Photos: Hands-on with the Fujifilm FinePix F60fd

Crave That's pretty high for a compact camera. The Fujifilm FinePix F60fd hit Crave hard this week, all 12 megapixels of it. Resolution this enormous may be the figure used by the marketing chaps to convince you which camera is the bestest, but without a...

Photos: Pioneer Kuro KRP-500 and KRP-600 aren't KRP at all

Crave Here's the media receiver, bathed in the slightly overwhelming light from a flash on a compact camera. The PDP-LX6090 and the LX5090 have the most stunning blacks we've ever seen, as well as a generally amazing picture that wows the pants off...

Photos: Hands-on with the HTC Touch Pro Qwerty slider

Crave In fact, next to its predecessor the TyTN II, it looks more compact. It's fair to say we weren't exactly overwhelmed by the HTC Touch Diamond -- it looks good, but it just doesn't deliver the smooth smart phone goods we loved on other HTC handsets.

Crave So imagine our surprise when we learnt that Hyundai is planning to launch a range of compact cameras in the UK next month. With Photokina just around the corner, there wasn't a huge amount going on camera-wise at IFA.

Photos: HD Hands-on with the Sony Cyber-shot T500

Crave If Sony keeps turning out cameras in its T series, we're happy to keep making Terminator-related jokes at every opportunity. But we'll refrain with the new Cyber-shot T500, because we're holed up at consumer electronics enormoshow IFA, and that...

Nikon D90: Video thrilled the dSLR

Crave Ideas are flying about all over the shop, with consumer-friendly features such as live view and face detection appearing in compact cameras first and then trickling up into dSLR territory. We knew where we were in the old days.

HTC S740: Good smart phones can come in small packages

Crave On the front of the S740 there's a standard keypad for dialling and the odd quick text, which alongside the powerhouse of features makes this a relatively compact phone. When HTC first ventured into the realm of smart phones that looked like normal...

Photos: Samsung i8510 8-megapixel camera phone

Crave The i8510's brilliant camera lets offers a variety of different modes that wouldn't look out of place on a decent compact camera, including slow motion video and a panoramic mode (pictured) that's one of the best we've used yet.

JVC NX-BD3: Blu-ray player with 2.1 speaker system

Crave Although this is only a 2.1 system, featuring two compact stereo speakers and a chunky subwoofer, JVC has developed some technology that should create a virtual surround-sound system. It's taken JVC quite some time to hit us with a Blu-ray player...

Nikon Coolpix S610, S610c, S560, S710 and S60: S Club party

Crave Like the S52c before it, the S610c is basically the same as its c-less namesake but is the first compact camera compliant with Wi-Fi Protected Setup, or WPS. The Nikon Coolpix S710 is a top-whack compact, boasting a humungous 14.5 effective...

Sharp Aquos LC-32XL8E: Slimline 32-inch 1080p LCD

Crave Here at Crave we often get asked about 1080p 32-inch LCD televisions and our stock response is that at such small sizes the benefits of a high-resolution screen are small. You might as well save your money and get a 720p TV.

Photos: Sony Ericsson W595 Walkman hands-on

Crave This compact stlying is even more apparent from the side. Beside Nokia's N95, the W595 is obviously smaller and more compact. We first discussed it last month when the sheets covering it were first pulled off, but now we've got a prototype model in...
