    Crazy aspect ratio 16 June 2011 17:06 GMT

    If you're a fan of the panoramic mode on your camera you've not really got any ideal way of displaying them naturally on a computer monitor or laptop screen. They're just not wide enough, so black bars top and bottom are a must.

    Sony SLT-A35 hands-on

    Entry-level DSLR action 9 June 2011 10:57 GMT

    Gramophone + iPhone = Trumstand

    Retro and expensive 3 June 2011 17:23 GMT
