For most Nigerian Bloggers, blogging is a hobby. Those who call it business hardly put in the necessary efizzy that makes blogging an aesthetic art of disseminating news.

Many depend solely on text while a few only combine text and pictures. But serious bloggers in developed world use video and live streaming of events to communicate and entertain.

However, they also are within reach of powerful tools and technologies that aid this art and that seems the edge.

Interestingly, the rate at which smart devices are becoming unavoidable daily need of both the rich and poor, pushing the borders between the developed and the developing, just anybody who wishes could as well add a touch of class to his posts no matter where he is.

Now with your smart phone, just almost anything is possible and with the latest HD camera introduced by gadget makers, Logitech, bloggers worldwide are in for a good time.

The new HD camera is specifically geared towards bloggers. It is also designed to work with Apple products only. It integrates with a Mac’s existing webcam to bring more professional quality to live streamers and video bloggers.

The camera also works with iPhone and iPad for controlling and previewing videos. This is designed to make it easier to take the wireless camera around the room, record and stream more dynamic content to viewers.

Although built-in webcams are good for some jobs, a lightweight, portable camera can create much more diverse content and can help take videos to another level.

Switching between the built-in camera and Logitech’s Wi-Fi camera is done with a single button press. This makes it quick and easy to switch back and forth even during live broadcasts. It is capable of recording in 720p, which should further add to the professional feel of videos created with the webcam.

The Logitech Broadcaster Wi-Fi Webcam integrates with popular Mac apps for editing and recording. A user can use QuickTime or Photo Booth to record, and iMovie or Final Cut Pro for editing the finished product. It also aids video chat with Skype, FaceTime , and iChat.

Logitech says the new camera will hit the market later this month in Europe and US markets for US$199.
