Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2
The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-G2 is a great Micro Four Thirds camera. It feels very well made and it shoots vivid, sharp pictures. Its heaps of complicated features can make it disorientating to use, but there's plenty to get your teeth stuck into, and the touchscreen is a welcome extra
-
Acer Stream
The Stream is Acer's best Android handset so far. The customised user interface and 720p video-recording capability aren't all they're cracked up to be, but the large touchscreen is wonderful, and you can play back movies and photos on your high-definition TV via the HDMI output
-
ZTE Racer
The Racer is an impressive Android handset at a rock-bottom price. It feels plasticky and its resistive screen doesn't support multi-touch, but ZTE's made precious few other cost-saving cuts. Running version 2.1 of Android and offering loads of features, it's well worth a look for broke folk
-
Sigma DP2s
The DP2s is a compact camera with a big sensor, a minimum of controls and a distinct lack of bells and whistles. If you're an experienced photographer who wants a camera that does what you tell it to and takes great pictures, you should check it out
-
Nokia C6
The C6 is a Symbian-based smart phone that packs a slide-out Qwerty keyboard, a resistive touchscreen and heaps of connectivity options. From a distance, it looks like Nokia's flagship phone of yesteryear, the N97. But does it cut the smart-phone mustard?
-
Panasonic HM-TA1
The HM-TA1 is the latest affordable, high-definition mini-camcorder to hit town, and we took a sneaky peek at it during a recent jolly with Panasonic. Its lack of Wi-Fi connectivity is disappointing, but it's a solid effort otherwise, and you can use it as a webcam when it's hooked up to your PC
-
Sony Alpha DSLR-A390
The 14.2-megapixel Alpha DSLR-A390 is a decent digital SLR, even it is essentially the same as last year's Alpha DSLR-A380. Its budget price tag is about right, its live-view mode is simple but effective, and its pictures are perfectly passable. It's worth a look if you're not feeling flush
-
Nintendo 3DS
We recently grabbed a cheeky hands-on session with the Nintendo 3DS portable games console. We were really impressed with how the 3D effects have been implemented, without the need for glasses. This could well be the device to bring 3D gaming to the masses
-
Sky+ Remote Record Android
Looks very similar to the iPhone version, but without the grid view for a channel when you rotate the phone to landscape mode. But it works well, and it's essential for Sky+ and Sky+HD owners.
-
Pangoo S700 (LE-32S700D)
The 32-inch, 1080p LE-32S700D LCD TV looks like a cool customer. Its LED edge lights mean it's slim and lightweight, so it could be a good choice if you're short on space. Its lack of picture controls will rule it out for videophiles, but it's an option worth considering for casual users
