Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 review

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:51:02 +0000

Part of a new breed of camera that aims to combine the image quality and features of a digital SLR with the convenience of a compact, the 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-GF1 is a tantalising proposition. It costs a packet, but its photos are excellent and its build quality is really something special

Sharp Aquos LE700 (LC46LE700E) review

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 16:11:01 +0000

The 46-inch, 1080p, LED-backlit Aquos LC46LE700E LCD TV offers plenty of features for the price and is capable of delivering some spectacular images. Its motion-handling capability could be better, but its black-level response is frequently excellent and its colours are exceptionally vivid

LG PS7000 (50PS7000) review

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 09:44:02 +0000

Aggressively priced for a 50-inch, 1080p plasma TV, the 50PS7000 nevertheless packs a powerful punch. It's tastefully designed, offers good connectivity and sports exemplary menus. Most importantly, its pictures are unusually aggressive for a plasma set, so its hi-def performance is frequently spectacular

The 14.6-megapixel K-7 is a great digital SLR. While Pentax's lens range isn't as good as that of rivals, and the camera lacks some finesse, it packs in plenty of genuinely useful features that its competitors just don't have. The depth and richness of its images are particularly striking, and it's built to last too

LG LH3000 (47LH3000) review

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 11:30:02 +0000

We weren't expecting much from the 47-inch, 1080p 47LH3000 LCD TV, since it bears a startlingly low price tag. But it confounded our expectations at every turn, offering striking pictures, excellent menus and an attractive design. This set is a real bargain

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ38 review

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 13:17:02 +0000

You might think the 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FZ38 superzoom would be exorbitantly expensive, given its 18x zoom, super-fast autofocus, support for raw files, and high-definition movie mode. But it's not. It's one of the best superzooms available, and one of the cheapest too
