The Bloggie Touch isn’t the first touchscreen pocketcam, but they got it right by using a capacitive display—the type that responds to the lightest of touches. That means that the Bloggie Touch has just three buttons: power, record and photo for recording still images. Browsing through movies and images, deleting items and selecting items to share is all done contextually on-screen.

Sony has also upgraded the video quality, using its XMOR sensor, which works well in low light, and a fast wide-angle lens. The Bloggie Touch can focus at just four inches from an object, a lot closer that most pocketcams, and has a 4x digital zoom.

The Bloggie Touch will record Full HD movies (1080p) and also take 12.8 MP photos.

Two models will be available in October. The MHS-TS20 ($199), which has 8GB of memory (4 hours of video storage) and the MHS-TS10 ($179), which has 4GB of memory.
