Ricoh R8 review
Reviews The R8 is primarily controlled with a thumb-friendly flattened joystick that makes navigating the simple tabbed menus a breeze We found this flatter control was very thumb-friendly, although the grippy raised dots did get irritating after extended...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H3 review
Reviews If Sony would've moved the shutter button a little to the left and the mode dial forward, the zoom rocker could've been moved farther right and given room for your thumb. Sony basically had to put the zoom rocker smack in the middle of where your...

Panasonic SDR-S7 review
Reviews Our fingers curled easily around the body, while the zoom rocker and record button were in easy reach of fingers and thumb. This means the camcorder can be gripped with the thumb forward for waist-level shooting, and in either hand.

Nikon Coolpix 5900 review
Reviews The zoom toggle and the delete button sit within reach of your right thumb The rear zoom rocker fits under your thumb when you poise an index finger over the top-mounted shutter release, but those with large hands may wish the zoom control had been...

Panasonic SDR-S150 review
Reviews Easy-to-operate controls fall under your thumb, while you need to reposition your hand to operate shooting controls and other less frequently needed ones The zoom and navigation controls are easy to operate with your thumb.

Canon Digital IXUS 960 IS review
Reviews We like this method, which keeps your thumb on the rocker while shooting and still lets you get to important shooting-related controls quickly when you need them. With your middle finger in that nook and your pointer finger on the shutter button...

Logitech MX Revolution review
Reviews In addition to the main scrollwheel, it also features a thumb-side wheel (the mouse is designed for righties). The two thumb-side buttons are smaller than on many other mice, but they're no less convenient to press for moving backward and forward...

Nintendo DS review
Reviews Since using either the directional pad or the thumb stylus requires that you hold the unit in two hands, the added weight is easily managed. Though the pen stylus works best for drawing and writing messages in PictoChat, we found that the thumb...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T7 review
Reviews Flicking the lens cover with your thumb is quicker and easier than pressing the tiny power button on the end, but the camera would be slimmer and look neater with a recessed lens cover. A protruding lug on one end provides an attachment hole for...

Canon PowerShot TX1 review
Reviews With our middle finger tucked awkwardly beneath the lens and our index finger on the shutter release, our little pinky ended up dangling beneath the camera, and we didn't know where to put our thumb. Also, since Canon placed the zoom rocker on a...

Canon DC220 review
Reviews Canon now includes a tiny joystick, well located for your thumb, to navigate the menus. Right now, as a general rule of thumb, it's best to try to find a camcorder with at least a megapixel sensor if you can.

Panasonic VDRM70B review
Reviews Once you have the grip, the frequently used buttons are all where they should be: zoom under your forefinger and record/stop under your thumb. Your thumb is also responsible for pressing and holding a button that unlocks and operates the mode...

HTC Touch review
Reviews FeaturesHTC has created a menu interface called TouchFlo, which is activated by flicking your thumb up from the bottom of the screen. The TouchFlo menu presents you with a set of applications, media apps and contacts that you navigate through by...

Canon PowerShot G6 review
Reviews We especially like the ability to switch between two groups of customisable settings from the mode dial, as well as the white-balance selector's under-the-thumb location. Canon addressed my complaint about the thumb rest on the G5; the G6 provides...

Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro review
Reviews You use thumb and forefinger wheels to control shutter speeds and apertures. Other less important functions are controlled by a standard menu system on the main LCD, which you navigate with a typical four-way thumb pad.
