Sony launches Net-sharing CAM

User generated content on the Internet has proved to be extremely popular, and Sony jumps onto the bandwagon with the pocket-friendly Net-sharing CAM that targets social networkers and video bloggers who make video upload a daily affair. Weighing just 5 ounces and measuring 1.2″ x 4″ x 2.25″, the Net-sharing CAM not only captures Web-friendly videos (MPEG 4 format), it can also shoot 5 megapixel stills which are more than decent enough for print. Video footage is stored on a Memory Stick PRO Duo card and comes pre-loaded with PMB Portable software. Additional features include built-in flash, 4x digital zoom, a 2.4″ color LCD display, and a rechargeable li-ion battery that lasts up to 90 minutes on a single charge. The Net-sharing CAM will retail for $200 a pop when it is available on July 19 (online pre-orders). Expect to see more of similar devices from various manufacturers as they attempt to cash in on the user generated content craze that looks set to stay for a long time.
