MHS-PM1 3.2 5 24 25

Webbie Review Before I purchased the Sony Webbie MHS-PM1, I watched many reviews on it and they basically said the same thing, it is small, and it is (which is good for portability) but when I received it, I was disappointed to find that it had Major problems with audio and video quality. I tried it in my room at night. My light was on, and I started recording, when I played it back, I was shocked to hear a scratching noise, and darkness. I had to get the light one foot from my face to get fair lighting. I tried the same thing during the day, I got the same results. the scratching was due to shifting. I found the only way to stop it was to record on a tripod. Very inconvenient for moving filming. it wasn't a light scratch either, it was greater in volume than my voice. It is obviously NOT the best that Sony can bring. I hated the quality of my filming. The zoom is 4x digital and no optical. The HD is one of the only things I like about it. I prefer the Kodak Playsport, it retails for the same price and it has better zoom, better quality, no scratching, and its waterproof. March 5, 2011

Webbie cam video screening at Sundance Just a quick note to say that a filmmaker I am working with, Trevor Anderson, shot his short film using a Sony Webbie. His plan was to throw the camera off of The High Level Bridge (also the name of his film) in Edmonton, Alberta expecting it to break, but retrieve the data card of footage to work with. Instead of breaking in the 200ft drop onto ice flows, it not only didn't break but kept recording! Pretty impressive. His film will play the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and is available for 6 weeks after via the Sundance Youtube Screening Room starting January 20. You can visit his site www.dirtcityfilms.com for more info. January 14, 2011
