today we're gonna be doing a quick unboxing of the Sony Bloggie so the model this is is the MHS PM 5k 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 ok then we move around to the back and you can see all the different things that have support for so you can upload an email directly from the blog e 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 Mino HD 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 camera man's hood he's probably cringing while I do that but the first thing we find is a driver disk 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 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 for 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 it this allows us to take video in 360 degrees around the Bloggie 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 blog II then we have a USB extension cable oh ok in case there's no 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 blog 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 ok then we've got you we have a little like Shammi 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 ok 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 gonna learn today is how to put the battery into this thing rotate to power on and 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 our inputs and outputs so you just slide this little switch right here to get the USB port out you've also 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 up 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 Bloggie so here's either speaker or a microphone one of the two and then this says lithium ah 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 three 60 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 camera man's new car which we're actually going to use the blog II to do like a a video tour of very shortly here so we can either take pictures just by pressing that button well there's a bit of a shutter delay there see I press the button oh and I press 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 going to show you this video I'll do another one shortly anyway that is my quick unboxing of the Sony Bloggie 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 all those 720 720p 60 frames per second that's going to 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 camera around okay could initialize that format copy okay cool so that's pretty cool we're gonna do a quick tour of the Camerons car and then thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Sony Bloggie
