Intensity review
Most video capture cards try to offer as many different connection types as possible, but Blackmagic Design's tiny Intensity has two HDMI ports only.

Velocity review
The Velocity² external hard drive is new to the UK, but it’s based on the same Silicon Image shell that LaCie has rebadged as the Two Big eSATA & USB.
-
DVDit Pro HD review
With DVDit Pro HD, Roxio is hoping to corner the market for early adoptors of HDV camcorders. It’s a DVD authoring tool that supports Blu-ray disc creation.

500GB eSATA EHD review
Seagate is one of the first manufacturers to introduce external SATA storage. This 500GB external hard drive is sleek, attractive and gives fast access to your media.
-
Aperture 1.5 review
With version 1.5, Apple has addressed most of the shortcomings that have kept many photographers away from Aperture. There’s still room for improvement, though.
-
Mac Pro 3GHz review
The base-level Mac Pro is aimed at graphic designers and other primarily 2D-focused creatives. This model sits at the other end of the scale.
-
Mac Pro review
The Mac Pro is more than a G5 with a new processor, it’s a powerful system that offers something not usually associated with Apple – value.
-
My Book Pro Edition review
Even if your computer still has plenty of room left on its internal drive, maintaining an external backup is always a smart idea.

Scanjet 8300 review
The latest flatbed scanner from HP is available in two versions – the standard Scanjet 8300 and the 8300gp, which is supplied with a GretagMacbeth monitor calibrator.

BDR-101A review
The Pioneer BDR-101A is the first PC-compatible Blu-ray Disc burner to hit the market. We were able to pack nearly 25GB on a single write-once disc, and in about 45 minutes.

Suitcase Fusion review
Extensis has been promising this release for a couple of years, and it’s finally arrived. It’s a merger of the company’s popular Suitcase X1 font manager, and the rival Font Reserve 3, which Extensis bought in 2003.

SilverSTOR XS review
Storage can be a problem for small creative studios. You want to have a central place on your network to keep your projects to make them easier to collaborate on – and to keep them safe – but you don’t have an IT bod to configure and run a proper server.

FinePix S9500 Zoom review
The nine-megapixel S9500 Zoom replaces the prosumer S20 Pro at the top of the FinePix range. There isn’t much difference between the two in terms of size – both cameras are bulky – but the new zoom lens makes the S9500 feel a much larger proposition.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
E-300 review
With the E-300, Olympus has lowered the entry price into the digital SLR market even further, creating a hi-tech, high resolution and very compact camera with a list price that undercuts many of the less well-specified compact cameras.
-
Precision 670 review
This Precision 670 is, quite simply, the most powerful workstation we’ve ever seen. If it were a Sci-Fi robot, it would be called Maximillian and would have already turned the Digit staff into cyborgs – and we’d be writing Digit 81 from the other side of a black hole.
-
Magnetar Xi review
Over the years, Armari has made a name for itself as one of the most dependable independent UK workstation vendors. Always at the forefront of technology, the company is regularly one of the first to showcase new developments.

Iomega REV review
There was a time when every self-respecting designer had an Iomega Jazz drive sitting on the desk. The Jazz drive’s removable hard disk cartridges were a handy and cost-effective way of backing up files or sharing them with colleagues, but they were limited to just 2GB, and were soon eclipsed by technologies that offered both higher capacity and lower prices, such as the DVD.
