens if we turn it on. So... Is it on? Is this thing on? Cool. Okay, so we can actually see right now. We can take video of the cameraman's new car, which we're actually gonna use the bloggy to do like a video tour of very shortly here. So we can either take pictures just by pressing that button. Oh, there's a bit of a shutter delay there. See, I pressed the button. Oh, no, I pressed the button. There, and it takes a photo there. So you can kind of live with that. It's designed to be a video device. And then we are taking video at 720p, 30 frames per second right now. So I'm not actually gonna show you this video. I'll do another one shortly. Anyway, that is my quick unboxing of the Sony Bloggy. If you want to see any quick menu things, actually, why don't we do that really quickly? So here, let's have a look at our video options. So we can go up to 1080p, 30 frames per second. We can go all the way down to VGA 30 frames per second if we want to. Although 720p, 60 frames per second, that's gonna be probably your sweet spot, where you're gonna get nice, smooth video and good HD quality. And then for photos, you can either go all the way down to VGA, terrible, terrible quality photos, or you can go all the way up to 5 megapixels. You can turn face detection on and off, and that's pretty much it. There's not a whole lot of options here. Oh, here's all the options. Flicker reduction, LED backlight, language settings. Can you read this, cameraman? Okay, good. Initialize that, format, copy. Okay, cool. So that's pretty cool. We're gonna do a quick tour of the cameraman's car, and then thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Sony Bloggy.
