Sony Vaio VGN-FW41E/H review

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 15:32:02 +0000

You'll have to fork out a sizeable wad of cash for it, but, if you do, the 16.4-inch Vaio VGN-FW41E/H desktop-replacement laptop will reward you with a swish design, good all-round performance and a large, high-resolution screen. It's an impressive lump of laptop

Samsung PS50A756 review

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 17:06:02 +0000

Samsung has improved its plasma TV range this year -- a real achievement considering how good the previous range was. And this PS50A756 is a truly fantastic TV, with bright, beautiful colours, sharp detail and good sound quality. Then there are the infinite features, which put this TV at the top of its class

Dell SP2208WFP review

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 15:36:02 +0000

Excelling in testing and delivering outstanding results with DVDs and games, the Dell SP2208WFP monitor is a winner. For scenarios where it'll perform double duty as a productivity and an entertainment display, we highly recommend this LCD monitor

Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 review

Wed, 31 Oct 2007 12:35:02 +0000

The Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 has a very un-Sony-like design, but it holds its own against its competitors with loads of features, including a moisture and dust-resistant body and Eye-Start AF, which detects your eye and begins autofocusing. With great image quality, this dSLR is spot on for amateurs

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G1 review

Thu, 13 Sep 2007 12:59:01 +0000

The screen on the Cyber-shot DSC-G1 is so big, you can almost gather friends around it to watch slides. With its MP3 capabilities, you can even set your photos to your favourite songs. Fitting comfortably into your jacket pocket, take the DSC-G1's show on the road

LG 60PF95 review

Wed, 13 Jun 2007 12:15:02 +0000

Expanding its Chocolate look from phones into TVs, LG has equipped this massive 60-inch plasma with touch-sensitive glowing red controls. It might be an awful lot of money, but for a TV of this size -- and with 1080p hi-def performance this good -- it's almost a bargain

Olympus u [mju:] 730 review

Wed, 06 Dec 2006 11:00:00 +0000

The Olympus mju 730 is a pretty camera with some impressive design aspects -- it has a slim, rectangular metal body with several striking characteristics that set it apart from other style-minded snapshot cameras -- however slow performance and image problems let it down somewhat

Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1 review

Wed, 29 Nov 2006 12:48:01 +0000

Panasonic's 7.5-megapixel dSLR can create very good images under the right conditions. With its kit lens, we saw virtually no coloured fringing and images were sharp, with accurate, well-saturated colours and a decent dynamic range. A boxy, unbalanced design, however, could put the L1 at a disadvantage

Canon EOS 400D review

Wed, 15 Nov 2006 16:31:01 +0000

Featuring a higher-resolution chip than the earlier 350D, the EOS 400D otherwise shares much of its functionality. Canon's new model comes with a small, light kit lens and features a large main LCD -- an exceptionally readable, in-your-face medium for monitoring settings

Nikon D80 review

Tue, 12 Sep 2006 23:00:00 +0000

The Nikon D80 -- with 10.2 megapixels, lightning-fast performance, high-quality images with very low noise and a heaping pile of convenience features -- will not disappoint. If you already own some Nikon lenses and have been waiting for an affordable 10.2-megapixel dSLR, this one is a definite winner
