Sony RDR-GX120

Advantages: Clear instructions to use. Simple
Disadvantages: Not at all reliable in our experience!

...I\'ve had to send two of these machines back. Both in warranty. The second as a replacement for the first model we had. They might be from Sony but our experience is one of complete lack of reliability and both machines just stopped recording and playing any disc back within a month on the first occasion, and we managed to get 2 months out of the second machine. I liked aspects of the machines though, not least the user friendly on screen menu which I think is one of the best I've seen, but absolutely no good to you if the machine isn't reliable enough. It also set up easily enough from the box and the instruction manual is clear and comprehensive enough for most newbies into the DVD recorder market to understand. Its just a shame we've had such a poor experience with the actual machine. I certainly cant recommend it to anyone...

Review of Sony RDR-GX120

Sony Cyber shot W120

Advantages: Trendy, Small,Within budget
Disadvantages: Lack features e.g Digital red eye removal

...This Sony Cyber shot has a 7 megapixel that I personally view as being on the border of budget and fashion.Even though it does not contain all the qualities of T and W series, it is definitly better than the S-series.With its small size, i can easily put it in my pocket together with the battery and the memory card.What i love with this cyber shot is the 9-point autofocus system that helps the camera lock onto subjects, and face detection can automatically adjust focus and exposure to suit the faces in your picture.It also have an adult and children detection mode which can differentiate between them in group. However i have to admit that it does lack the radial blur, fish-eye lens, and unsharp masking.Above all i would love if it did contain digital red eye removal. I personally own this product but after a few research i found...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W120

  Enter the Sony!

Advantages: Packed with extras, looks good and feels good.
Disadvantages: See review for the very minor con`s.

...Sony are one of the newest companies to venture into the world of DSLR`s, having been producing some quite excellent point and shoot cameras for many years this is a move that most people in the photography world had expected to happen a long time ago and a lot had feared the day it did happen too. The reason many photographers feared Sony entering the DSLR market is simply that it would be hard not to get drawn into what they had to offer but they feared that Sony might find the market too challenging and bale out leaving many photographers with cameras that they could not upgrade and would struggle to find lenses and accessories for. When buying a point and shoot camera you are spending in the region of between 100 and 200 pounds for a top of the range model, whilst when purchasing a DSLR camera you could be looking at spending...

Review of Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A350K

A Great System from Sony

Advantages: Nice Classy Design, Great Graphics, and a Good Online
Disadvantages: Small Gamelist Thus Far and Some Games Suffer From Framerate and Graphical Pop-Up Issues

...Sony's Playstation 3 is thier third go around in the Video Game business. My console reviews usually consist of reviews in the following categories Controller, Graphics, Multiplayer/Online, and Game Library. Much like the Xbox 360, i'll also be reviewing the Design of the PS3. The design of the PS3 is the more classy of the three new consoles. The PS3 is a black square system with a curved top. While the design is beautiful, this system is very big, matching the 360 in terms of size. The system also offers Blu-ray but, in my opinion, that should not be the only reason you should be spending $400-500 on this system. The PS3's controller is the classic Playstation controller once again and that shouldn't be a problem for any gamer. The original PS3 controller was the Sixaxis but is now Dualshock 3. For a company that created...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Apple ipod classic 120 GB

Advantages: Stores a lot of music
Disadvantages: Expensive

.... The shuffle was not for me, as it does not have a screen and I wanted to watch videos. Quite cheap for about £25 ? but not what I wanted. The next price range was the Nano with slightly more memory of 8-16 GB and with video function. Quite small and at about £80 ok in price. Unfortunately it did not have enough memory for me, as I have thousands of tracks I like to listen to. So there it was, my new new baby: The 6th generation Classic ? It has a whopping 120GB of Hard Disk memory. It plays video and of course music. I got it for £160 and it?s definitely worth it. The instructions says it holds 30,000 songs or 150 hours of video. But this is just on average. It depends of course on the length of each song or movie. I never used more than 82 of it. Which included 5231 songs and two short films. The battery life is brilliant and I...

Review of Apple iPod classic 120 GB

Xbox 360 120GB Hard Drive

Advantages: Lots of space for all your gaming needs.
Disadvantages: Price, Dust, Missing GB

...My personal experience with the Xbox 360 hard drive has been fairly positive. The ability to store music, films, videos and of course games saves is one that no Xbox gamer should be without. 120 GB of memory is more than enough for the average gamer. The hard drive is well designed to blend with the console perfectly. It is small and easy to store. However the price is pretty heavy compared to the cheaper 20GB versions. A problem with the memory is the fact that the hard drive does not actually have 120GB, obviously it wouldn't be exactly due to the need for the running files but several GB are actually missing. Regular cleaning is advised as dust tends to collect on the hard drive but a sharp blow into the docking port is sufficient to clear this. All in all this product is an incredibly useful addition to any Xbox 360 gamers...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Hard Drive Hard drive 120 GB

Sony Handycam HDR-SR12E (120GB)

Advantages: Excellent video and stills quality, Large 3.2-inch panoramic screen, Sufficient manual controls
Disadvantages: No wind filter, No HDI cable supplied

...I managed to get one of these on test and I must say it was an excellent piece of kit. The picture quality of the video was excellent and so was the performance, as for the still photos, very impressive for a camcorder. There are also sufficient manual settings, so if you’re like me you'll have plenty to play around with. However, you will have to use the 3.2-inch touch screen to get to some important functions, which can be an annoying way to use a camcorder. The high capacity HDD allow you to save hours upon hours of full 1080 HD video The large 3.2 - panoramic screen is of good size but the screen is still fingerprint prone. The fingerprints can be distracting at times when recording. If you're in the market for a hard-drive-based high-definition camcorder, you won't go wrong with one of these Sonys. If 120GB is...

Review of Sony Handycam HDR-SR12E

Sony is back with a bang!

Advantages: slick piece of hardware, great games, so much to do!
Disadvantages: not cheap!

...Having just recently won a competition to spend a night with the PS3 I figured it would be a smart idea to do a personal review of the console which everyone will be talking about (in the UK) in a few weeks to come. Please bear in mind that I have only had a chance to test this baby out for a few hours and so my review will not be as in-depth as you might expect. First Impressions The PS3 is indeed a slick looking machine, about the size of it's older brother (PS2) it seems as though finally Sony have caught on to the fact that the outer design of the console is as important to a gamer as the leather interior is to a 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Gone is that ugly block-like design and in comes a smooth surfaced console with curved edges just begging you to caress them. Much like it's predecessor, the PS3 can be placed...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Sony Playstation 3 (PS3)

Advantages: Best Entertainment System Avaliable, Region free games only
Disadvantages: 4GB file limitation External Storage, Cant read NTFS

...I am going to be reviewing possibly one of the biggest console in the market currently the PS3. Firstly I have one and it is great, now let's take a look at it in detail: LAUNCH November 11, 2006: This is when it debut in Japan November 17, 2006: It released in North America March 23, 2007: Finally was released in Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Africa and New Zealand. The UK launch was a shock for who went to it, as it was announced that everyone in the queue would receive a 46" Sony Bravia TV worth £2000. The launches did not turn out great for Sony as initial figures were low, here are the figures below: Worldwide: 5.59 Million - Japan 1,341,000 - North America 2,105,500 - Other 1,300,000 The launch was initially supposed to be as follows: November 11th for Japan and November 17th for North America...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

awsome PC120

Advantages: Compact and ease of use, network connectivity & still pictures.
Disadvantages: none so far

...I purchased my PC120 just under a year ago and it has been brilliant so far. I've used it on almost all my holidays and haven't had any bad things to say about it. It's got a 120x optical zoom lens which enables you to get up close and personal. It's digital so the quality is superior to older type camcorders. It has a 1.5 megapixel CCD imager and MPEG Movie Mode. At the time I purchased this, it was one of the best quality stills you could get with a camcorder. I feel it's good enough for my needs and does the job. However, if you want top class professional photos, it might be a bit weak. It also has Bluetooth technology which enables you to send images attached to email through other Bluetooth devices such as a mobile phone. I have yet to try this out so I can't give any realistic opinion on how well it works. I just use...
