Remember the video cameras of yesteryear and how advanced they appeared? Now, of course, we know differently. They were enormous and unwieldy, with batteries that had very little juice and needed constant recharging. And the videotapes—don’t get us going about the videotapes! Talk about clunky, difficult to store and difficult to preserve in years going forward. But these video cameras sure beat the super 8 cameras of the 1970s (and earlier), and it was hard to imagine anything ever being more convenient.

Of course, now we know how wrong we were! Digital video recorders have exploded, both in terms of popularity and affordability, which have left the old-fashioned video cameras to collect dust in closets and at tag sales. Not to mention those old video tapes—with video recorders digital, now hours and hours of material can be saved forever in the tiniest of spaces.

And few digital video recorders can do it all, and at as low a price, as the Sony MHS-TS20/S Bloggie Touch! This Sony video recorder is perfect for camera-toting folks of all ages—from the teenager who is used to capturing everything on film and video to the proud parent or grandparent who wants a keepsake of a high school or college graduation.

Few digital video recorders can match the quality or storage abilities of the Sony MHS-TS20/S Bloggie Touch. The ample memory allows users to shoot plenty of video—and in the amazing-looking HD format—without worrying about running out of space. And all video is recorded in the MP4 format, which means all the footage can easily and seamlessly be uploaded to sites such as YouTube and Facebook.

But you don’t have to watch the videos on a small screen if you don’t want to—unlike many video recorders, the digital Sony MHS-TS20/S Bloggie Touch comes with a HDMI out, which allows you to watch the videos you have shot on your HDTV. What’s better than coming back from a big event and immediately watching the footage live and in living color?

In addition, the Sony MHS-TS20/S Bloggie Touch is perfect for capturing 12.8-megapixel still shots as well. Talk about the best of both worlds—you’ll be able to watch the entire program and frame the most unforgettable of the individual moments.

Other features of these digital video recorders include: a built-in Li-Ion rechargeable battery that assures you will never have to buy expensive and quick-to-drain batteries. These video recorders, with digital, crisp pictures, can shoot up to four uninterrupted hours of HD video, plus they feature a slim design and easy operation. They also sport face detection technology, which makes it even easier to pick out your friends and loved ones in a crowd! Wrist strap and instruction manual included, along with a one-year manufacturer’s warranty.

There are a lot of digital video recorders out there, but none can approach the value of the Sony MHS-TS20/S Bloggie Touch. Whether you have fond memories of the old video cameras, or are new to the world of video, you’ll wonder how you lived without this digital video recorder!
