Xerox ColorQube 8570/ADN
The Xerox ColorQube is unlike most colour printers. It’s neither a laser, nor a true inkjet. It’s a big office device with plenty of expansion potential, particularly in terms of the amount of paper it can handle. It’s designed for general office duties – but with colour quality that’s considerably higher than your average laser,…
FujiFilm XP30
Although it’s water, dust and shock proof, FujiFilm’s rather rugged XP30 compact digital camera isn’t aimed at the bomb-proof travel camera’ market. Instead, it’s designed to protect itself from clumsy family members – including, but not limited to, kids. That said, we could still see a place for the svelte 165g XP30 in the daysack…
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT3
Compact digital cameras are often small enough to fit in a shirt pocket, but Panasonic has gone the other way with its Lumix DMC-FT3. Only recently launched but already discounted online, its tough exterior is an attempt to create a camera that can withstand the rigours of travel, hiking or adventure sports. And it really…
Pentax Optio S1
The Pentax Optio S range has always been popular, because it combines stylish good looks with a solid build and high-quality photo images. You won’t be surprised to learn that the Optio S1 continues in the same tradition. It’s been three years since we saw the last in the range – the S12 – and…
Brother DCP-7070DW
Brother’s recent batch of mono all-in-one laser printers have been notable for their speed and print quality. After looking at machines from the higher end of Brother’s range (such as the MFC-7460DN and MFC-7860DW), we’ve now turned our attention to the even more compact DCP-7070DW. You’ll notice straight away that it clearly comes from the…
Olympus SP-610UZ
Olympus has recently release a spate of new digital cameras. We recently investigated the VG-130, which is essentially an entry-level model for those new to compact digitals, giving them plenty of features for less than £100. The SP-610UZ shares many of the same specifications as its younger sibling, but offers one major advantage: a massive…
FujiFilm FinePix X100
If the words ‘compact digital camera’ conjure up images of a slim, credit card-sized device you can slip in your top pocket, the FinePix X100 will come as something of a surprise. At 445g with battery and SD card installed, this little monster is seriously heavy, thanks to its precision die-cast magnesium alloy body, which…
Olympus VG-130
If you’re thinking about buying your first compact digital camera but you’re not particularly camera savvy, you’ll be looking for one that’s not too expensive or complex – oh yes, and it’s also got to take good-looking images. The Olympus VG-130 is just such a camera. The VG-130 is the conventional ‘cell phone’ size (96x57x19mm)…
View Quest Retro 1
What is it with DAB radio manufacturers and their love of nostalgia? For some reason, they all hark back to the days of the old Roberts kitchen radios – solid rectangular boxes with booming sound – rather than choosing high-tech exteriors for the new digital science. View Quest’s Retro 1 squarely follows this fad, complete…
BenQ W1200
Small, handsomely designed and selling for just over a grand, BenQ’s latest Full HD projector is aimed at the ‘home projection’ market – and that means photos and gaming as well as home cinema. The W1200, you see, has something that virtually all serious’ home cinema projectors lack: built-in speakers. It’s a nice addition that…
