Canon MVX460 review

Reviews Canon's MVX460 is more compact than its entry-level MV models. On top of the door is the zoom rocker, along with buttons for the video light, photo mode and direct printing, which lets you print your photos by connecting the camcorder to any...

Sony Handycam HDR-SR11 review

Reviews We used to think that hard drive models would take over the camcorder market as miniDV slowly faded into the horizon. We've since changed our tune after using flash-based models, especially those that include some onboard memory.

Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ80 review

Reviews Panasonic plasmas fall into a few distinct camps: there are the budget, 720p models, which are brilliantly competent and a total bargain; then you get the 1080p screens which offer top notch, 'full HD' resolution but without bundles of extra...

Sony MDR-AS20J Active Headphones review

Reviews Although the headphone market continues to burgeon with new models, it can be surprisingly tough to find a decent, fitness-friendly pair. The earphones also offer the detachable shirt clip for keeping the cable out of the way during activity.Unlike...

Canon FS10 review

Reviews In the spectrum that runs from low-resolution, cheapo camcorders such as the Flip to high-quality, solid-state prosumer HD models such as Canon's own HF10, Canon's line of SD card-based camcorders -- FS11, FS10 and FS100 -- falls exactly where...

Which features should I look for?

Reviews Even so, entry-level models, such as the palmOne Zire 31, now incorporate colour screens. Most current models are between 100 and 140mm long and about 75mm wide, and they weigh between 100 and 200g. Models such as the palmOne Zire 21 come with a...

Canon MV800 review

Reviews As one of four models in Canon's 2005 ZR line, the compact MV800 easily achieves its goal: to provide hassle-free moviemaking for home and hobbyist users. Canon's lithium-ion battery snaps onto the rear of the camcorder below the viewfinder, which...

Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile U9200 review

Reviews The Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile U9200 may not be the smallest of models available on the market, but it's still pretty light and demure. Its integrated Intel X3100 graphics chip was only capable of pulling in a 3DMark06 score of 635 which, while...

Canon XH G1 review

Reviews Giving independent videographers something to choose from besides its popular but long-in-the-tooth GL2, Canon offers up two HDV models designed to appeal to the prosumer and entry-level pro markets. Derived from the same technology that the...

Canon PowerShot A560 review

Reviews After quickly starting up and capturing its first image in 1.5 seconds, we could snap a shot once every 1.6 seconds, a great improvement over similar previous PowerShot models. Both models sport the same chunky-but-comfortable design, 7-megapixel...

Samsung VP-HMX10 review

Reviews As 'high definition' is the buzzword of 2007 and 2008, more camcorder manufacturers have entered the market with HD models. This is less of an issue with models boasting large hard disc drives, but is a pressing concern on removable media...

Beyerdynamic DT 880 review

Reviews Although most full-size headphones with audiophile pretensions have open designs that allow the listener to hear outside sounds, a few models are closed to hush ambient noise. These headphones are intended as stay-at-home models -- they're too big...

Apple MacBook (2.0GHz) review
