Panasonic TUCTH100: Bad name, nice box

Crave And when a giant like Panasonic joins the fray, you really know it's time to sit up and take notice. If you haven't got a Freeview hard drive recorder by now, what the heck are you doing? It's okay, we forgive you, but we've consistently given high...

Panasonic TX26LXD52: Stupid name, nice TV

Crave The Panasonic TX26LXD52 is another TV that has it all -- high-definition compatibility, an integrated Freeview tuner and the Viera colour management system tidying up the picture on-the-fly. We didn't expect Panasonic to meet our demands quite so...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18: Supermassivezoom

Crave Panasonic has announced its latest Lumix digital camera, the 8.1-megapixel DMC-FZ18. We're fairly sure Panasonic will see us coming, though. In a crazy mixed-up world where nothing much makes sense any more, least of all technology naming, what...

Photos: Panasonic Viera TH-42PZ81 Freesat plasma

Crave Ian MorrisUpdate: Read our full Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ81 review. You get three tuners in the Panasonic (although in reality the Freeview and analogue TV tuners are the same unit) so you can simply select the source you want to view.

Panasonic Viera TX-37LZD800: LCD TVs to thrill plasma lovers

Crave Not so long ago, Panasonic was telling us all that plasma was the future and we'd do well to remember that. As the most popular screen sizes these days hover around the 32- and 37-inch marks, this year Panasonic is putting more effort than ever...

Panasonic SDR-SW20 and SDR-S7: Holiday in camcordia

Crave Panasonic has given us the 32GB SDHC card, and clearly sees cheap and plentiful SD cards as the memory format of choice for casual camcorder users. There's also a one-touch button for transferring footage to DVD, but you do have to buy a Panasonic...

Panasonic DMR-EX77: Record and upscale Freeview

Crave One of our faves was the excellent Panasonic DMR-EX75, so we're overjoyed to see an upgrade: the EX77, which allows digital recording to either DVD or its built-in 160GB hard drive. Because Crave leads such an active social life (read: we can't...

Hands-on with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 superzoom

Crave Actually it was rubbish, not least because we didn't have cameras like the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18, with its monster 18x zoom. A zoom that size magnifies camera shake, so Panasonic has chucked in its Mega Optical Image Stabilizer.

Photos: Hands-on with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35

Crave Oh Panasonic, why are you so good to us? Panasonic's usual feature line-up is here, with intelligent auto mode doing all the thinking, mega OIS keeping things steady, alongside face detection and the usual assortment of scene modes.

Photos: The life aquatic with the Panasonic SDR-SW20

Crave Scientists say that there are more species still to be discovered beneath the sea than exist anywhere on Earth*, and if you want to get in on the Troy Tempest action and find yourself a Marina, you could do worse than start with the Panasonic SDR...

Hands-on with the Panasonic SDR-S7: A small gift

Crave Unboxing the Panasonic SDR-S7 camcorder is a similar experience. Footage is standard definition MPEG2 -- or DVD quality, as Panasonic puts it. Speaking of annoying, Panasonic has printed a warning in the screen well that the camcorder and SD card...

How small is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1? This small

Crave The strength of the Micro Four Thirds standard is the compact size of the models that will use it, but the product shots of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 didn't give us a true sense of the camera's size.

Ears-on with the pinktastic Panasonic RP-HTX7

Crave These hot pink new ladycans are from Panasonic, they're called the RP-HTX7s, and they'll cost you about £30 any time from now. Want to see some suspiciously decent headphones for £30? You'll have to be prepared to accept you'll look like a right...

Photos: Hands-on with the Panasonic HDC-SD5

Crave Say hola, bienvenue, wotcher to the Panasonic HDC-SD5. As on Panasonic's stills cameras, the SD5's Dicomar lens is designed by Leica. Panasonic has re-profiled the HDC-SD5's shape making it easier to hold.

Photos: The touchscreen Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500

Crave We would walk 500 miles for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500, and possibly even walk 500 more. The lens is aligned by Panasonic's proven Mega OIS system to defeat the blurry effects of camera shake. Rich TrenholmUpdate: Read our full Panasonic Lumix...
