Sony’s new Bloggie pocket camcorder is now out, but will its 270° swivel lens and horizontal playback mode be enough to make it stand out from the crowd?

Available in blue, pink, white or black, the Bloggie films in FullHD and records to Memory Stick Pro Duo. On paper, it all looks quite promising.

Look closer though, and you might find yourself asking a few questions … Are there better FullHD pocket camcorders on the market? Is it really that practical to film with a swivel lens? What’s that weird black thing that attaches to the lens? Is it compatible with SD cards too? Find out all this and more in our product test.
