CES 2009: Sony Flips the Flip with the Webbie HD Cameras

There’s no way a big corporation like Sony would ever let someone smaller (comparatively speaking) like Pure Digital Technologies sell millions of their low-cost, YouTube-optimized Flip video camera. At CES 2009, Sony unveiled their new line of low-cost pocket camcorders designed to compete with the Flip. Cameras from the Webbie HD line like the Sony MSH-PM! and the Sony MHS-CM1 capture everyday events in either 5-megapixel still photos or high-definition video. And thanks to to the software embedded on it, you can upload new videos and photos in just mere minutes.

Both cameras are small, lightweight, and chic-looking, allowing you to take them with you wherever you go. The Sony MSH CM-1 has a slim design, a 2.5 LCD screen that swivels up to 2.70 degrees, and a 5x optical zoom. The ligher Sony MHS-PM1 has a flip-ver 4x. so you can see yourself while you take photos or shoot videos.
