Pentax K-x DSLR camera
A sufficiently solid alternative to Canon or Nikon? 25 November 2009 12:09 GMT

The Good
Comprehensive feature set that ticks most of the boxes for today’s DSLR user, sharp results with kit lens and at optimal settings

The Bad
No HDMI output for hooking the camera up to a high-def TV or monitor despite it offering HD movies, no rechargeable battery provided

Verdict
For those looking for (nearly) all the latest must haves in one package, the Pentax K-x feature set offers a good value return for your money, whilst also being friendly to use via the prominence of its auto settings. Results straight out of the camera require minimal post processing too

Price
£599 with 18-55mm kit lens
Mobi Headphonies portable speakers
Coolest speaker around? 9 October 2009 16:00 GMT

The Good
Fairly inexpensive, balanced sound, looks pretty cool (if you're a teenager)

The Bad
Not particularly durable, can't charge while playing, no auto switch off, needs to face away from you for best sound

Verdict
The Headphonies have a few design flaws, but once you get used to this – it does what it's meant to. It's a portable speaker that stands out from the crowd

Price
£19.99
EyeToy Play Sports – PS2
More arm waving for your EyeToy 7 December 2006 0:00 GMT

The Good
Over 101 mini games, gets you active

The Bad
Imprecise, not very slick, slow loading, imprecise

Verdict
Those new to the EyeToy will be entertained, but those with other games might be better to stick to what they’ve got.

Price
£24.99 (games only)
Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle - DVD
A masterclass in delivery and material? 4 September 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
An unending stream of devastating gags and observations faultlessly delivered

The Bad
It loses its potency when it shifts from weightier subject matter and the linking sketches are fairly patchy

Verdict
Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle is a comedy essential, a masterclass in delivery and material; playfully offering a cultural signpost to a better world where mediocrity is no longer acceptable as currency

Price
£19.99
Navigon 8410 satnav
Does this satnav impress? 17 November 2009 15:08 GMT

The Good
Bluetooth integration, rich POIs, excellent visuals, great design

The Bad
Media player functions don't work, price

Verdict
Expensive, but excellent design and navigation and comprehensive mobile phone integration

Price
£379.99
Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR digital camera
A viable all-in-one alternative to a DSLR? 8 October 2009 9:00 GMT

The Good
Sturdy construction, intuitive operation, broad focal range allows for a wider variety of creative choices

The Bad
Priced the same as an entry level DSLR (albeit cheaper than one coupled with a lens with the equivalent focal range), standard definition video

Verdict
A jack-of-all-trades super zoom that whilst it may not offer the broadest range on the market, offers one of the best builds and a distinctive feature set none the less

Price
£429
Nikon Coolpix S1000pj projector camera - First Look
One to watch? 4 August 2009 18:29 GMT

The Good
Project your images up to 40-inches, 12-megapixel sensor, usual bells and whistles from Nikon, 5x optical zoom

The Bad
Why, why, why?

Verdict
Nikon has created a great little device, but we're not really sure why

Price
£399
Summer Infant vibrating baby rocking seat
Are you sitting comfortably? 23 September 2006 9:19 GMT

The Good
Easy to put together, three sensory toys to hang from the bar, washable covers

The Bad
Vibrating wasn't that vibrating, once your baby starts to want to sit up this doesn’t look to offer a comfortable seat, Bar to far away to grab toys hanging from it

Verdict
Good for the very little ones, but once they get past 5 months it will be time to start looking for another seat to plonk them in

Price
£24.99
Nikon D3000 DSLR camera
Does Nikon's new entry-level DLSR steal the limelight? 25 August 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Small, lightweight yet sturdy construction, reliable results and responsive in operation, intuitive to use with or without Intelligent Guide deployed

The Bad
No Live View option, no movies of any description, no built-in anti-shake

Verdict
Though some may find Nikon’s implementation of an on-board help guide with large print text and bright graphics on the D3000 patronising, there’s no denying it’s a clever way to widen its traditionally specialist user base and attract new converts – even if we did miss use of Live View when attempting shots from otherwise tricky angles on occasion

Price
£429.99 (body only)/£499.99 (18-55mm VR lens)
EyeToy - PS2
20 August 2003 0:00 GMT

The Good
Groundbreaking

The Bad
Could be consigned to “the party trick”

Verdict
The million-selling starter to the camera game revolution and the standout console peripheral of this generation, now with other titles in support

Price
£40
Samsung ST550 digital camera - First Look
How vain are you? 14 August 2009 11:29 GMT

The Good
1.5-inch screen on front, smile mode, touchscreen rear display

The Bad
Bet all those screens eat the battery

Verdict
While we are still holding out on a full verdict because we were unable to see what the image quality is like, but the hardware specs, laughable at first, quickly began to make sense up close and personal

Price
£TBC/$349
Frost/Nixon - DVD
Dry political drama? 15 May 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Superb performances that give life to what could have been bland fare

The Bad
Seriously, if I have to see the trailer for The Boat That Rocked one more time…

Verdict
Curious as a historical document, and compelling as a work of drama, Frost/Nixon makes dry-ass political debate seem far more potent and exciting than anyone ever thought possible

Price
£19.99
EyeToy Groove - PS2
4 January 2004 18:49 GMT

The Good
Entirely dance oriented EyeToy use

The Bad
Best enjoyed while drunk (if you’re grown up)

Verdict
Delivers good family or adult entertainment and deserves a look

Price
£35
Shaun the Sheep iPod speaker system
Can a sheep give you good music 15 August 2007 13:00 GMT

The Good
Plug in any MP3 player, cuddly, cute, sound not bad

The Bad
Sound isn't great

Verdict
The sound might not be as great as the top of the range models, but it is cute

Price
£30
Tomy Dance With Me Teletubby Po
Dancing queen? 13 December 2008 9:00 GMT

The Good
Some degree of interactivity

The Bad
Volume, lacks variety, creepy

Verdict
For Teletubby fans it’s bound to be a hit, but it lacks the finesse of Elmo Live, being rather limited in its overall offering. It does come in cheaper though, but seems expensive for what it is

Price
£34.99
Man On Wire - DVD
Get high on documentary suspense 2 January 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Great, fast-paced storytelling

The Bad
Not too much - maybe some more footage of the stunt itself might have been nice

Verdict
Fresh, exciting, tense and awe-inspring, Man On Wire is a remarkable film that reaches far beyond its remit as a humble documentary

Price
£19.99
Solargorilla solar charger
Ultimate solar solution? 12 December 2008 15:00 GMT

The Good
Extremely large solar panel means it actually works, robust build quality, comprehensive bundle of adapters

The Bad
Pricey, works best in conjunction with £150 Powergorilla

Verdict
If you can stomach the price tag, this is the best portable solar charger we've seen

Price
£140
Quantum Of Solace - DVD
007 blasts onto the small screen 20 March 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
It’s absolutely gorgeous to look at

The Bad
Gemma Arteton. I’m sure she has her merits, maybe they’re on the cutting room floor

Verdict
With Daniel Craig now firmly in the driving seat, Quantum Of Solace sees the legendary Bond franchise speeding off assuredly into the rocky post-Bourne espionagey landscape. Fiercer, more rugged and keen to recognise the existence of the real world, this is truly a Bond for the 21st century

Price
£24.99
Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo
All the fun of the jungle 22 April 2007 9:23 GMT

The Good
Sturdy, safe, ajustable, variety of activities, motor skill development

Price
£79.99
NERF N-strike - Nintendo Wii
"No blasters, no blasters!" So should you reach for one? 5 March 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
The blaster is ace

The Bad
Game a bit lacking

Verdict
As a concept we love it, however as a computer game NERF N-Strike is a bit of a one trick pony that you are likely to get bored with

Price
£39.99
Pentax K-7 DSLR camera - First Look
Can Pentax steal the mid-range show? 1 June 2009 12:30 GMT

The Good
Weatherproof casing, 720p video mode, plenty of features, plenty of buttons, mic-in socket, HDMI support

The Bad
No 1080p movie mode, ISO limited to 6400

Verdict
Compared to the D300 and the 50D we would have to say you get a more feature-packed camera, something that took us a little by surprise

Price
£1199.99
Tomy Mock U Rappers
Ultimate desk gadget or destined for the bin? 27 September 2007 0:00 GMT

The Good
Might make you smile for around 0.2 of a second

Transformers Alternators - Subaru Impreza Silverstreak
1 December 2004 12:28 GMT

The Good
Looks like the Impreza, detailed, free moving wheels

The Bad
Too difficult for the 5+ age group as suggested on the box

Verdict
If you’re hooked on that Citroen advert at the moment this will quell the urge, even if it’s not the right car

Price
£20
Pino - robotic toy
8 February 2004 17:23 GMT

The Good
Cheap, learning ability, fun

The Bad
He might be a robot, but he isn't the sharpest tool in the box

Verdict
For £50 it’s average for the price. As a Christmas present though it’d be less damaging if this was dumped, rather than a real puppy.

Price
£50

The Good

The Bad
Bulky, flash takes time to recharge, overly noisy at low lighting conditions

Didn't find what you want?

Are you having trouble finding what you are looking for? Below are a few tips that should help you get the best results from our search engine.

Be Specific

Try to think of words that would best describe the product such who makes it or how many megapixels it has. Our search engine does not recognize "and", "or" "the" or similar words so don't worry about putting them in as search terms.

Spelling

Typos are the most common reason for unsatisfactory search results. If you're not sure how to spell a product or brand name try a more general term.

Tags

If you still can't find what you are looking for, then why not try our tag index where we have tags all our stories with words we think will help you find information quickly. You can choose to look at the tags either via which are the most popular, or via an alphabetical list.
