Nokia X6 review

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 11:20:02 +0000

The X6 music phone may not offer the best-ever sound quality, but, thanks to Nokia's Comes With Music service, it gives you a year's free access to zillions of tunes, and 32GB of built-in memory to store them on. Its capacitive touchscreen makes this handset well worth a look for music lovers

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15 review

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 15:35:02 +0000

The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FS15 ultra-compact camera isn't the fastest snapper in the world, so it's not great for capturing moving subjects. Its pictures aren't flaw-free either. But it does offer spot-on features for the price, and it's a good choice if you just want to take everyday snapshots

Samsung WB550 review

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 11:12:01 +0000

The 12.2-megapixel WB550 compact superzoom offers a 24mm-equivalent wideangle lens with 10x zoom, giving you plenty of shooting flexibility. While its picture quality doesn't set any new standards, it provides plenty of features and full manual and auto controls, which should keep you experimenting

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP8 review

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 14:47:01 +0000

The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FP8 doesn't look like anything special, but it successfully tackles a problem that plagues most other ultra-compact cameras: slow performance. It's also easy to use, small and lightweight, and produces good photos. As such, it's well worth a look for people prone to pointing and shooting

Control digital SLR functions from your Mac.

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

BlackBerry Bold 9700 review

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 11:08:01 +0000

The Bold 9700 is the best of the BlackBerry bunch, offering all the features that made previous models great and improving on everything else. It may not be as innovative as its smart-phone rivals, but its zippy performance, vivid screen and reliable email service are very appealing

Canon EOS 7D review

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:12:02 +0000

The pro-orientated, 18-megapixel EOS 7D digital SLR has a couple of minor flaws, but they're far outweighed by all the positives. Offering tank-like build quality, class-leading resolution, excellent high-ISO performance and brilliant continuous-shooting speeds, it's a fantastic camera

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX550 review

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 10:20:01 +0000

The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FX550 compact camera offers a surprising amount of manual control and oozes hi-tech features, including a touchscreen interface and 5x super-wide zoom. It's also capable of shooting decent pictures, and offers decent value for money too

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 review

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:17:01 +0000

Sony has packed an impressive amount of technology into the 10.2-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-WX1, while keeping it tiny and lightweight. Capable of delivering some very good photos, it's also one of the quickest cameras we've tested in its class, making it well worth considering
