Reviews

  • Sony Ericsson W995

    The W995 under-performs where it counts. The screen is small and of a low-resolution, the web browser doesn't inspire web browsing, and worst of all, the W995 is just too expensive.

  • Panasonic HDC-TM200

    Like it's hard-disk cousin, the HDC-TM200 features Panasonic's new 3MOS image sensor, Intelligent Auto mode, "advanced" optical image stabilisation and a touchscreen LCD. Instead of a 80GB hard-disk, however, the TM200 has 16GB of built-in flash memory.

  • Sony Handycam DCR-SX40

    Take the step down from the SX60 to the SX40 and you'll have to make do with only 4GB of internal flash memory. Other features, such as 60x optical zoom lens and YouTube uploading, remain though. You do gain a choice of colours (red, silver or blue) though.

  • Sony Handycam DCR-SX60

    The headline act in Sony's standard-def flash camcorder range, the SX60 features 16GB of built-in memory, YouTube uploading and a 60x optical zoom lens.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-CX100

    The new CX100 features less optical zoom (10x versus 12x) than the current CX12 model, but does get 8GB of built-in flash memory as standard, as well as optical image stabilisation, a blockier design and smile detection.

  • Sony Walkman X-series (32GB) NWZ-X1060

    After our preview, we're enchanted with the touchscreen Walkman, but fear that it will only appeal to a small minority of the MP3 player market, namely non-conformists and music aficionados with a burning touchscreen itch.

  • Sony Walkman NWZ-B133F (1GB)

    The entry-level Sony B-Series Walkman is a solid choice for the gym thanks to its ultracompact design, quick charge function, and integrated FM tuner, but beware the eye strain.

  • Creative Zen X-Fi 8GB

    The Creative Zen X-Fi 8GB is the same as the 16GB and 32GB versions of the player except it lacks Wi-Fi capability.
