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)…
Ricoh CX5
It’s like déjà vu. Just six months ago, we noted that the Ricoh CX4 compact digital camera offered few advantages over its predecessor, the CX3. Half a year later, Ricoh has released the supposedly revamped CX5 – and once more, we have to ask whether there have been enough innovations and improvements to justify the…
Toshiba NB520
Netbooks haven’t moved on much recently. Their place has in part been usurped by the iPad 2 and Android tablets, while their general specifications have languished in a sort of limbo as other laptop computers get faster, and feature an array of increasingly sophisticated features. Manufacturers peddling netbooks now have to work much harder to…
Sanyo – Xacti ICR-XPS01M
The Xacti ICR-XPS01M is, according to Sanyo, “the world’s slimmest and lightest linear PCM sound recorder”. And it’s easy to believe it. With a device like this, measuring a pocket-sized 39x96x9mm (wdh) and weighing just 46g, it’s hard to remember a time when if you wanted to record a celebrity interview, you had to lug…
Samsung – RF710
The phrase ‘desktop replacement’ is often used to describe any large and heavy laptop computer that’s unlikely to be stuffed into a backpack – but in the case of Samsung’s RF710, a definite attempt has been made to provide many of the attributes of a tower-based PC. What desktop features?For a start, the Samsung comes…
Nikon – COOLPIX S5100
Nikon has a growing number of compact digital cameras in its COOLPIX range that aimed at those who want a slightly wider range of features than the point-’n’-click brigade, but who still want to look chic while snapping away. The COOLPIX S5100 is the latest addition to the collection – and while it shares many…
Canon – PIXMA MP495
The new Canon PIXMA MP495 is a very smart-looking machine in what is increasingly becoming the chic shade of the moment – shiny piano black. It’s a very compact all-in-one offering print, copy and scan functions, and weighing in at a not inconsiderable 5.6kg. It has luscious smooth curves, is a perfect size for home…
