Plasma vs. LCD: Six things you need to know

Reviews

  • Yamaha RX-V663

    The Yamaha RX-V663 sounds great, but it's tough to recommend with its paltry HDMI connectivity, poor upconversion quality, and other design quirks.

  • Panasonic VIERA TX-32LXD80A

    The Panasonic VIERA TX-32LXD80A is a strong performer for the price in terms of picture quality, but it's let down slightly by its lacklustre sound.

  • Nikon D60

    Despite modest improvements in performance and a couple of new features, Nikon's D60 fails to impress and costs more than some competing models.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX100

    If you absolutely must have a 12-megapixel compact camera, the DMC-FX100 isn't a bad choice, but you can find better performing cameras with lower pixel counts for the same money.

  • Sony Alpha DSLR-A700

    A top-of-the-line amateur digital SLR camera, the Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 will delight Konica Minolta diehards and makes a great choice if you don't already have a stake in other lens systems.

  • Canon Digital IXUS 960 IS

    Canon's Digital IXUS 960 IS looks great and can take very nice images, but the digital camera's whopping 12 megapixels will leave you waiting between shots.

  • Canon PowerShot A650 IS

    Performance issues aside, the Canon PowerShot A650 IS combines large, good-looking photos and a generous feature set into a fine mid-range shooter.

  • Casio Exilim EX-Z1200

    Though hardly perfect, the Casio Exilim EX-Z1200 produces some very nice, very large pictures.
