Reviews

  • Navman MY500XT

    Improved, but still deeply flawed. We'd suggest checking out the lesser fruit from the Navman tree first.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1

    The Lumix DMC-GH1 proves that there's fight and fury in the Micro Four Thirds format, with brilliant HD video quality and great still images.

  • Fujifilm FinePix S1500

    The S1500 is a mini-superzoom with a 12x optical zoom lens, panorama mode and a 10 megapixel sensor.

  • Fujifilm FinePix J250

    The J250 features a 28mm wide-angle 5x optical zoom lens with dual image stabilisation.

  • Fujifilm FinePix J20

    The J20 is an entry-level compact digital camera from Fujifilm, with a 10 megapixel sensor and 3x optical zoom.

  • Nikon Coolpix S610

    The S610 is a 10 megapixel compact with a 4x optical zoom.

  • Sony Alpha A850

    Sony's A850 is a full frame sensor digital SLR which is set to go head-to-head with Canon's 5D Mark II and Nikon's D700. With 24.6 megapixels inside and in-body image stabilisation it's certainly not a shrinking violet, either.

  • Apple iPod Nano (5th generation)

    Not sure which new iPod to choose? The Nano's fifth incarnation wins hands down, with FM tuner and video camera being more than just cheap gimmicks.
