If you see something, you will most likely have it on this device. 2. Convenient – It’s small and compact. You can easily fit this in your pocket. Also the software that comes with it makes it extremely easy to use which is stored on the camera itself. Plug it in your pc, use it like a flash drive and install it on your pc. Everything else is self explanatory. 3. Technologically Efficient – The capacitive touch screen is easy to use. No where as near as well thought out as the Iphone or Android, but it does work. It’s easy enough for my mother to use and plus while you are recording, you can snap pictures simultaneously. You can also load up anything easily to facebook or youtube through the included software. It also has a HDMI port to hook up to a High Definition Monitor. 4. Quality – It shows very well once I take the data off the Bloggie and add it to my pc. It does 720p x 30 fps, 720p x 60 fps, and 1080p x 30 fps. 30 fps shows extremely well and I have yet to try the 60 fps. Colors are great and the sharpness is good with some exceptions. Cons 1. Size of space – 4 GB is too small. Only 2 hours of data could run out and that is on the lowest setting. 1080p runs out much faster. Plus I don’t see a way to upgrade the size with a memory stick unfortunately. A 8gb might be better, but a way to upgrade with a memory stick would be the best solution. Nevertheless it is easy to add and remove on your pc. 2. Using Zoom and Dark Areas – If you use either, the picture looks a bit grainy. 3. No PC, No Buy – If you don’t have a PC, there is absolutely no reason to buy this. You can only charge this through the USB port of a PC (there are things you can buy to use a charger although nothing is included with the Bloogie), plus if you run out of space, you wont be able to back up the files on your pc. 4. The touchscreen – It isn’t as easy as Android or Iphone. No multitouch support and it’s not always as responsive as I like, but it is definitely usable. The pros definitely outweigh the cons. It’s a device worth having and I have never had so much fun using a camcorder. 24 of 29 people found the following review helpful. I thought when I opened the package, “Wow! This is gonna be great!” I bought it to take to the Rush Time Machine tour. What I didn’t realize was that the battery time is less than two hours, and that the video time is pretty bad as well. In addition, if you want a nice wide screen look to your videos, the microphone is placed exactly where your finger will want to rest when you hold it. Video Quality The video is shaky, lacking any stabilization control software, and anything that creates a decent amount of light or movement on the screen will cause it to fall out of focus. Getting it back into focus isn’t easy, and the only way I found to get it jumpstarted is to take a picture with it, which is going to shake the camera as you move your finger and press the button. Even taking a picture, however, is no guarantee that the camera will make its way back into focus, and you could end up like me during the sing Witch Hunt, panning the camera around trying to find something else for it to focus on so you can get in back into focus, touching the microphone in the process and generally ruining the whole thing. Motion blur is also a problem. On nearly every video I took, blur is evident as I pan the crowd. Even though I’m moving slowly, it’s noticeable and looks really really bad. Sound Quality The focus thing isn’t the biggest issue, however. The microphone holes (three in all), aren’t located in the front of the unit. They’re on the side. Exactly where your finger will want to rest should you decide to turn your Bloggie on it’s side so that you’ll get a nice widescreen version of whatever it is you happen to be watching. Whoever decided to do that needs to be beaten soundly with a stick. It’s a stupid thing to have done, and ruined nearly every video I managed to take at the concert. Even if you manage not to touch it with your finger, since it’s right on the side, it picks up the scratching sound of your finger and leaves little scratchy sounds in your video. The sound quality also gets really rough if you’re in a concert situation with a lot of distorted guitars and bass, or Rush, for example. Software The software is a little buggy, and it’s faster to just drag and drop the files into Windows Explorer. Doing it with the Bloggie software is slow, cumbersome, and if you’re using a little small netbook, you may not have the computing power to do it in a reasonable amount of time. Bear in mind also, that the Bloggie doesn’t charge unless it’s turned off, and that you can’t offload it’s visual cargo unless it’s turned on, so while you’re spending the 10-15 minutes it takes to offload all that video, you’re burning your precious battery time, which is short indeed. Want it back? Good luck. There’s no way to remove that battery, and charging it up to full takes about three hours. Comparisons I’ve seen video taken at Rush concerts with other cameras. The Flip being one of them. I don’t know why I didn’t buy that one. My whole experience may have turned out better. Kodak supposedly makes a smaller camera that is great for this sort of thing. Frankly I wish I had bought one of those rather than this. It’s a gorgeous little thing, all sleek and polished and brushed metal, but it just doesn’t live up to it’s good looks. 15 of 19 people found the following review helpful. |
