The good: Rotating lens; 1080p, 720p, VGA video options; one-touch video uploading to YouTube, MySpace, and Facebook; removable lithium ion rechargeable battery.
The bad: No Mac support for Picture Motion Browser software; no HDMI output; mono mic and no input for an external mic.
The bottom line: Sony gains ground against the minicamcorder competition with the Bloggie MHS-PM5, but its software and overall video quality keep it from moving ahead.
