Reviews

  • Corel Digital Studio 2010

    A majority of home users will appreciate Corel Digital Studio's feature set, its interactive projects, and wide support for photo and video formats.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-XR100

    While it's a perfectly serviceable HD camcorder, the Sony Handycam HDR-XR100 should deliver a little more of everything for the money.

  • Pioneer VSX-1019AH

    The Pioneer VSX-1019AH delivers an excellent feature set and outstanding sound quality for its price, making it our top mid-range A/V receiver pick so far.

  • Panasonic DMP-B15

    The Panasonic DMP-B15 is Australia's first portable Blu-ray player and features an 8.9-inch screen and LAN network functions.

  • Apple iPhone 3GS (32GB)

    The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-XR200V

    It's the active image stabilisation system that finally makes shooting lengthy handheld movies or on-the-go videos a viable option, which elevates this camera from average to good.

  • Apple Mac Mini (2009)

    Apple's newest Mac Mini is set to be a hit, being both small and powerful. We suspect that if Apple had managed to squeeze Blu-ray support in there, it would take a large chunk of the home theatre PC market.

  • Dell Studio XPS 16

    The Dell Studio XPS 16 is an attractive laptop that handles HD content particularly well, although it suffers from an unimpressive battery life.
