The good: The Sony Bloggie Live HD lets you live stream video over Wi-Fi as well as capture full HD video. It's also very easy to use.
The bad: The Live HD's Wi-Fi radio can be a bit flaky, its autofocus is slow, memory isn't expandable, and the battery isn't replaceable.
The bottom line: The Sony Bloggie Live HD lets you wirelessly live stream all your life events with the ease of a shoot-and-share camcorder. But, not without a few caveats.

Pros: An excellent replacement for my old Sony camcorder. From power on to recording is less than 2 secs. Colors vivid, max HD makes for awesome vids. Plug it into your Sony laptop and they are instant friends. USB file transfer to computer is super fast.
Cons: Doesn't do well in low light. Image stabilization doesn't. Button placement drives me crazy. Noisy autofocus.
Summary: Sony has discontinued this recently. Phones have just gotten too good. As I don't use my phone much and its really old, this is perfect for me to make ...

Summary: Sony has discontinued this recently. Phones have just gotten too good. As I don't use my phone much and its really old, this is perfect for me to make You Tube vids. Not worth $200, but Staples has then on clearance so get them while you can!
