Hands on with the Ricoh R8: Putting the R8 in gr8?
Crave The R7's nippy joystick has been squashed and flattened -- like a cartoon character having an anvil dropped on their head -- to make a more thumb-friendly control. The thumb control gives you one-touch access to exposure compensation, white balance...

Panasonic SDR-SW20 review
Reviews This makes it easier to hold the camera with a different grip: the standard thumb-at-the-back grip or a thumb-at-the-front grip. Anyone who's ever dropped their mobile phone in their pint will appreciate waterproofing.

Aiptek AHD200 review
Reviews At the back of the camcorder, the right thumb operates mode and menu buttons, a still shutter release, and a small joystick. The thumb-level joystick is flexible enough to be fun to use, although zooming is brisk and takes practise for sensitive...

RIM BlackBerry Curve 8300 review
Reviews It hits a sweet spot where it's slim enough to slide snugly into one hand, and yet wide enough to support a full Qwerty thumb-board where each letter gets its own key. Above the thumb-board is another nice surprise: a colourful 320x240-pixel...

Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd review
Reviews DesignWith its well-sculpted, rubberised grip and another nicely contoured and rubberised area for your thumb, the S8000fd is more comfortable to hold than some megazooms. However, the F button, which leads you to the FinePix menu that lets you...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4 review
Reviews There's plenty of grip for the right hand, including a textured space for the fingers and an indent at the back that's uncannily well-fitted to our large right thumb -- your thumb-fit may vary. It may have the looks of a compact camera, but the 8...

T-Mobile MDA III review
Reviews The MDA III's solution is to hide a thumb keyboard beneath the fascia; when key entry is needed, you simply slide the fascia upwards, extending the depth of the device by about 45mm. Of course, a thumb keyboard is no match for a proper add-on...

Crave But even with our big hands it fits snugly into the palm, and includes a second record button should you wish to grip it thumb-forward than thumb at the back. Christmas 1989. This Craver had been good all year, and all we wanted was Batman for the...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10 review
Reviews However, it does have a nice shape, with a cutaway for your middle finger and a contoured area on the top of the camera back for your thumb that combine to provide a solid feel in your hand. The vast majority of buttons are on the right-hand side...

Panasonic SDR-H250 review
Reviews Key controls fall under your right thumb and index finger. As usual with Panasonic, this chunky grey cube looks ugly and constantly gets in the way of your thumb. Tape and DVD camcorders are succumbing to the combined onslaught of solid state and...

Ricoh R8 review
Reviews The R8 is primarily controlled with a thumb-friendly flattened joystick that makes navigating the simple tabbed menus a breeze We found this flatter control was very thumb-friendly, although the grippy raised dots did get irritating after extended...
