Cybershot R1 review
The Cyber-shot-R1 is something of a departure for Sony. Historically, the company’s focus in terms of sensors has been centred on CCD technology, but this is its first camera to feature a large, low-noise, CMOS chip.

Stitcher 5 is a panorama assembly program that can blend multiple overlapping conventional photographs to produce a seamless ultra-wide image. It can work with anything from just two or three originals to ultra-wide panoramas up to seamless 360 degree views.

DxO Optics Pro 3.0 review
After uploading your images taken with your digital SLR, just imagine how useful it would be to be able to convert and process each RAW file automatically, in batches, while at the same time correcting for various optical deficiencies of the lens used. This is exactly what DxO Optics Pro 3.0 promises to do.

HDR-HC1 review
The HDR-HC1 is the little brother of the HDR-FX1. It drops the FX1’s 3CCDs in favour of a single CMOS sensor, and shrinks the body size and weight down to that of a traditional consumer handheld.

PowerShot S2 IS review
There’s a high demand for big-zoom, image-stabilized cameras, and manufacturers are rolling them out like there’s no tomorrow. We reviewed Canon's PowerShot S2 IS.

3D Software Object Modeller Pro review
This 2D-to-3D software is an updated and upgraded version of Canon’s Software Object Modeller. It was originally developed in the UK at Canon’s Research Centre.

Exilim EX-S500 review
Casio’s 5.1-megapixel EX-S500 may be one of the thinnest zoom lens-equipped digital cameras you can buy. It’s diddy at just 1.5cm front to back with its 3x zoom lens retracted – guaranteed to garner admiring and envious looks.

EIAS 6.0 review
Electric Image Animation System (EIAS) has gone through many changes over the years. A suite of 3D applications, EIAS began as an animation companion to various 3D modellers, eventually incorporating its own modelling program, Modeller.

GY-HD100E review
The HD100 is the first HDV camera to offer interchangable lenses. It’s smaller than it looks, but otherwise it’s just what you’d expect from JVC Pro. It’s available in two versions: the HDV/DV out-only HD100 and the HDV/DV in/out-capable HD101.

Maya 7 review
This latest release sees changes throughout, with virtually no major area of the program left untouched. Maya 7 introduces a host of new features as well as changes and revisions to existing ones, and includes some reworking of the UI and workflow.

Lumix DSC-FZ5 review
The first time you pick up the FZ5, its lightweight body feels like it’s made out of plastic, especially when you compare it with the more robust and similarly featured Sony CyberShot H1 (reviewed here). You almost wish Panasonic had put a bit more weight in the camera.
-
Cybershot H1 review
Sony’s Cybershot H1 is clearly going after the same buyers targeted by Panasonic’s FZ5, another camera released at around the same time. Both are styled like an SLR, and both feature two-piece clip-on lens hoods, image stabilization, 12x optical zoom lenses and 5mp sensors.

Camedia 7070 Wide Zoom review
Why would Olympus introduce a 7.1mp digital camera as a follow-up to its 8mp C-8080? The reason is that this C-7070 is really an improved version of the 5mp C-5060, and is aimed at users who might be considering that model. The C-8080 has a completely different body with a flip-up/down LCD monitor.

D50 & D70s digital SLRs review
Nikon’s latest brace of digital SLRs lower the entry-price into the professional camera market still further. Both will challenge the wave of high-end, closed-system prosumer models, such as Sony’s Cyber-Shot DSC-F828 and Nikon’s own Coolpix 8800.
-
Caplio GX8 review
The main reason you’ll want to get your hands on the Caplio GX8 is the number of megapixels it packs. So far, no other manufacturer has come up with such a small digital camera – at such a low price – that can capture this level of detail.
-
Canon EOS 350D review
It’s a fact, not all professional photographers use professional-level cameras. Often there’s sound commercial reasoning behind the choice: why risk an expensive digital SLR when one costing much less will do the job?

Final Cut Pro 5 review
With this release Apple fixes FCP in high-end markets. While the majority of the new features may appeal only to that market, the support for HD formats future-proofs the application. With multiclip support included, it is...

Panoweaver 4.0 review
Shanghai-based EasyPano offers major competition to the iPix when it comes to panorama creation software. The program stitches fisheye lens photographs into seamless spherical panoramas. These are viewed in Web sites or presentations.
-
Photoshop CS2 review
The new version of Photoshop is the best reason to buy Adobe Creative Suite 2, as it has the pick of the best features among the updated packages. If you’re a photographer, you’re in for a treat, but other digital creatives will find something new here too.

FinePix S3 Pro review
Fuji’s FinePix Pro series of digital SLRs has always trodden an independent path, but the new S3 Pro camera is the most radical yet. Its standout feature is the ability to capture an extended dynamic range compared to normal digital SLRs.
