Reviews

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1

    Sony's DSC-TX1 is an exciting step forward for compact cameras, pushing for better image quality rather than more megapixels — and it pulls it off in style.

  • Canon EOS 1D Mark IV

    The big daddy of digital SLR cameras has arrived — ladies and gentlemen, start your engines.

  • Logitech Wireless Desktop MK700

    Although it's not our favourite keyboard and mouse combination, the Logitech Wireless Desktop MK700 set earns our recommendation for its comfortable "Incurve" key design, quick scrolling mouse and impressive battery life.

  • Nikon D3S

    The Nikon D3S is the replacement for the professional workhorse, the D3, and sits alongside the D3X at the top of the Nikon FX sensor line-up.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1

    The Lumix DMC-GH1 proves that there's fight and fury in the Micro Four Thirds format, with brilliant HD video quality and great still images.

  • Olympus Mju 7020

    We're a bit ambivalent about the Olympus Mju 7020. It's got a wide-angle lens and a relatively long zoom at 7x, but misses out on good picture quality and class-leading features like HD movie recording.

  • Asus Lamborghini VX5

    Asus' Lamborghini VX5 is a luxury laptop, with a luxury price to match — thankfully justified by the quality of the laptop and package. If you've got a wad of cash burning in your pocket, and don't mind a little luxury, the VX5 might be for you.

  • Sony Ericsson Satio

    There are a few trade-offs, but overall we're very impressed. The Satio sports a sharp, responsive touchscreen and is possibly the year's best camera phone.
