Initial impressions are very good, the camera features a nice 3x-zoom lens that pops out ready for action and the large 2.5-inch LCD makes for easy use of menus and keeping abreast of the key features you are using when shooting. Five buttons across the top plate deal with a "favourites" settings (a press and […]

Palm Treo 750 Review
February 24th, 2007 · Comments Off
The Treo 750 looks like any of Palm’s other Treo smartphones but two groundbreaking differences lurk under its hand-held hood. The first is that it runs Windows Mobile operating system - something you never expected from Palm, which used to be Microsoft’s fiercest competitor in the PDA and smartphone stakes. Palm continues to sell devices […]

Nokia 5300 Xpress Music Review
February 18th, 2007 · Comments Off
About the size and shape of a small bar of soap, this two-toned slider is girded with either a black or purple band and has a two-inch screen in the middle. And instead of those annoyingly fancy touch-sensitive music controls, the 5300 is endowed with large, old-fashioned tactile buttons: play/pause, rewind, and fast-forward on the […]

With the replacement of the former top model, the A620, the Canon PowerShot A640 has gone straight to the top.

BlackBerry 8800 Review
February 16th, 2007 · Comments Off
It may sport the same silky-smooth trackball for navigation and chrome accents on the sides, but there’s no mistaking the 8800 for its smaller brother. This dark metallic blue device weighs 1.5 ounces heavier than the Pearl (4.7 versus 3.2) and is noticeably wider (2.6 inches versus 2 inches). At the same time, the 8800 […]

Kodak EasyShare C875 Review
February 16th, 2007 · Comments Off
This is a deceptive camera. At first glance it looks like any other point-and-shoot zoom compact, but that simple appearance disguises what is actually a surprisingly high-spec device. It has a strong all-metal body with a good ergonomic design, an 8-megapixel CCD, a decently fast f2.8 – f/4.4 Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon 5x zoom lens with a […]

Fuji FinePix F30 Review
February 16th, 2007 · Comments Off
The F30 takes around 3 seconds from the time you press the power button until you’re ready to shoot a picture. That’s a bit slow. However, the camera has minimal shutter lag, the time between the time you press the shutter button and a picture is recorded. That’s very important if you take pictures of […]
