Camcorder Comparison: Flip Video vs. Sony Bloggie

This is a quick comparison of the Flip Video with the Sony Bloggie. This blogger purchased a Sony Bloggie this Summer 2010 and ended up returning it the next day. The Sony Bloggie's rotating head lens was such that it was difficult to keep exact focus on video subjects.

More to the point of how this video blogger creates videos, the Sony Bloggie's rotating head makes my method of "eye-level" vlogging hard to implement. On top of that, my slightly damp hand was enough to produce what felt like a small electric current, making the camcorder hard to hold.

Where that came from is not known; the Bloggie was taken back to the Sears in Oakland, California that Sunday.

On the matter of Sears in Oakland, that department store carried the Flip Video on its shelves, but for some reason stopped doing so. The camcorder they featured was The Sony Bloggie.

Unless and until Sony gets rid of the rotating head, forget purchasing the Sony Bloggie. The Flip Video camcorder series is easier to use and more reliable. The Flip Video is this video-blogger's camcorder of choice.   That's true for CNN as well:
