It offers up to 1080p HD video, electronic image stabilization, and a 2.0-inch color display, but audio quality underwater and battery stamina can be limiting if you expect a more premium camera experience.
The Sony Bloggie Sport (MHSTS22/B) is a rugged, waterproof pocket camcorder built for casual action and underwater fun, with 1080p video, face detection, and a 2.7-inch touchscreen that stays usable underwater.
