Is five better than four? Ricoh CX5 review
It was about eight months ago when I reviewed the CX5’s predecessor, the CX4 – and as I pulled the latest release out of the box, I did a double-take as I thought I’d seen this camera already. Body wise, there is little to distinguish the two of them. The CX5 is a bit dearer than the CX4 (at a smidge under £300), but boasts the same solid, all-metal body…
The Acer Aspire 5755 notebook – Anything new to aspire to?
Acer have come up with yet another new notebook, which, like its every successor to date, claims to adapt to users’ evolving needs. The Acer Aspire 5755 is, according to the company, the model of perfection being “perfect for unforgettable entertainment, perfect for everyday computing, perfect for smooth multitasking.” Although I have to admit, I am a fan of Acer Aspire notebooks, with my Acer Aspire One being my faithful…
Get closer to the action with Sony’s DCR-SX21E and DCR-SR21E Handycams
Sony’s two new standard definition Handycams are the perfect tool for anyone who can’t get close enough to the action they want to film – both boast a huge 67x extended zoom.

Panasonic HX-WA10 HD action camera review
Having grown up with hydrophobic electronics, there’s always a perverse pleasure that comes with dunking £200-worth of unreleased equipment in a vat of water. Thanks to the waterproof and shockproof Panasonic HX-WA10 camcorder, that joy is now linked to the excitement of full HD recording in a cool, fun form. Panasonic invited us to try the new HX-WA10 (alongside its little brother, the HM-TA20) at the Go Ape adventure activity…
Lumix G3: Panasonic does away with the weighty issue of DSLR cameras
While lots of us who are keen photographers love our DSLR cameras, we often end up resorting to taking out a compact model instead because we can’t face lugging our camera around. Sure. It’s fine when you’re out on a photo-taking trip, but if you’re just heading out for a day with the kids or with friends, carting round a weighty piece of kit can be a bit of a…
Leica V-Lux 30: A touch of luxury in a compact world

The German optics company that produces these classic cameras, has designed them to be the best, made from the most durable material and with a high class of workmanship. In case you’re thinking that a Leica is going to be out of your budget, so you won’t bother reading the rest of this, let…
Creative’s inPerson HD Webcam: The ‘smoothest’ web camera in existence?
Skype was an absolute gem of a creation, enabling us to keep in touch with people across the world whilst extensively slashing the cost of doing so. Although it has to be said, unless your broadband connection is impeccably fast and flawless, Skype connection can be a little ‘shaky’ and ‘precarious’ at times. Recognising the fact that not all Skype communication is unblemished by irritating disturbances, Creative, a global leader…
Snap a rainbow with Olympus cameras
Okay – I have to admit it – Olympus won me over with from the start of its latest announcement when it said that it had brought out a purple camera. Now, I know I’m not supposed to be all girlie and be swayed by such trivialities, so let’s get back on track and take a look at the technical specifications. The Olympus VR-310 also comes in red, black and…
Samsung ST93 – Killing the art of photography?
I always love to write a feature about the latest cameras on the market, mainly because I keep promising to buy myself a great new camera, but never seem to get round to it. Although this could about to be changed after reading the press release for the Samsung ST93, which, by balancing a sleek and sophisticated design with Dual Image Stabilisation and 5x Optical Zoom, for a modest £129.99,…
