The Photosmart R927 is HP’s first 8mp camera. It sports a three-inch LCD in a sturdy metal case, and while it’s not the lightest or slimmest, it’s still easily pocket-sized.

Cyber-shot DSC-H2 review
The H2 is a better-looking camera compared its predecessor, the H1, but it’s underneath the silver polycarbonate shell that the refinements are more significant.
-

Form.Z has been one of the more capable 3D modelling applications for some years, but version 6.0 sees it take a significant step.

Exilim EX-Z1000 review
If you thought the megapixel war was over, you’ll be surprised to learn of Casio’s 10.1mp EX-Z1000. Fortunately, there’s more to this pocket-camera than photo-diodes.

trueSpace 7 review
Arguably the most impressive new feature in trueSpace 7 is the DirectX-based real-time rendering system. TrueSpace 7 has a dedicated view panel – called the DirectX 9 Player – that shows ‘photorealistic’ versions of how a 3D scene will look in real-time.

The Kodak EasyShare V570 is the first compact camera to include two separate lenses and CCD sensors. There’s one set for wide-angle shots and another for telephoto. However, this approach has drawbacks as well as benefits.

E-330 review
The release of Olympus’ E-330 digital SLR is something of a surprise. The company recently introduced the E-500 to replace the E-300 as the company’s entry-level digital SLR. The new E-330 is prettier, but you can’t miss the similarities between it and the E-300.
