Sony MHS-PM1 Moblie HD Snap Camera

Sony has already excited millions of its customers with its stunning products. Sony MHS-PM1 too comes with some attractive features. It is an easy-to-use mobile HD snap shoot camera that is capable to capture both still images and video clips. With a dimension of 23.5mm width, 103.3mm height and  55.3mm depth, this digital camcorder is light, compact and easy to carry. It fits into the pocket seamlessly. Sony MHS PM1 not only provides easy capture of shots, but also allows you to share the videos easily, to popular sites such as you tube, picasa web album and daily motion. This is possible because of the in-built PMB portable software in it. Another speciality of Sony MHS PM1 is the lens that swivels over 270 degree range. This enables you to capture shots from any angle.

Sony MHS PM1 employs a 5 mega pixels 1/ 2.5 inch CMOS sensor for high quality still photos. It shoots 1080HD video clips at a frame rate of 30fps. It has dedicated ‘photo’ and ‘movie’ shooting buttons. Five different scene selector modes are available in it to adjust the camcorder according to the various shooting conditions. The videos and the still images are recorded on to a memory stick pro duo. This aids in easy transfer of shots to PCs and most of the video card readers. Unfortunately, memory stick is not supplied with camcorder. Lack of optical zoom is a greatest disappointment in Sony MHS PM1 5MP Mobile HD Snap Camera. However, a digital zoom of 4X magnification is provided but this cannot tally the image quality given by an optical zoom shot. There is a shutter speed range of  1/ 30 to 1/ 4000 seconds in this digital camcorder. Another disappointment is that there is no exposure control which limits the precise capture of certain shots. White balance is also automatic and no pre-set is available.

The display of Sony MHS PM1 1.8” Mobile HD Snap Camera is LCD monitor with a size of 1.8 inches. The battery  sustains for a period of 100minutes. It is supplied with some accessories such as rechargeable battery pack, battery charger, A/V connecting cable, USB cable and CD-ROM. The stunning orange colour enclosure is an attraction in this. To sum up, this Sony MHS PM1 HD snap camera comes with some HD features at an affordable price.
