Ricoh GR Digital II review

Reviews Strangely, they didn't include shutter-priority, though you can shift the exposure in program mode -- which some cameras don't allow. The Fuji is just as small and pocketable, has similarly high-level manual exposure controls, sensor-shift image...

Nikon D70 review

Reviews For instance, you can use automatic white balance but program in an automatic colour-temperature shift. Our favourite is the ability to resize the area with which the camera calculates centre-weighted metering -- a really handy way to shift the D70...

Widescreen monitors

Reviews The world of display technology has seen a shift in recent months. The popularity of square-ish 4:3 displays has dwindled at the expense of newer, widescreen models. This is good, because Windows Vista, the replacement for the ageing Windows XP...

Samsung NV7 OPS review

Reviews Samsung's NV7 OPS simply confounds us: for a company to clearly have spent a great deal of time working on a novel but quite usable new interface, but implement it in a sluggish camera that produces noisy, overprocessed photos just seems, well...

Olympus SP-550 UZ review

Reviews While optical image stabilisation tends to be more effective than the sensor-shift variety, we found Olympus' method very effective and surprisingly quiet for mechanical stabilisation. FeaturesJust in case your steady hands aren't enough, or in...

Olympus mju 1010 review

Reviews The CCD-shift stabilisation is very effective too, allowing you to grab blur-free close-ups of distant athletes or wildlife, even in low light. Olympus has always kept its mju series of cameras sleek and skinny -- no mean feat when consumers demand...

Nikon Coolpix S10 review

Reviews The camera also sports a 6-megapixel CCD sensor with sensor-shift image stabilisation -- Nikon refers to this simply as VR -- to help keep that long lens steady. Nikon has been making swivel-body cameras dating back to its successful 900-series of...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX100 review

Reviews Panasonic's Mega OIS lens-shift stabilisation helps combat hand shake, while Intelligent ISO control -- a separate shooting mode available on the mode dial -- analyses motion in your subject and automatically raises the ISO to a limit you select...

Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 review

Reviews The antishake control -- now renamed as Super Steady Shot, even though it's a CCD-shift instead of the lens-shifting stabilisation that's found in other Sony cameras with an identically named feature -- has a dedicated on/off switch on the bottom...

Sony Alpha DSLR-A900 preview

Reviews DesignUnlike its competitors, which use lens-based image-stabilisation systems, Sony opts for in-body sensor-shift image stabilisation, now dubbed SteadyShot Inside. Sony's Alpha DSLR-A900's main claim to fame is its 24-megapixel full-frame (the...

Pentax K20D review

Reviews In case you haven't been paying close attention to the digital SLR market lately, there's been a shift toward CMOS sensors. The sensor-shift Shake Reduction certainly helps to keep images blur-free to an extent, but it could probably be more...

LG Flatron L226WTQ review

Reviews Today, everybody and his grandmother touts a low response time, prompting a shift of focus to contrast ratio. A couple of years ago, the most important factor in the race for the best computer display was millisecond (ms) response time.

Pentax K100D Super review

Reviews Not only that, it now sports a CCD-shift based dust prevention system that gives it an immediate advantage over its closest competitor in the Nikon D40, which lacks both anti-dust and anti-shake features.
