Reviews

Samsung ST550

Self-portrait screen or not, this camera marks Samsung's coming of age. Aside from a few too many megapixels and battery life that's too short, it's a delight to behold and use.
Nikon Coolpix S640

The S640 boasts dSLR-like responsiveness and good pictures but is let down by its price and lack of competitive features like HD video.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35

The FZ35 should be at the top of any potential superzoom buyer's list, with a fully featured specification sheet and good image quality.
Canon EOS 7D

Canon has created a proficient prosumer digital SLR with the 7D, sporting excellent specifications and performance such as burst shooting speed and HD movie recording.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1

Sony's DSC-TX1 is an exciting step forward for compact cameras, pushing for better image quality rather than more megapixels — and it pulls it off in style.
Lenovo ThinkPad X200

It lacks some basic features you may require — touch pad, optical drive — but the 12.1-inch ThinkPad X200 offers strong performance and the longest battery life we've seen.
Logitech Rechargeable Speaker S315i

The Logitech Rechargeable Speaker S315i offers good sound quality in a compact, durable package; it's a solid choice for iPod owners who are constantly on the go.
HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless

The HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless makes a convincing inkjet argument for offices with a high volume of prints. With a function touchscreen, multiple networking options and an astoundingly fast print speed, it makes perfect sense to give this workhorse an Editors' Choice award.
