Review: Iomega StorCenter ix2-200 - 2TB

Tuesday 02 Mar 2010
Review image Iomega’s StorCenter might be packed with useful features, but its complicated set-up means it is probably more suited to users who have some previous experience of network devices.

Review: Freecom Network Storage Center - 500GB

Tuesday 02 Mar 2010

Review: Apple Time Capsule - 1TB

Tuesday 02 Mar 2010
Review image Apple didn’t make an elaborate announcement at the time – it was probably too busy updating the iPod, iMac and the entire MacBook range – but it has recently updated its popular storage system Time Capsule, making it both faster and cheaper.

Review: Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR

Thursday 25 Feb 2010
Review image The FinePix S200EXR is the sort of advanced point-and-shoot that’s many a creative’s dream. It offers superb handling, megazoom reach, and advanced exposure control.

Review: Digital Anarchy Beauty Box

Monday 22 Feb 2010
Review image We’ve all had to deal with footage where someone has skimped on a decent make-up artist and you’ve been asked to give some poor unfortunate a Max Factor makeover in post.

Review: Dell Precision M6500

Monday 22 Feb 2010
Review image The Dell Precision M6500 notebook has powerful graphics and superior LED technology in its 17-inch screen. However, it’s heavy, somewhat cumbersome, and on the pricey side.

Review: Sigma DP2

Sunday 31 Jan 2010
Review image Sigma may be better known as a supplier of affordable third-party lenses, but it has been developing digital cameras that make the most of its heritage and deliver digital SLR quality within compact casings.

Review: Ricoh GR Digital III

Sunday 31 Jan 2010
Review image The latest austere-looking Ricoh digital model marries a high-quality, 10-megapixel sensor to new processor and high-quality, wide-angle lens.

Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1

Sunday 31 Jan 2010
Review image This 12.1 megapixel Lumix is the only one in this test that lets you change lens.

Review: Kodak EasyShare Z950

Sunday 31 Jan 2010

Review: Canon PowerShot G11

Sunday 31 Jan 2010
Review image The G11 sits at the pinnacle of Canon’s consumer models, and follows on from last year’s G10.

Review: Xerox Phaser 7500

Monday 18 Jan 2010
Review image The 7500 offers fast, exceptional output and is the best on the market, though it’s not without idiosyncrasies, and one of its headline features is only indirectly relevant.

Review: Datacolor Spyder3Studio SR

Monday 18 Jan 2010
Review image The Spyder3 Studio SR opens up colour management to illustrators, photographers and designers with high-end colour needs but shoestring budgets.
