Sony Bloggie Touch MHS-TS10 Product Specs
The Bloggie Touch MHS-TS10 ($179 MSRP) is Sony's newest ultracompact camcorder, and its name should give you a hint about its key feature—a 3-inch touchscreen LCD. The Bloggie Touch isn't simply an upgrade over last year's Bloggie camcorders from Sony (the MHS-PM5 and MHS-CM5), it's a completely different camcorder with unique features and a stylish design.
_Note: The Bloggie Touch is available in two models: a 4GB version (MHS-TS10) and an 8GB version (MHS-TS20). The MHS-TS20 is available in silver, black, blue, or pink. The MHS-TS10, which is shown throughout this review, is only available in black or silver._
