Reviews

  • Canon PowerShot SX120 IS

    Canon's SX120 IS pocket megazoom falls behind the competition in every aspect except photo quality.

  • 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.

  • Panasonic DMP-B15

    The Panasonic DMP-B15 is Australia's first portable Blu-ray player and features an 8.9-inch screen and LAN network functions.

  • Samsung UA40B7100

    The Samsung UA40B7100 is the most "entertaining" television yet, and further evidence that the way forward for LCD televisions is in LED-backlighting.

  • Sony XEL-1

    Sure, the Sony XEL-1 OLED is ludicrously expensive, but it is also hands-down the most impressive television we have ever seen. Read our Australian-first review.

  • Samsung LA52A750

    The Samsung LA52A750 is a largely excellent TV, but t demonstrates some of the disadvantages of large-screen LCDs.

  • Samsung PS50A650

    Though the Samsung PS50A650 plasma is better than the Panasonic PZ850 feature-wise, it loses out slightly in terms of picture quality.

  • Pioneer BDP-LX71

    The Pioneer LX71 is a great Blu-ray player, despite a slow loading speed for interactive discs and the high price.

  • Sony BDP-S350

    The combination of its small design, solid feature set, and excellent image quality make the Sony BDP-S350 a worthwhile standalone Blu-ray player — especially if you can find it for less than AU$400.

  • Panasonic HDC-HS9

    This year's high-def hybrid camcorder from Panasonic is of the much more useful SD card/hard-disk variety. There's 60GB of on-board storage and 1080p recording at 25fps.

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T2

    A likable ultracompact snapshot camera, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T2 nevertheless faces stiff competition from its own siblings, the T20 and T200.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX100

    If you absolutely must have a 12-megapixel compact camera, the DMC-FX100 isn't a bad choice, but you can find better performing cameras with lower pixel counts for the same money.

  • Panasonic TH-50PZ700A

    Despite a recent price drop, the Panasonic TH-50PZ700A still struggles in the face of its main competitor, the Pioneer Kuro.

  • Sony Cyber-shot T200

    The Sony Cyber-shot T200 is a perfect camera for those who prize style and gimmicky features over performance and control.

  • Sony Alpha DSLR-A700

    A top-of-the-line amateur digital SLR camera, the Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 will delight Konica Minolta diehards and makes a great choice if you don't already have a stake in other lens systems.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18

    The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 offers ease of use to those not prepared to delve into a camera's manual exposure settings, but provides a whole lot more than a point-and-shoot camera.

  • Fujitsu P50XHA58EB

    The Fujitsu P50XHA58EB is a decent plasma screen but it has been eclipsed both in terms of price and performance by younger upstarts.

  • Panasonic Viera TX-26LXD600A

    The Viera TX-26LXD600A is a very advanced television with good features. As is common with LCDs, the picture quality lacks a little with darker images, but it is otherwise a very good performer if the price fits.

  • Yamaha RX-V1700

    The Yamaha RX-V1700 is a mostly solid AV receiver with an attractive feature package and excellent sound, but you might be able to find a better overall value.

  • Microsoft Xbox 360 HD-DVD player

    While it doesn't offer HDMI connectivity, the Xbox 360 HD DVD player matches up well against stand-alone HD DVD players, and it's a relative bargain at AU$249.95.
