Olympus SP-565 Ultra Zoom
With 20x optical zoom and a tiny footprint, the SP-565 UZ is a competent superzoom, let down by some lens and picture issues.
Ricoh G600
Though the G600 might be better suited for on-the-job shooting than a life on the snow slopes, it's still not a bad camera.
JVC Everio GZ-MS100
The JVC Everio GZ-MS100 is an average budget SD-card-based camcorder that's more attractive for its small design and relatively average video quality than its unique interface and one-touch uploads to YouTube.
Panasonic DMP-BD35
Quite simply, the Panasonic BDP-BD35 is one of the most sensibly priced and best-performing stand-alone Blu-ray players on the market.
Canon PowerShot G10
The Canon PowerShot G10 is a solid digital camera for enthusiasts who want something more compact to complement a dSLR, but its performance leaves something to be desired.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T500
The T500 is a compact point-and-shoot that incorporates HD movie recording, and is one of the first cameras to capture stereo sound. We only wish the image quality was better.
Olympus Tough Smart 1050SW
The 1050SW is a rugged adventure camera designed for swimmers and skiers, waterproof to three metres with 10.1 megapixels and tap control. Quirky features aside, the Olympus works just like any normal point-and-shoot.
Akai ADPF10X 10-inch Digital Photo Frame
It's one of the nicest looking digital photo frames on the market, but a pretty exterior can't hide the unfortunate flaws that lie within this digital photo frame.
Sony Handycam DCR-SR85
If you don't want to, need to, or simply can't shell out a couple hundred dollars more for an HD camcorder, the Sony Handycam DCR-SR85 delivers decent SD video and copious recording time.
MWg Atom V
MWg's first Australian release is a solid Windows Mobile smartphone at a reasonable price, let down in part by sluggish performance.
Canon EOS 50D
The 50D is remarkably similar to the 40D in terms of performance, looks and features — but if you can spare the extra cash, it's a much nicer package.
Parrot MINIKIT Slim
The Parrot Minikit Slim makes it very easy to make and receive calls without taking your eyes off the road to look at your phone, but a poorly executed visor clip makes this otherwise excellent speakerphone feel cheaper than it is.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3
The LX3 is a good camera with an excellent feature set that positions it way beyond any conventional point-and-shoot on the retail shelves today.
Canon EOS 1000D
The Canon EOS 1000D is a good entry-level dSLR, but only its photo quality stands out among the competition.
Sony Handycam DCR-SR45
The Sony Handycam DCR-SR45 has a good design and reasonable feature set for its price, but the video quality doesn't measure up to the rest of the package.
Canon HF10
Canon's first flash-based camcorder, the Canon HF10, delivers excellent HD video quality and performance in a tiny package.
Creative Zen X-Fi 16GB
The Creative Zen X-Fi is finally here, and while it fits in the pocket and sound quality is excellent, the iPod Touch is still a superior product.
Olympus E-420
The Olympus E-420 is a good beginner's dSLR with an extremely compact footprint that should go well with travellers. Just don't expect any fancy features for this budget model.
Kodak EasyShare V1073
Don't be fooled by its contemporary metal design: the heart of this disappointing camera is pure plastic.
Canon Selphy ES2
Although it offers no technical upgrades from its predecessor, an enhanced user interface and larger LCD display improve on the impressive ES1, making the Canon Selphy ES2 a pleasing choice for a dye-sub photo printer.
