Digital Life #56: Windows 7, is it worth it?

Microsoft's latest monster operating system is almost upon us, but is it going to be worth buying? We look at the lessons the company has learned from Vista.

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.

Reviews

  • 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.

  • 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".

  • Linksys NMH405 Media Hub

    The Linksys NMH405 Media Hub is a back-to-basics "media-aggregation" server that is perfect for beginners but it does have its hiccups.

  • Logitech G19

    Logitech's G19 Gaming Keyboard boasts a built-in colour LCD with exciting capabilities, as well as lots of little improvements over previous models. But with few apps — thus far — that take advantage of the screen in a meaningful way, the G19's potential remains largely untapped.

  • Apple MacBook (June 2009)

    For AU$1599, it's hard to beat this MacBook's nearly Pro-level specs if you're in the market for a budget Apple laptop.

  • Samsung UA40B7100

    The Samsung UA40B7100 is the most "entertaining" television yet, and further evidence that the way forward for LCD televisions is in LED-backlighting.
