Reviews

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900

    The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900 is a good, fast snapshot camera that's also very attractive and extremely compact. Its battery life is a little short and some will find the photo quality unworthy of the price tag. You're paying for the great design more than for great photos.

  • 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.

  • Canon Pixma MX330

    The Canon Pixma MX330 doesn't produce the best quality prints, but you won't find a more versatile printer in the sub-$200 category. An auto-document feeder, 1.8-inch LCD screen, and easy-to-use features make it an excellent choice for creative homes on a budget.

  • Nikon D5000

    Judged on its own merits, the D5000 is a great digital SLR for those wanting something a bit better than the entry-level D60 model, and equals or betters a lot of the performance specifications of the D90.

  • Panasonic SC-PT870

    The Panasonic SC-PT870 is a good system, offering decent-quality surround sound and very good picture performance.

  • Loewe Art 42 SL Full-HD+ 100 DR+

    Not within everyone's ballpark, the Loewe Art 42 SL is a pricey LCD TV, but if you can afford it, you won't be disappointed. It's a stylish bit of kit with plenty of upgrade and customisable options.

  • Topfield TRF2400 Masterpiece HD

    The Topfield Masterpiece HD is a very capable PVR that offers a lot of recording flexibility and just as many cutting edge features as the "big boys".

  • Sony Ericsson W508

    The W508 is a great phone for listening to music and playing games, but it's yet another Walkman phone from Sony Ericsson that doesn’t really standout from the pack.
