Toshiba Camileo H20 review

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 15:49:02 +0000

The attractive and solid Camileo H20 is an excellent 1080p compact camcorder for a reasonable price. Extremely simple to use, it also delivers generally good image and sound quality, making it remarkably easy for a camcorder novice to become a HD maestro in seconds

Canon FS10 review

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 11:08:02 +0000

At a budget price, the Canon FS10 is small, stylish and provides a reasonably expansive feature set for an SD card-based camcorder. With 8GB of flash memory built in as well, it's a compact and convenient video camera with a hybrid zoom for very long shots

Yamaha HTY-750 review

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 15:44:02 +0000

Is your love of terrific surround-sound performance hindered by loads of speakers, overabundance of wires and obnoxious blue LED lights? Never fear: the Yahama HTY-750 is here. It's a simple, all-in-one sound bar that'll give you great sound without the annoyances

Sony NSC-GC1 review

Wed, 03 Oct 2007 14:31:01 +0000

Closed, the NSC-GC1 net sharing cam looks more than a little like the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Sony have jumped on the YouTube bandwagon with this pocket camera/camcorder. It's specifically tailored for video sharing, and don't worry -- you'll be in complete control

HP Pavilion dv6000 (Core 2 Duo) review

Wed, 04 Oct 2006 11:42:02 +0000

Like all the laptops in the HP Pavilion line, the dv6000's sleek design and shiny finish hold their own next to systems from style-conscious manufacturers such as Apple and Sony. Aside from its good looks, the dv6000 also provides a solid set of entertainment features and high-end components for a fair price

Alienware Area-51 m5550 review

Mon, 25 Sep 2006 16:24:01 +0000

The m5550 posted some of the best test scores we've seen, so if you're looking for raw power (and you can afford to pay nearly two grand for it), you won't go wrong with this desktop replacement from Alienware. If you need a laptop that will run on its battery for extended periods, though, look elsewhere

JVC Everio GZ-MG77 review

Tue, 22 Aug 2006 14:05:18 +0000

JVC's hard-disk-based GZ-MG77 has sacrificed some of its features for affordability -- it only has a single CCD, as opposed to its more expensive 3CCD sibling, the MG505, and the zoom comes nowhere near tape-based models. If you're a casual user, however, who wants to record straight to hard disk, it might just suffice

Dell XPS M1210 review

Wed, 05 Jul 2006 13:45:22 +0000

Although the M1210 is heavier than most 12.1-inch screen ultra-portable laptops, it packs plenty of features into its 2kg mass, including an integrated webcam, media controls and an impressive number of ports. The M1210 will appeal to everyday users who want a relatively light and compact Media Center computer

Canon MV890 review

Tue, 30 May 2006 16:11:01 +0000

The Canon MV890's is not as sparse as its price suggests. The MiniDV camcorder is a surprisingly well-appointed model, which shares impressive core specs -- including a widescreen LCD and plenty of manual controls -- with Canon's more expensive models, the MV930 and its pricier MV960

JVC Everio GZ-MG77EK review

Fri, 19 May 2006 12:06:01 +0000

The JVC Everio GZ-MG77EK records its video on an internal 30GB hard disk, which allows you to save as much as 7 hours of video at the highest quality or a staggering 37 hours of footage at the lowest-quality. It's extremely lightweight and compact, but the video quality simply doesn't stack up against that of most MiniDV or DVD camcorders
