For those spur of the moment video clips, most of us are now well used to simply hoisting and pointing our camera phones at the activities taking place. That point hasn't been lost on electronics manufacturers who have of late been taking an "if you c...

Teenagers and the young at heart will love the convenience of the frill free PM1, and if they have to fork out for it themselves, the price. Grown ups meanwhile will want something a little better in terms of picture quality and smoother handling. Stil...

Sony comes a little late to the pocket-sized camcorder party. It’s following in the tracks of the Flip family, Kodak’s Zi8 and Creative’s Vado. The PM1 has a distinctive orange livery and a rotating lens that’ll ensure it gets noticed. HD movies are ca...
The rotating lens means its great for shooting at dramatic angles, and perfect for video bloggers looking to record direct to camera. Rotating the lens makes it possible to protect that precious lens from scratches – as it can be swivelled so that i...
Recording to Sony’s Memory Stick PRO Duo cards means you can’t use any SD cards you may have in other devices – and you’ll have to factor in the extra cost of buying more storage media. There’s no HDMI output so, unfortunatel...
The PM1 is a great looking gadget with plenty of fun features, plus a well-designed interface, which makes it easy to use. The video performance would benefit from tweaking though, and it’d be nice to see a few more connections/terminals added to it...

Note: pricing for this product is in US$.As you may have noticed, high-definition pocket camcorders are growing up fast. Pure Digital's popular Flip line of camcorders (which includes the standard-definition Flip Mino and the high-def Flip MinoHD) has scored well in the market, so it isn't surprising that the past year has seen big-name companies such as Kodak, Creative, and RCA entering the pocket-camcorder ring as well.And now we can add another big name to the mix. Sony recently announced...

But if the potential owner is a technophobe, the Flip is definitely the easier of the two devices to learn and get used to simply because there's very limited functionality. It's your choice whether you want to Flip or Snap, but you'd be in good hands with either device!...
Theyre both great choices, with each carrying its own advantages. If youre like me and already have enough cables to carry around, youll appreciate the Flips ability to connect right to a PC to both download content and recharge. But if youre pron...
