Samsung LA32B650T1M (32-inch LCD)

Review This Samsung 32-incher is a full-HD LCD TV that looks exquisite and features an abundance of functions including online functionality for a relatively reasonable sum of S$1,599. And things only get better when you turn it on. Editors' note: This review is based on evaluations conducted by our...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1

Review The compact long-zoom category, which was once dominated by Panasonic, has seen its fair share of contenders this year. Brands such as Canon and Fujifilm are stepping up to compete in this field and we guess that's what drove Panasonic to expand its current TZ lineup. Enter the new ZR series,...

Nikon Coolpix S1000pj

Review These days, it's hard to distinguish one point-and-shoot from another. Most of them tout similar features such as intelligent automatic shooting mode and sensor-shift/optical image stabilizer. So when Nikon announced the 12-megapixel Coolpix S1000pj, it was a breath of fresh air to the imaging...

Samsung ST550

Review Unlike in the past when camera manufacturers tried to outplay one another by introducing higher-resolution sensors or more powerful zoom lenses, these days it takes more than that to stand out from the competition. This is probably why some of the latest compacts show off interesting features, such...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90

Review Slim cameras have always had one compromise, and that is image quality. Traditionally, these shooters don't usually produce very good pictures, and most shutterbugs attribute that to the periscopic-lens structure.

Olympus Mju Tough-6010

Review In the realm of rugged point-and-shoots, Olympus' name is always one of the first to come to mind. Being an early pioneer in tough cameras, the Japanese firm has one of the world's hardiest consumer-oriented snappers on the market, the Mju Tough-8000. But if you don't dive to great depths and just...

Pentax X70

Review As first efforts go, the Pentax X70 superzoom camera is strong, though it succumbs to problems seen throughout the category--namely slow performance and a noticeable decline in photo quality above ISO 200. The camera's 26mm-equivalent wide-angle lens with 24x optical zoom is certainly very flexible...

Sharp Aquos LC-46A77M (46-inch LCD)

Review The Sharp Aquos LC-46A77M is second only to the company's flagship LED-backlit LCD TV in its 2009 HDTV lineup. This model offers a substantial dynamic contrast enhancement compared with past-generation Aquos, promising stepped-up picture quality to match its new facade. It also packs a high 100Hz...
