Undoubtedly one of the best pocket camcorders we've seen. ... Concerns about the camera's necessity are compounded by the fact that neither the video nor stills offer a huge upgrade from the current generation of mobile devices.

The Sony Bloggie Live is an excellent pocket camcorder with groundbreaking wireless features, but it's a tough sell in the age of do-everything smartphones.

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.

The $249 Bloggie Live is an innovative camcorder that delivers on its promises. Though we would like the autofocus to work a little faster and the price to be lower, its responsive touch screen and easy uploading and streaming ... are worth it for people who want to share moments as they happen.

The Bloggie Live’s WiFi capability sets it apart from the other camcorders on the block.

If you’ve got a decent smartphone in your pocket, it’s hard to argue why you should spend $249 on Sony Bloggie Live, though we’re impressed that Sony managed to add live streaming and sharing options while retaining dead-simple operations.

Bloggie Live is a fun, if imperfect, camera that should appeal to video enthusiasts. But even with live streaming, I doubt the pocket camcorder category will flip back to its heyday.
