REVIEW
How does Nikon's flagship perform?
28 January 2009 16:00 GMT
Tweet
The Nikon D3, this camera’s predecessor, was a camera optimising excellence in almost all areas. Enter the D3x, a camera that builds further on the superlatives already meted out to its predecessor.

Epson Stylus Photo PX700W printer review
REVIEW
Need a photo printing all-in-one?
15 January 2009 9:00 GMT
Tweet
It takes around 10 minutes to setup the extremely stylish-looking PX700W, once it’s freed from its box; following the step-by-step approach to set-up makes it very easy to do and follow, making getting the thing going and connected very user friendly...

Pentax K-m digital camera review
REVIEW
A worthy entry-level offering?
29 December 2008 9:00 GMT
Tweet
Pentax’s pared down DSLR, the K-m, is a DSLR for beginners; those trading up from a compact, say, but wanting a less complicated experience. And as such, it does - pretty much - exactly what it says on the tin. However, is that simplicity a step to far?

REVIEW
Can this challenge the G10 and LX3?
19 December 2008 15:30 GMT
Tweet
Nikon’s P6000 arrives with some very clever kit not least of which is the GPS data for “geo-tagging” images, where the location each image was made is stored as Global Positioning Satellite data within each image’s exif data....

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX150 digital camera review
REVIEW
Does this snapper make an impression?
26 November 2008 9:00 GMT
Tweet
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX150 looks, at first glance, just like many other digital compacts on the market. It has a surprisingly uninspiring squared off design but with all metal build that enhances the camera’s appeal.
So, the unassuming... -

Canon IXUS 980 IS digital camera review
REVIEW
Can Canon's compact impress?
19 November 2008 9:00 GMT
Tweet
Canon can be applauded with its Digital IXUS 980 IS; applauded for creating a very different compact indeed, although its bold curves may mean you’ll either love or hate it. The camera’s only straight edges are those surrounding a rather excellent-to-use...

Canon EOS 50D digital camera review
REVIEW
Does this DSLR impress?
4 November 2008 12:00 GMT
Tweet
The 50D enters the DSLR market pitched into the same sector as Nikon’s recent D300 and as such it has stiff competition. The new camera’s apparent similarity to the 40D masks a very different and much improved model in the 50D; almost every aspect of...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC T77 digital camera review
REVIEW
Slick lines, but can it deliver?
24 October 2008 16:00 GMT
Tweet
As ultra-compacts come the Sony Cyber-shot DSC T77 a supremely pocketable at a mere 15mms thin and the slim-line design is offset nicely by a well made body that’s dominated on the back by the large 3-inch colour touch-sensitive screen. On the front,...

REVIEW
Does the built-in Freesat wow?
24 September 2008 12:00 GMT
Tweet
Panasonic has introduced the World’s first flat panel TV with a built-in Freesat tuner and it’s a cracker. The 46-inch model we had to test has Full HD 1080P resolution, though its blocky black lines aren’t the most stylish on offer today, it is a versatile...

Does this deliver the semi-pro features you expect?
16 September 2008 12:00 GMT
Tweet
Olympus’ E-3 is the company’s flagship DSLR and provides a professional level of build and specification at a semi-professional price point. The first thing about the camera you notice however is its bulk.
The magnesium alloy body weighs... -

REVIEW
Slim in the pocket. Fat on features?
19 August 2008 16:00 GMT
Tweet
The Exilim EX-S10 is billed as the World’s slimmest digital compact and it is certainly very thin indeed. The S10 sits perched at the top of the Casio Exilim Card range above the S880 and comes in a variety of striking colours including red, white, blue,...

REVIEW
Plain sailing for the updated flagship model?
5 August 2008 16:00 GMT
Tweet
The E-520 arrives packed full of clever kit the likes of which would make any enthusiast snapper salivate and some pros a little envious. Like the E-510 before it, the E-520 has a 10-megapixel resolution, Live MOS sensor equipped with Olympus’ excellent...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 digital camera - First Look review
FIRST LOOK Sneak peek at the new snapper 21 July 2008 15:00 GMT TweetA brave stand by Panasonic sees the DMC-LX3 arrive without playing chase in the ever more pixel race.

Sharp Aquos BD-HP20H Blu-ray player review
REVIEW
Does Sharp's Blu-ray player cut it?
10 July 2008 9:00 GMT
Tweet
Most Blu-ray players are still expensive pieces of kit and so it’s most welcome indeed to find that Sharp’s BD-HP20H retails for under £400 and more importantly, it is available – with astute shopping around – for another hundred quid less.
