Kodak EasyShare M1063 review

Reviews The manufacturer logo welcome screen can't be turned off, as on many other compacts, so the M1063 isn't very quick to start up. It's extremely similar to the M1073, so we took it for a spin to see what distinguished the M1063 from its siblings, and...

JVC Everio GZ-MG330 review

Reviews PositivesJVC was the first company to produce a hard-disk-based camcorder, but it's hardly alone now, with every manufacturer and their grandmother seemingly going down the hard disk route. High definition may be grabbing all the headlines at the...

Klipsch Custom-2 sound-isolating earphones review

Reviews Interestingly, we found sound-isolating tips from competing manufacturer Shure fit the Custom-2 perfectly, and offered improved fit. We recently looked at the highest-end model in the Klipsch Custom series -- the Custom-3s.

Sony Ericsson W980 Walkman review

Reviews In fact, the Xperia X1 is the only truly innovative thing we've seen the troubled manufacturer come out with in a long time. In this feature-packed new clamshell phone from Sony Ericsson, 8GB of memory is crammed into the uber-stylish chassis.

Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd review

Reviews In any other manufacturer's camera this would be a major black mark for the consequent noise problems, but Fujifilm is noted for dealing well with noise. But as enormous great 18x and 20x zoom lenses become more common, we're also seeing smaller...

Denon AH-C252 sound-isolating earphones review

Reviews Denon -- the high-end Japanese audio systems manufacturer -- has gradually been introducing earphones for casual iPod users for over a year. If Lamborghini started making cars everyone could afford, the chances are it'd appeal to a lot of people.

HTC Shift review

Reviews Every six months or so, a new manufacturer takes it upon itself to flog the terminally-wounded horse that is the ultra-mobile PC. Samsung has cracked the whip three or four times, Asus had a go, and we've seen countless others try and ultimately...

TomTom GO 930 Traffic review

Reviews TomTom is an excellent sat-nav manufacturer, bringing out or re-inventing innovative features. We are starting to witness the GPS world falling into the same trappings as graphics cards: before you can blink an eye, your prized possession is...

MSI Turbobook GX600 review

Reviews The MSI Turbobook GX600 has a built-in turbo button that the manufacturer says can instantly increase its performance by as much as 20 per cent, and cut boot times by approximately 50 per cent. Turbo buttons were all the rage 10-15 years ago.

Disc-based camcorders

Reviews Because of this the only manufacturer to venture into the camcorder market with Blu-ray discs is Hitachi. DVD is far and away the most convenient format for recording and playing back video, simply because of the ubiquity of DVD players in our homes.

Best digital SLR for beginners

Reviews The L10 and E-410's NMOS sensors are slightly smaller than the other two, as they are built on the cross-manufacturer Four Thirds standard. There's never been a better time to make the leap to SLR. An SLR is more responsive than a compact, allowing...

Ferguson Hill FH007 and FH008 review

Reviews You may not have heard of Ferguson Hill, but it's a British manufacturer of a very small group of obscurely designed speakers. The company's flagship speaker setup -- comprising the FH001 and FH002 -- will set you back £12,000.
