Olympus mju Tough-6000 review

Fri, 13 Mar 2009 17:16:02 +0000

The 10-megapixel mju Tough-6000 is a perfectly normal-looking, pocket-sized compact that just happens to be able to survive extraordinary amounts of abuse. Happily, its rugged nature doesn't detract from its photo quality or practicality either, making the 6000 extremely difficult to dislike

Nikon Coolpix S230 review

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 15:20:02 +0000

The 10-megapixel Coolpix S230 ultra-compact camera offers all of the point-and-shoot basics in a stylish package. It also has an intuitive touchscreen that helps it stand out from the crowd, while picture quality is generally good. It could be speedier, but the S230 is a decent snapper overall

Fujifilm FinePix J110w review

Thu, 05 Mar 2009 15:43:02 +0000

The FinePix J110w offers 10 megapixels, a 5x wideangle zoom and a metal body for a remarkably low price. It doesn't sacrifice style in the process either, boasting an elegant, minimalist design. It also takes good pictures, with crisp detail and strong colours, making for an impressive compact camera overall

Dell SP2309W review

Fri, 27 Feb 2009 16:27:01 +0000

The 23-inch SP2309W monitor offers excellent performance, a unique and intuitive on-screen display, good connectivity and a high 2,048x1,152-pixel resolution. It handles movies and games equally well and, although there is some backlight bleeding, it's a great monitor at an affordable price

Fujifilm FinePix J150w review

Thu, 26 Feb 2009 17:20:01 +0000

The 10-megapixel FinePix J150w may well be the perfect pocket-sized camera, combining smart styling with crisp, clear pictures, straightforward controls and a 5x wideangle zoom. It also represents excellent value for money. Casual snappers will be hard-pressed to find a better compact camera

Pentax Optio E60 review

Wed, 04 Feb 2009 15:26:01 +0000

The Optio E60 is a relatively inexpensive ultra-compact that produces good pictures for a camera in its class. It's also extremely easy to use, thanks to large controls and a reliable auto mode. Limited features, however, mean the E60 isn't one for those who like to experiment

Nikon Coolpix S60 review

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 17:36:02 +0000

With its sleek body and touchscreen (a current must-have feature), the 10-megapixel Nikon Coolpix S60 is a stylish, functional accessory that allows for extensive photo personalisation. For those looking for high performance, however, the search isn't over yet

JVC Everio GZ-MG730 review

Tue, 04 Nov 2008 17:47:02 +0000

JVC bucks the trend for standard-def camcorders to have low-res sensors with the Everio GZ-MG730, its top-of-the-line hybrid camcorder. Small enough to fit in your pocket, it manages to cram in a 30GB hard drive plus microSD card expansion and a 7-megapixel sensor

Oppo DV-980H review

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 15:22:02 +0000

First things first -- we love this DVD player for ignoring DVD region coding. But that isn't all it does: the Oppo DV-980H does just about everything else, too, including producing 1080p pictures. It may be expensive, but for what you're getting, it's great value and will be worth it for those who want to watch their DVDs in amazingly high quality

Apple iPod touch (2nd gen) review

Fri, 12 Sep 2008 11:54:01 +0000

Apple has given its second-generation iPod touch everything it's got. It's hard to imagine, but the design is even better and its features are responsive as ever -- all this despite a price cut. It's got podcast support, video playback, a Web browser, photo viewer and an email reader, to name a few
