Sony Handycam DCR-SX30E review

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:20:01 +0000

The Handycam DCR-SX30E camcorder is a good buy for those reluctant to make the leap to HD just yet. It offers a good feature set and decent standard-definition video quality for a reasonable outlay, while being far more configurable than similarly priced HD models

Sony Alpha DSLR-A230 review

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 15:21:02 +0000

The 10.2-megapixel Alpha DSLR-A230 is a decent entry-level digital SLR for those seeking to delve deeper into the world of photography. It's reasonably fast, offers useful design features and is capable of taking some great photos. Just steer clear of the default settings

Canon Pixma MX860 review

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 16:01:02 +0000

The Pixma MX860 is a very good multi-function printer at a reasonable price. It offers quick output speeds and generally great print quality, together with an attractive and versatile design, and a robust software suite that's more than likely to bring out your creative side

Sony Handycam HDR-XR520VE review

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 14:55:01 +0000

Despite a relatively awkward user interface and a high price tag, the Handycam HDR-XR520VE is a great hi-def camcorder. It records first-rate video to an ample 240GB hard drive, offers great performance and sports a consumer-friendly feature set, including built-in GPS

Sony Handycam HDR-XR100 review

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 15:08:01 +0000

It's rather expensive, but the Handycam HDR-XR100 records decent 1080p video to its 80GB hard drive, and rectifies some of the problems suffered by the HDR-CX100. Sporting a simple and functional design, it's also comfortable to operate and quick to start up

Sony Mobile HD Snap Camera MHS-PM1 review

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:20:02 +0000

Other mini camcorders may shoot slightly better video, but the Mobile HD Snap Camera MHS-PM1 has plenty going for it. Chief among its attractions are its ability to shoot video at a 1080p resolution, and an appealing and cleverly conceived design that includes a swivelling lens

Sony Handycam DCR-SR47 review

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 16:11:01 +0000

An entry-level standard-definition hard-drive-based camcorder, the Handycam DCR-SR47 isn't for hi-def fanatics. But, if plenty of storage, a 60x megazoom lens and a compact and lightweight body are on your list of priorities, the DCR-SR47 will be well worth investigating

Olympus E-620 review

Tue, 02 Jun 2009 16:41:02 +0000

The 12-megapixel E-620 is a solid and inexpensive entry-level digital SLR. Because it offers a host of advanced features and its interface is more complicated than it needs to be, some beginners might be put off. But those that persevere will be rewarded with good performance and picture quality

Sony Handycam HDR-CX100 review

Tue, 07 Apr 2009 16:26:02 +0000

The compact, flash-based Handycam HDR-CX100 has a boxy but pleasant design and shoots decent video, performing particularly well in low light. Whether or not it's right for you depends on how significant a factor size is, as you can get better-equipped but larger models for the same price

HDX 1000 review

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 10:54:02 +0000

The HDX 1000 is a brilliant media streamer that's capable of playing 1080p video and offers support for virtually every video format under the sun. It also offers fantastic picture quality and punchy sound. If you can manage to get hold of one, we doubt you'll be disappointed
