Reviews

  • Panasonic Viera TH-P42S10A

    For a budget plasma, the Panasonic Viera TH-P42S10A certainly doesn't perform like one and boasts a significant improvement on last year's models.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1

    The GF1 is Panasonic's third micro four thirds camera, and is set to go head-to-head against the Olympus E-P1.

  • Panasonic SC-HC3 Compact Stereo System

    Panasonic's attractive SC-HC3 combines CD and iPod playback with excellent audio quality, although iPhone owners should shop elsewhere.

  • Panasonic SC-BT207W

    This is a well-featured system that will produce great looking Blu-ray and DVD images. Sound quality's generally pretty good, just don’t push it too far.

  • JVC Everio GZ-HD5

    The HD5 features a 60GB hard disk, high-def 1920x1080 recording and a 10x optical zoom lens. Unfortunately, it records in JVC's MPEG2-TS format, rather than the more popular AVCHD format.

  • JVC Everio GZ-HM200B

    There's no built-in memory or hard disk capacity with the HM200, just two SD/SDHC card slots. You do get a 20x optical zoom lens and AVCHD recording, though.

  • JVC Everio GZ-MG630

    Recording on to a 60GB hard disk, the standard-def MG630 features a 35x optical zoom lens.

  • JVC Everio GZ-MG680

    A standard-def hard disk-based camcorder, the MG680 features 120GB of storage and a 35x optical zoom lens.
