    CNET Review

    April 22, 2009

    The Good: Attractive design; captures video at 720p and 1080p "HD" resolution; memory-card expansion slot; swiveling lens; component video cables; rechargeable lithium ion battery.

    The Bad: Price doesn't include an optional memory card (onboard memory is limited to 12MB for capturing video); rechargeable battery doesn't recharge via USB connector; no integrated USB connector; no protective carrying case included.

    The Bottom Line: The MHS-PM1 Webbie HD represents a step forward for Sony in the minicamcorder arena--but some quirks and only OK video quality prevent it from being compelling enough to best the competition.

    Review Summary: It doesn't quite knock the Flip Mino HD off its imaging perch, but Sony has managed to show us with the Mobile HD Snap Camera that good things do come in small packages

    Review Summary: Neat design is marred by mediocre quality and annoying foibles. It doesn't take the crown from the Flip Mino HD
