There’s no need to use the pre-loaded “Bloggie” software (intended to facilitate quick sharing of video via Facebook, Youtube, etc.) to offload the videos in Windows 7 the “import” function works just fine. (Owing to the small box size, the camera only comes with a “quick start” instruction card the full manual is available on Sony’s web site.) I was able to explore most of the functionality before I ever had to crack open the manual. It’s also fairly intuitive to use, with minimal buttons and menus. It’s teeny, about the size of a smart phone. YouTube was smart enough to recognize the H.264 3D format. Here’s an example of 3D video I shot on our approach to Cherokee, OK on 14 April. I tested it out on both 13 and 14 April 2012 chases. It also serves well as an HD dash cam, since it doesn’t weigh down my windshield suction cup mount.
This camera is not intended to replace my Canon Vixia HV30 I intend to use it primarily to shoot 3D video of tornadoes for novelty. I’ve been intrigued both by the idea of “HD in my pocket” and by the recent resurgence in 3D films. Can this little gadget shoot quality 3D storm video?As a reward for submitting a long-overdue manuscript, I recently bought myself a toy: A Sony MHS-FS3 3D Bloggie HD pocket camcorder.
