Liquid Image Ego (white) Review

The good: The Liquid Image Ego is very small and lightweight; simple to operate; has built-in Wi-Fi; uses a standard 1/4-20 tripod mount; and is shockproof to about 6 feet.

The bad: Limited shooting options; tiny on-camera controls and screen; 29-minute clip length limit; not waterproof; only one mount included; like many cameras, includes no storage; battery isn't removable; Wi-Fi connection lost while recording.

The bottom line: The egg-sized Liquid Image Ego wins on size and simplicity, but its features -- outside of built-in Wi-Fi -- are minimal.
