Reviews

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1

    The WX1 is an excellent compact camera with a great feature set and speedy performance, but mixed photo quality makes it miss the mark.

  • Toshiba 19DV615Y

    The Toshiba 19DV615Y is a semi-portable 19-inch LCD screen with a built-in DVD player.

  • Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier

    Solid gameplay, challenging platform puzzles and a touch of whacky humour make Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier a good addition to Sony's much-loved series.

  • Kogan Blu-ray Player BD 2.0

    The renewed Kogan Blu-ray player is a bargain, with many of the niceties of much more expensive players but you can't expect video precision for the price.

  • Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 G

    The Sony 70-200mm lens is an excellent telephoto zoom choice for Alpha cameras, providing you've got deep pockets and strong, strong arms.

  • Sony PlayTV (PS3)

    The Sony PlayTV is an add-on for the PlayStation 3 that allows you to use your console as a fully-fledged, dual-tuner video recorder.

  • DJ Hero

    DJ Hero spells a new frontier in rhythm gaming of electrifying fun, but the cover charge is steep.

  • 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.
