The Sony MHS-CM1 camera sports a slim horizontal design that fits naturally in your palm with a large 2.5-inch (measured diagonally) LCD screen that swivels up to 270 degrees. It also has 5X optical zoom to snap a detailed close-up of your subject. Five scene selection modes - such as low light, sports and landscape - help you capture the best picture possible in any situation.
Sony MHS-PM1 Webbie camera
The four-ounce Sony MHS-PM1 camera is lightweight and can be taken virtually everywhere - just stash the vertical chassis in a pocket or purse to catch that once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity. A rotating swivel lens with 4X digital zoom flips over so you can see yourself while shooting video and taking digital photos. Both Webbie cameras record directly to Memory Stick PRO Duo media (sold separately).
