Here are the features:

Slim, compact MHS-PM5/PM5K and MHS-CM5 capture 1920×1080
Full HD MP4 video clips and 5 megapixel still photos

270° swivel lens for perfect self portraits (PM5/PM5K only)
Embedded PMB Portable software and built-in USB connector for quick, easy web uploads via PC and Macintosh
Shoot and view amazing 360 Videos (MHS-PM5K only)

The PM5/PM5K and CM5 can record both super-smooth 1280×720/60p video and high resolution Full HD 1920×1080/30p clips. On-board SteadyShot image stabilisation* cuts camera shake when you’re shooting handheld, and Face Detection fine-tunes camera settings for clear, captivating portraits.
