Reviews

  • Nikon D3S

    The Nikon D3S is the replacement for the professional workhorse, the D3, and sits alongside the D3X at the top of the Nikon FX sensor line-up.

  • Nikon D300s

    The D300s is a fast, reliable workhorse for the semi-professional or amateur photographer, and it feels great to use and makes picture taking a real pleasure. But if you don't need HD video, you might want to try the plain old D300 instead.

  • NHL 10

    While it isn't as big of a leap forward as last year's game, NHL 10 is still one fantastic hockey sim.

  • Belkin Switch-To-Mac cable

    Belkin's Switch-To-Mac package performs adequately, but at a high price for what's likely to be a single use cable.

  • Olympus E-P1

    Though it's rather expensive, we can't help adoring the E-P1. The pictures it takes with the included lenses are mostly great, just don't expect compact-like features such as a viewfinder and flash to be included.

  • Apple Mac Pro (2009)

    Apple's new eight-core Mac Pro demonstrates marked improvements over the older model in high-intensity digital media and multitasking scenarios.

  • Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2009)

    A few other all-in-ones make this 20-inch iMac look expensive on a dollars-per-screen-inch basis, but none are as attractive or as capable juggling multiple programs. With a fast dual-core CPU and a strong array of features, Apple's updated all-in-one will slide seamlessly into a variety of roles at home or at work.

  • Dell Inspiron Mini 10

    The Dell Inspiron Mini 10 looks to be an improvement on the Mini 9, although the initial low resolution screen, lack of WWAN and three-cell battery option could hamper initial sales. We'd recommend waiting for the updated model coming later this year.

  • Best PlayStation 3 games

    With its Blu-ray and music features, Sony loves to spruik the PlayStation 3 as a multi-purpose home theatre centre, but face it, you wouldn't have one if you didn't want to play games. Here's our pick of the best.
