| Bottom line | Sony's Bloggie Duo minicamcorder makes it easier to be part of your own movie clips and photos. But that's about all it does. | The Kodak Playsport is an excellent minicamcorder that can take some rough treatment and capture solid HD video. | Typical for their price class, the no-frills Sony Handycam HDR-CX130, CX160, and XR160 produce generally subpar HD video, but if you're not picky you'll probably be fine. The CX130 is the best buy of the three, as long as you go cheap on the memory card. | As rugged minicamcorders go, the Panasonic HM-TA20 is very good
and definitely deserves consideration. | The Sony Bloggie Live HD lets you wirelessly live stream all your life events with the ease of a shoot-and-share camcorder. But, not without a few caveats. |
