Reviews

  • Sony Handycam HDR-CX520V

    The CX520V comes with 64GB of on-board flash memory, active image stabilisation, a 3-inch touchscreen, and face and smile detection.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-CX500V

    With a GPS receiver for geo-tagging, 32GB of flash memory storage, face detection and smile shutter, and active image stabilisation, the CX500 is loaded to the gills.

  • Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray Player

    With a mind-blowing feature set and superlative performance, the Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray player could very well be the last disc spinner you'll ever need.

  • Canon IXUS 200 IS

    Pairing a pretty touchscreen interface with a competent camera is always a good move, but we're a bit stuck as to what the 200 IS actually is: a touchscreen or a conventional compact.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-XR100

    While it's a perfectly serviceable HD camcorder, the Sony Handycam HDR-XR100 should deliver a little more of everything for the money.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-TG5

    It doesn't boast the sharpest HD video, nor the most gee-whiz features, but the 1080i TG5 does have a sexy body. Clothed in titanium the TG5 is a delight to hold, now if only it came in a colour other than champagne.

  • HP 2309m

    At a price of AU$649, the 2309m is a decent buy. While it performs well, the blacks aren't as deep as we'd like, and we'd be more tempted to find something with a matte screen to cut down on reflections.

  • Sony Handycam DCR-SR47

    If high storage capacity, long zoom range and easy operation are above video quality on your list of needs, the Sony Handycam DCR-SR47 is well worth a look.
