    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.
