Digital camera reviews of Sony Webbie MHS-CM1 HD Camcorder (Orange)

Digital camera Review: 5 advantages, 5 disadvantages.
Summary: 4 Stars

If you are looking for something cheap for recording home videos this is an excellent option.

Good
1) Price! For an HD cam is an excellent price
2) You can use it as a webcam... The image is awesome when using messenger and/or Skype
3) The size is really comfortable... You can carry it in almost anywhere
4) It turns on and off automatically. (It saves a lot of time)
5) The fact that it uses memory sticks instead of DVDs or built-in hard disks is a great

Bad

1) This camera was design for Video, so the pictures are not very good:
This camera is great for HD recording, but for taking pictures is really poor. As it does not have any flash, indoor pictures don't look very well, and the person practically has to freeze in order to take the picture. People running or moving will look like Casper (hehehe)

2) Built-in Light:
The built-in light is not very helpful, actually it is useful only when it is really dark and you are recording something that is extremely close to you. Otherwise, it is useless.

3) Automatic zoom and focusing
For an amateur this is an excellent feature, and I think it is, but sometimes it takes to much time for focusing accurately, and something it does not focus at all.

4) The microphone
The mic is not the big deal, too much noise provokes a weird distortion. It is like if the microphone collapses.

5) Avoid moving when recording
As it takes too much time for focusing when you are recording you have to avoid moving as much as possible. Otherwise, it will look blurry.
