Reviews

  • Panasonic Viera TH-P42S10A

    For a budget plasma, the Panasonic Viera TH-P42S10A certainly doesn't perform like one and boasts a significant improvement on last year's models.

  • 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.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1

    The GF1 is Panasonic's third micro four thirds camera, and is set to go head-to-head against the Olympus E-P1.

  • Panasonic SC-HC3 Compact Stereo System

    Panasonic's attractive SC-HC3 combines CD and iPod playback with excellent audio quality, although iPhone owners should shop elsewhere.

  • Panasonic SC-BT207W

    This is a well-featured system that will produce great looking Blu-ray and DVD images. Sound quality's generally pretty good, just don’t push it too far.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX65

    It's a good camera that can take some beautiful pictures, but for the price and the lack of extra features, the FX65 doesn't live up to our expectations of value — and its video quality is terrible.

  • Panasonic DMR-BW750

    If you're looking for a flexible PVR that's packed with features, then the excellent Panasonic DMR-BW750 Blu-ray recorder is almost a one-stop shop.
