Hitachi DZ-GX3200E review

Reviews The main difference between the two is CCD sensors -- the DZ-3300E has a 3-megapixel sensor, while the DZ-3200E captures images with a 2-megapixel sensor. The camcorder packs a 1/3.6-inch, 2.1-megapixel CCD sensor.

Canon Digital IXUS 85 IS review

Reviews The spec is bang up to date, though, with a 10-megapixel sensor, face detection and even image stabilisation. Image quality has that typical Canon magic, wringing a good amount of detail from the 10-megapixel sensor while keeping a nice natural...

Kodak EasyShare C875 review

Reviews Bells and whistles can be nice, but the most important aspects of any camera are its lens, sensor and image processor. FeaturesBeyond its 8-megapixel sensor and 37-to-180mm-equivalent 5x optical zoom lens, the C875 is a fairly nondescript camera.

Cameras with image stabilisation

Reviews Some cameras compensate for your tiny movements by physically moving elements of the lens or sensor. The massive 18x zoom of the Olympus SP-550 UZ uses sensor-shifting technology to minimise vibration when pushing your zoom to the limit.

Sony Handycam DCR-HC46 review

Reviews But inside, each has a different CCD sensor, which means there should be some difference in performance. It was noticeably sharper than the video we got from the DCR-HC36, which shouldn't be a surprise, given the HC46's larger sensor, which...

Canon Digital IXUS 850 IS review

Reviews With the follow-up Digital IXUS 850 IS, Canon improves upon its previous design by squeezing in a wider lens and a higher resolution sensor. The camera's sensor can be boosted to as high as ISO 1,600 for low-light or high-movement shots, though you...

Panasonic SDR-S10 review

Reviews It's light on the pocket and the waistline (supposedly it's the world smallest SD camcorder), but image quality risks being equally frothy, thanks to a modest 800K sensor inside. Leave it in this mode unless you're really running short of space, as...

Kodak Zi6 review

Reviews To accommodate the larger 1/4.5-inch 1.6-megapixel sensor and generous 61mm (2.4-inch) LCD, the Zi6 is bigger than most of its competitors, particularly the similarly priced Flip Video Mino. True, the £130 Zi6 records video in 1,280x720-pixel...

Canon DC50 review

Reviews At around £450, this standard-definition DVD camcorder not only fulfills its primary role as a video camera, but its 5-megapixel sensor and generous still-photo feature set makes it a capable tool for taking snapshots.

Canon Digital IXUS i7 review

Reviews Canon has taken its supersmall Digital IXUS i, dropped in a 7-megapixel sensor and a new image processor, thrown in a few handy accessories, and called it a day. The IXUS i7's sensor can also bump up its sensitivity to ISO 1,600, a fair improvement...

Logitech G5 Laser Mouse review

Reviews Like last year's Logitech MX1000 Laser Cordless Mouse, the G5 Laser Mouse features Agilent's LaserStream laser sensor. However, the G5's sensor is newer and twice as sensitive as the MX1000's (2,000dpi compared to 800dpi).

Best long zoom compact cameras

Reviews The sensor takes the place of the film in digital cameras, with an image recorded when light comes through the lens and falls on to the sensor. A single 35mm film frame in a film camera is the same size as a 'full-frame' image sensor, but most...
