Kodak EasyShare Z885 review

Samsung LE40M87 review

Reviews If you're looking to build a decent home cinema, or you just love watching sport on a big screen, a 40-inch TV offers the right balance between 'too small to see from across the room' and 'so big it takes up an entire wall'.

Olympus FE-170 review

Reviews While the FE-180 displayed very good white balance with tungsten lights, the FE-170's tungsten shots looked almost like old-timey sepia prints. They automatically control aperture, shutter, focus and even ISO sensitivity and white balance.

Canon Digital IXUS 900 Ti review

Reviews You can adjust the white balance, the exposure compensation, the ISO sensitivity, and the metering settings, but in true point-and-shoot fashion, most shooting happens with the camera in automatic mode or through its handful of scene presets.

HP Photosmart M437 review

Reviews The M437 completely automates white balance, ISO sensitivity and exposure when shooting. This automation also causes a problem when shooting indoors, as the automatic white balance makes most images shot under incandescent lights severely yellow.

Sony Handycam HDR-SR8 review

Reviews There's a quick manual wheel near the lens that can be customised to alter focus, white balance or exposure, although not full iris and shutter speed control. Detail is confident, accurate and natural, auto exposure and white balance are utterly...
