How do digital cameras differ from film?

Reviews Some cameras have LCDs that flip out or twist, to help you frame difficult shots Some cameras have LCDs that flip out or twist, to help you frame difficult shots Film: Takes disposable batteries that require infrequent replacement.

Canon PowerShot A650 IS review

Reviews In fact, were it not for a slightly different control scheme, a smaller flip-out LCD, and lack of raw file support, the A650 IS would be nearly identical to Canon's pricier midrange camera. The camera's large design also leaves enough space for the...

Nokia N76 review

Reviews As with most flip phones, this one has dual screens, both of which are very impressive. The main screen is not only very large, but also pin-sharp and works a treat with applications such as the excellent built-in Web browser.The external screen is...

OLPC XO-1 (One Laptop Per Child) review

Reviews There's also a button to flip the screen's orientation, as it can rotate through 180-degrees like a tablet, and fold back in over the keyboard. There are dozens of smart design touches, from the show-off -- flip-up Wi-Fi rabbit ears that also lock...

Canon Pixma iP5000 review

Reviews A sleek 419 by 170 by 287mm and 6.8kg, the Canon Pixma iP5000 unfolds for use, with a flip-up 150-sheet autofeeder tray that needs no extra clearance behind the printer and a flip-down 50-sheet output tray that extends 150mm in front.

Sony NSC-GC1 review

Reviews The brick-shape to the GC1 is hardly ergonomic Besides its flip-out screen, the brick-shaped GC1 offers few ergonomic considerations and feels uncomfortable in the hand. While the GC1 lacks a dedicated macro mode, a toggle switch next to the lens...

Motorola Razr V3i review

Reviews But you can't actually start the camera rolling with the flip closed. The rocker, incidentally, doubles as a camera zoom control when the flip is closed, and the front screen doubles as a viewfinder for taking self portraits.

Canon Pixma iP6600D review

Reviews The flip-up vertical autofeeder tray accepts 150 sheets of paper, as does a second input tray tucked underneath. At 7.3kg and 429 by 185 by 305mm, this printer commands quite a chunk of desk space, which grows another 200mm out of the front for the...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 review

Reviews One of the niftier ones is the flip animation mode, which lets you shoot as many as 100 320x240-pixel images, then string them together into a video clip that's as long as 20 seconds. For example, it includes a rotating, flip-out LCD screen to make...

Cowon iAudio G2 (1GB) review

Reviews It's difficult to say how well the all-plastic design will hold up to long-term use, but we liked the firm snap of the protective flip cover for the line-in and USB ports, and we found all the buttons responsive and easy to control.

Palm TX review

Reviews Palm does package the device with a flip cover that attaches on the left side to protect the screen and outer face from scratches, but if you want complete protection, we suggest you invest in a full-size case.

Sony KLV-26HG2 review

Reviews The flip-out side panel is a clever addition, as you can hide everything out of view when you're not using it. There are even more connections on both sides of the television, some under a flip-out panel, and it has a Memory Stick slot underneath...

JVC Everio GZ-MS100 review

Reviews You can't take stills while shooting video, but instead need to flip a tiny switch on the left side of the body. FeaturesDown the left side of the flip-out 69mm (2.7-inch) LCD is a touch-sensitive strip that sort of takes the place of a joystick or...

Leica V-Lux 1 review

Reviews Unfortunately, the LCD screen measures only 51mm (2 inches) diagonally, but flip-out LCDs tend to be smaller, so it's on a par with the competition. One of the niftier ones is the flip animation mode, which lets you shoot as many as a hundred...
