From the Manufacturer
Sony is responding to the rise of user-generated content on the Internet with its new, pocket-sized Net-sharing CAM, designed for social networkers and video bloggers who frequently upload video and images to the web.

With more than 230 million videos viewed online and more than 150,000 uploaded daily, video sharing is fast becoming as popular as photo sharing.

Sony's Net-sharing CAM seamlessly uploads short video clips to the web, and snaps print-quality, 5-megapixel digital still photos. Weighing just about five ounces, the model has ultra-portable dimensions (1 3/16 by 4 1/8 by 2 1/4 inches, W x H x D).It can record about five hours of web-ready video footage on a Memory Stick PRO Duo media card, when recording with the default settings on a 2GB media card.

Ready to Shoot and Share
The device shoots video in the "web-ready" MPEG-4 recording format, with selectable picture qualities ranging from QVGA/15 frames per second to VGA/30 frames per second, which can be viewed on televisions. It sports a distinctive "sharemark" button so users can easily "tag" or select video and photos they want to upload.

The Net-sharing CAM is pre-loaded with PMB Portable software. This user-friendly application automatically runs when the device is connected to a compatible PC via the supplied USB cable, and will recognize "tagged" videos and photos. Because the unit pre-formats videos for popular web-sharing sites, it is easy to access them and post videos, without having to down-convert or manipulate the footage beforehand.

For the ultimate in ease of upload, the PMB Portable pre-loaded software has pre-programmed menu buttons for direct publishing to web sharing sites, such as Crackle. The built-in software can also be programmed for web sites of your choice or even your own personal blog or "vlog."

Picture Motion Browser software is also supplied for those who would prefer an extended version of the application to run directly from a personal computer. Additionally, this version makes it possible to quickly edit and store footage based on preferences. Bundled driver software is also included so the device can double as a live web cam.

Designed to be sleek and intuitive, the Net-sharing CAM sports separate buttons for movies and photos, eliminating the need to select specific modes before shooting. It has a built-in flash, 4x digital zoom, and a 2.4-inch color LCD screen. Powered with rechargeable Lithium-ion technology, the model has a battery life of about 90 minutes (depending on recording conditions).

Customer Reviews

so so
the shipping was too late.

the camera works nice, but I think that to use this as a cam is not possible.

I GOT THIS IT IS VERY NICE
i got this camera a year ago and its still working to this day i use it almost everyday.... one thing i love abot this is that it uses a memory stick for its memory and if u have a psp u can just put the memory stick in there and view ur videos or pics without downloading anything... the handstrap that comes with the camera is also very usefull its comfortable and doesnt feel cheap... as for the camera itself its nice small easy to navigate and its incredibly small for a videocamera and the battery lasts for a long time. the video quality is not the best.... and its not the cheapest its DECENT its gud enough, lets say that

now the only downsides are....

recording at night, does not work all that well in low lighted areas..... u cant get an extra battery for it... the battery indicator sometimes isnt very accurate but that really isnt a problem unless u are going to use ur camera for long period of time wiht out charging

overall the camera is GREAT for the price i got mine which was $100(but did not get it on amazon) dont spend over 200 on this camera...... :)

Convenient but low video quality
This is a convenient camcorder with its size the ease of use, though need a little time to figure out how selection button works. The video quality is not good, but uploading to Youtube is fun and easy. Overall, I like it, except the blurry video quality.
