Reviews

  • Sony Handycam HDR-SR12

    A little cheaper and a bit more capacious than its predecessor, Sony's top-dog consumer camcorder is the one to get should you have the desire to go high-def.

  • AVG Internet Security 8.0

    AVG Internet Security 8.0 provides strong protection against malicious Web sites, but its full-system scans sometimes tax system resources and produce false positives.

  • HP Photosmart A826

    The HP Photosmart A826 snapshot printer offers an attractive design, is easy and fun to use, and works better without a PC than any other snapshot printer we've reviewed thanks to its huge touch screen, but we wonder who will spend AU$400 for a dedicated photo printer.

  • Sony Ericsson W660i

    Another Walkman branded music phone from Sony Ericsson, the W660i features 3G connectivity, a 2-megapixel camera and support for RSS feeds.

  • Altech Maestro Fusion

    The Altech Maestro Fusion is a beautiful system, but you'll need a TV and sound system to complete the picture (literally).

  • Forza Motorsport 2

    Forza 2 delivers on nearly every aspect you'd want in a Forza sequel. It drives incredibly, it's wonderfully presented, and it's rich with modes and features.

  • Fujifilm FinePix S5600fd

    The FinePix S6500fd is a lightweight megazoom which performs well in low-light with high ISO settings. But if you are a sports photographer, there are better cameras out there.

  • Norton 360

    For home and student use, we think Norton 360 represents the best value for ease of use, tools offered, and overall system performance.
