Casio Exilim EX-Z33 is not a compromising device like other cameras in the same range. It is an automatic one and provides more controls than other manufacturers give. The maximum video resolution is 640×480 and the Exilim EX-Z33 has one touch button to start/stop video recording. Its long shutter lags in bright conditions. If the objects are not moving, then the resulting photo quality will be better. We recommend the Casio Exilim EX-Z33 for the users who need a low price range camera for basic photo and video shoot in portraits and landscape modes. The Casio Exilim EX-Z33 has a big LCD screen to view and frame your shots easily. Your thumb naturally rests between the right edge of LCD and Movie mode button. You can capture a still picture in the middle of recording video. The playback, camera mode, Best Shot (BS), Menu, a Set button and circular pad button are located beneath the  [...]

The ASUS K60IJ powered by dual core processor with Mobile Intel Chipset costs $499 making a good and affordable deal for the users looking for great performance. So does it really suite you? Yes, it does not have the Core 2 Duo processor but the Dual Core is far better than other Intel Atom, Intel Celeron and AMD Semptron processor. Also, if you are looking for large screen with comfortable typing and Camera then we recommend this laptop for you. The Mobile Intel Chipset makes the notebook to respond faster. We found it capable for handling games and heavy software like Photoshop, Apple iTunes, Zune etc. Having good performance, one will not be annoyed while working on it. After setting up the virtual memory in the computer properties and a corresponding restart, the notebook works at its full speed. The keyboard has flat concave buttons which makes typing comfortable. The touchpad  [...]

96X96 Display is small and unique to show all the information like Caller ID, Time and Date, Battery and Signals, of course. Its external display is monochrome color. Being low resolution, its graphics did not seem to be attractive; however, bright screen makes the menus intuitive. By some formatting like changing wallpaper, greetings and background colors the mobile can be personalized. Dialing Fonts and Menu Fonts can be formatted by changing their size, color and style. The backlighting time can also be changed. The volume rocker is on left spine. Both Charger port and headset jack can be plugged at a single combined socket on right spine.A non-standard jack with combined slot for charger is annoying and we would like Samsung to support 3.5 mm headset jack with separate slot. Great Thing - It has a Speaker Phone. The camera supports VGA which is not liked by most users. For consolation,  [...]

This camera is a trimmed down version of the more expensive W290 which was also high on features. The latter camera had a wider longer lens, larger screen, HD movie capture mode and few other goodies put in. If you are a light photographer we would recommend you to go for this one rather than the W290 because we think it is worth sacrificing the features for the money that you save. For its price, the W220 gives good performance and photo quality. However, if you are photo enthusiast, then go for W290. The mode dial is crowded with options and it sinks in to the body to prevent any accidental changing. The zoom button is located above the dial. There is a four way navigation circular button for navigation through the menus. You also get settings for timer, display, macro, and flash on the dial. Sony still hasn’t got rid of those Menu and Home buttons which are quite confusing.  [...]

This Netbook is essentially the same device that Asus got in the market earlier but this one comes with a Gobi 3G antenna. The inclusion of this peripheral takes the price to $399 and you can also get this without the antenna for $299. We as tech enthusiasts didn’t find anything exciting in this Netbook, it has a slow Intel Atom N270 processor, clacky keyboard, low definition display and the presence of Windows XP as the OS gives the system an outdated look. A tech conscious Netbook shopper looks at Nvidia’s Ion chip, 11 inch HD screens, and faster processors. We are highly skeptical if this Notebook will survive for long in a stiff competition market. However, if you want a Notebook just for basic tasks like word processing documents and light music playback, we would give you thumbs up for this device. It has 160 GB HDD, 1 GB RAM and Atom N270 processor inside it. You might think  [...]

This is the worst printer we have ever had in our test centers, apart from the cheap price tag (it costs $80) we didn’t like anything about this device. We had lots of hardware malfunctions while testing the printer, the print speed was very slow and we don’t know what the manufacturer was thinking when it brought this awful printer to the market. The print quality too is extremely bad. We would recommend you against buying this printer and go for Canon Pixma MX330 which is belongs to the same price range and is a better performer by miles. If you are adept at printers, you will quickly notice that this device is much behind in quality level when compared to printers in these days are offering.

If you are adept at printers, you will quickly notice that Brother DCP 165C is behind as compared to what other printers in the market today are offering.  [...]

Sigma DP2 is a pocketable and compact camera which is made for fine art photographers and enthusiasts. These type of cameras are really rare, it belongs to the class of devices like Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 and Canon PowerShot G10 and hence it is a bit difficult to make a review for such cameras. The DP2 gives you filmlike smooth photos, with attractive noise features for shooting in black and white. Also there is a broad tonal range. However, on the downside, the device is slow, the autofocus system is occasionally ineffective, battery life is short, colors look inconsistent and delineated and there are also issues of occasional freeze up.

On the top of the camera, there is a typical mode dial which lets you switch between semimanual and manual exposure modes, sound recording and movie capture. The sound recording is only limited by the memory space  [...]

With the new Intel Core i7 processor, you get blazing fast speeds; it has the next-gen multicore performance. Initially, notebooks with this processor were expensive but now that the price has become a bit low, we can buy such notebooks without making a big hole in our pockets. HP Pavilion dv7-3085dx is a gamming notebook, it has all the necessary hardware but we have always thought that games are best played on a big HDTV screen.

Though a gamming laptop, it cannot take games with all the settings maximized. HP Pavilion dv7-3085dx will not be able to run games with all the eye-candy. Along with the processor, the notebook has GeForce 230M GPU for games and comes with a big 17.3 inch screen which means that this is a desktop replacement rather than a portable notebook. We also liked that HP gave us Altec Lansing speakers which give rich high quality  [...]

iPods are ubiquitous these days and they come in all sizes. The iPod classic which has 180 GB of hard disk space lets you carry your music library along with you. And then there is iTunes which is a must if you want to put media in to your iPod. iTunes lets you ‘sync’ your songs, videos, TV shows from your computer to the player. But what if you delete the media from your PC once you have copied it to your iPod? You might sometimes delete the music that you have copied onto the iPod to free up some disc space.Then the player is the only source and if you want the songs back on the computer, there is no way you can do it. This is where CopyTrans comes to the rescue.

JVC Everio GZ-MS120 is a sub $300 class of camcorder and it is for people who are fine with SD quality or want to upload photos on the web. Such camcorders are now struggling to compete with the cheaper pocket video camcorders which capture 720p video. Optical zoom and storage are the only two features now which give such camcorders an edge over the mini camcorders. The highlights of this device is the presence of 35x optical zoom and two slots of SD/SDHC which lets you plug in two 32 GB cards, giving you a 64 GB storage space in all. There is no internal memory though. If you like Flip mini camcorders and don’t mind the big size, get this unit. It is not capable of recording HD videos but is an excellent option if you are looking for SD recording for putting clips on websites like YouTube. The bundled user-friendly software further helps you to put the videos on sites. The battery  [...]
