Sony's MHS-CM1 Webbie HD is a nice compact camcorder for anyone who enjoys capturing movies or photos and uploading them to video-sharing websites like YouTube. This web-friendly cam records high-quality MPEG-4 footage and 5-megapixel still images, and stores them on optional Memory Stick® PRO Duo cards. MPEG-4 is a very popular and flexible video format that compresses your movies for easy posting on most video-sharing sites.
Easy recording features Separate "Movie" and "Still" buttons let you easily select what you want to record, or you can switch to the dual capture mode to take photos while you're shooting video. The MHS-CM1 also features a built-in stereo mic, and an LED video light that keeps you filming even in dark environments. You can power on the cam simply by opening the LCD screen, which swivels 270° for easy shooting at any angle. And this camcorder weighs only 7 oz., so you can take it with you just about anywhere.
