Reviews

  • Olympus Mju Tough 6010

    The 6010 does exactly what it says on the tin and takes photos in extreme circumstances. It's unfortunate that they're not the best photos they could be.

  • Philips GoGear Aria (8GB)

    The GoGear Aria may be cheaper than a comparable iPod Nano, but it's leagues behind in terms of quality.

  • Olympus Mju 7020

    We're a bit ambivalent about the Olympus Mju 7020. It's got a wide-angle lens and a relatively long zoom at 7x, but misses out on good picture quality and class-leading features like HD movie recording.

  • 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.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX65

    It's a good camera that can take some beautiful pictures, but for the price and the lack of extra features, the FX65 doesn't live up to our expectations of value — and its video quality is terrible.

  • Samsung WB550

    The WB550 has a wide-angle lens, and a long zoom designed for travellers and photographers looking for a bit more flexibility.

  • Fujifilm FinePix S1500

    Even for a full-featured megazoom camera at a low price, the Fujifilm FinePix S1500 delivers average photo quality and mixed performance.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1

    If you're looking for a compact zoom camera, the DMC-ZR1 is one of the best, if you can forgive some performance issues in terms of burst speed and average video quality.
