Brand new putting system, new set of online options, still as thoroughly addictive as ever

The best available, but there had better be some major new features included next year to stop us feeling short changed

Casio Exilim EX-FS10 digital camera
Does high speed capture impress? 3 July 2009 9:41 GMT

The Bad
High ISO image noise, low-powered flash unit, no optical viewfinder, limited manual control, battery life

Verdict
The high-speed shooting options are real treat, and that, with ease of use combined with good low ISO image quality along with the 720p movie mode makes the EX-FS10 a cracking compact

Price

Does Archos bring anything to the netbook party? 2 July 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Trackpad is pretty good, matte screen good for outdoor use

The Archos 10 is punching above its weight alongside offerings from the likes of Asus and MSI, so there is little that appeal here

Price

Verdict
MediaShow Espresso looks great, is a joy to use and if its restrictions won’t pose a problem this is a very nice way to convert video
