Nokia 6700 Slide

The 6700 Slide looks like a smartphone for the masses, with a good mix of technology you'll probably use and expensive tech you might not find you'll need.
Olin 8-inch Digital Photo Frame with Printer

The Olin digital photo frame is such a novel concept that we can't help wonder why someone hasn't done this before. Fortunately, it works exactly how we want it to.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35

The FZ35 should be at the top of any potential superzoom buyer's list, with a fully featured specification sheet and good image quality.

The Pro805 frustrates as much as it innovates with a touchscreen interface and an interesting, iPhone-style app store.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1

Sony's DSC-TX1 is an exciting step forward for compact cameras, pushing for better image quality rather than more megapixels — and it pulls it off in style.
Epson Stylus Photo TX710W

Excellent photo quality and average text quality equals a standard result for the TX710W, a multifunction that's great at some tasks and only just OK at others.

The Photosmart Premium is a nifty little multifunction with the added novelty of a touchscreen. It does a great job of plain text, but it's a pity about its colour prints.
Epson Stylus Photo T50

The T50 is a reasonably priced single-function printer that produces good photos and can handle CDs too, but the ongoing consumable costs and text quality let this inkjet down.
