The recording ability doesn't work anymore and I've only had it for a week. It doesn't do anything when I hit record, but the regular pictures work fine.
Answer
Hi Christopher, and welcome to Yahoo!Answers:
Many flash-memory HD cameras won't let you start a new video recording unless a certain amount of free-memory is available (they also won't record video if a too-small SD card is inserted). Photos don't require the same large amounts of empty storage, so even though the SD card may not be completely full, you can still take stills but not video.
Off-load all your content onto a computer for safe storage, then use the camera's menu to erase some (or all) the video files (don't use your computer to do this!) and see if video recording is restored.
Otherwise, call or email Sony Support since your Bloggie is still in warranty.
hope this helps,

whats a good/mid range surfing (action sports) video camera?
jordy
preferrably below $1000 aus but up to $1500. it needs to have good zoom to get to the action thats possibly 50m+ away. fast fps and reasonable quality.
any ideas.
also if you have any knowledge of the topic whats some good vid cams for in-water shots (clearly need to be waterproof)?
thankyou
Answer
Waterproof cameras are not going to do what you want, nor have the quality, water proofing a camera is not difficult but can be expensive, you not only have to think about water , but also salt water, this is the kiss of death to electronic devices, and another thing sand, taking video on a beach where its going to be windy, if sand can get in it will.
You are better off getting a waterproof housing, they come in basically two flavours, the first being like a ziplock bag with a place for the lens at one end from about $120usd, the second is a hard casing, made from either plastic or metal, normally used for scuba diving from a few hundred to thousands. . if you are not going to be taking the camera scuba diving, (or to any great depth) then the ziplock bag will probably be good enough, but you are also going to have to attach a tripod to the camera, as there is no way in this world that you will be able to hold the camera steady enough.
So basicall you can use any camcorder and get a bag to fit it.
I would be looking at a flash drive camera, takes better video then HDD cameras, (not by a huge amount) ignore the digital zoom only look for optical zoom, the more zoom you use the more steady you have to be and a better tripod you will need. Battery life is better.
I would assume that audio will not be important to you, as beaches will give a huge amount of wind noise, making the audio unuseable, if it is important then an external mic would be help ful with a wind cover, over it, but you may have problems fitting it with a case.
As for makes and models, the main ones are best Canon, Sony, JVC, maybe talk to others who do the same thing, and see what they use,
