Sony Bloggie 3D MHS-FS3

 

Sony now lets you take 3D videos and stills on the cheap with a compact, easy-to-use MPEG-4 camera. Is it worth spending extra to enter the next dimension?

Compact, lightweight, simple to use ; 3D/2D stills and video ; 2.4-inch auto-stereoscopic LCD

Poor 3D quality ; Screen very dark in 3D ; For online sharing only

We feel the Sony Bloggie 3D MHS-FS3 compromises too much on quality and the 3D portion of the Bloggie 3D isn’t ready for prime time.

Sony MHS-FS3

 

If you want a pocket sized 3D camcorder, this is your only option to date

3D footage on a budget; Easy handling

Poor low light results; Subpar color performance

The Sony 3D Bloggie, otherwise known as the MHS-FS3, shows just how dedicated Sony is to making 3D video a part of your everyday life. The camera features two lenses to record 3D, creating a visual disparity that will display on most 3D-capable...

Sony Bloggie MHS-FS3Camcorder Review

 

The Sony MHS-FS3 is the first Bloggie with two lenses, offering both full HD capture and stereoscopic 3D video. The pocket-sized shooter offers a 2.4'' non-touchscreen LCD for control with a retractable USB arm and built-in software, making it an...

If grab-it-and-go 3D appeals to you then look no further than Sony's 3D Bloggie HD.

Not A Professional Device, but Fun and Cute!

 

I love my little Bloggie. It's a great carry around camera in addition to my Canon POS. I love the 3D feature and it works quite well with the rear screen. I did order some 3D glasses (the Bloggie should really come with these, Sony!!) but the...

If you prefer features over quality

 

This is CMOS, in no way to compete with CCD even in the cheaper point and shoot category. It may be better CMOS as Sony claims, but there will be grains at low light conditions. And you don't even have a flash light. In normal operating conditions and...

Consumer review by:

Neat 3D effect, but just so-so 2D image quality.

 

Sony has a lot of experience with digital cameras, so it surprises me that the picture quality on this camera is so mediocre. That may not be too much of an issue in 3D mode, since there are so few competing options for making your own 3D movies, but...

Consumer review by:

3D is neat, but video/image quality is on par with a camera phone.

 

It's a neat experience seeing friends and family members in 3D on your television. The build quality on the camera is good, and it feels solid and expensive in your hand. Unfortunately, the video quality is on par with my iPhone 4, and the stills...
