3D Toolbox review

Canon Digital IXUS 970 IS review
Canon’s Ixus line is renowned for its styling, but the Ixus 970 IS’s design is a triumph of style over substance.

Casio Exilim Card S10 review
By far the smallest camera in this group test, the Exlim Card S10 isn’t quite credit-card sized as the name suggests, but it’s half the thickness of most of its rivals.

Fujifilm FinePix F50fd review
At almost £70 less expensive than most of its rivals here – and £111 less than Canon’s Ixus 970 IS – the FinePix F50fd seems like a total bargain.

Nikon Coolpix P5100 review
Next to the other models we’ve looked at here, the Coolpix P5100 is a bit on the chunky side, but as the camera is actually pitched against higher-end models, it’s actually pretty small.

Ricoh R8 review
The R8 is an engineering marvel, cramming a whopping 7x lens into a body that’s on the larger size compared to the other group test models, but still slips into your pocket easily.

Sony Cyber-shot W300 review
Of all the cameras here, the Cyber-shot W300 offers the best balance of size, performance and ease-of-use – and to us, it’s the best-looking to boot.

Canon HG10 review
At first glance, the HG10 might look rather out-of-place in this line-up, but it has several features that could make it suitable if your HD video-production needs are modest and occasional.

Canon XH-A1 review
Last year, Canon’s XH-A1 bowled us over with its keen price and exceptional capabilities in low light. But the market has moved forward – particularly Sony’s offerings.

Panasonic AG-HVX200 review
When we last looked at Panasonic’s AG-HVX200, its shooting flexibility greatly impressed us, but the lack of editing support for DVCPRO HD recorded to P2 card rather limited its usage...

Sony HVR-Z7E review
Sony’s HVR-Z1E has become a classic, and is now the standard tool of the independent videographer – so the HVR-Z7E has a lot to live up to.
-
Sony PMW-EX1 review
A quick glance at the PWW-EX1 reveals a family resemblance to the HVR-Z7E. But although its CMOS sensors also use the Exmor technology, the EX1 has a trio of 1/2in units.

JVC GY-HD201E review
JVC differentiates considerably between its consumer and professional ranges. Of all the camcorders on test, the GY-HD201E feels most like TV studio equipment.
