Musically Motoring.... (UPDATED ** My Opinion)

Advantages: Easy to use, great value for money, excellent features
Disadvantages: None - it's great!

...I recently bought this car stereo as a replacement for one that my parents had given me, which didn't play mp3s. I wanted a stereo for around £100 and I wanted a decent brand in the hope that it would last. So what made me choose the Sony CDX-A250? Well, other than the price and brand - it also plays mp3/wma disks, has a remote control and lots of other useful features.The thing that swayed me into choosing this particular stereo, though, was the voucher that came with it in Argos for free fitting. ~*~The Voucher and Fitting (Please skip this section, if you just want to know about the stereo)~*~ I had a lot of trouble trying to get my last car stereo fitted and in the end it took my dad several hours. I didn't want the hassle of doing this one myself, so I rang the Fitting Service from Argos. According to the voucher they...

Review of Sony CDX-A 250

  Enter the Sony!

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

...twice or three times that for an average one, so you can understand the concern of people that Sony might abandon the market as soon as they had joined it, it would not be the first time Sony have pulled the plug on something that just wasn't going how they had foreseen it. However the Sony A350k now see`s Sony bring out there fourth DSLR in quick succession and it would seem with the effort being put into these cameras and the brilliance of them that Sony are here to stay. So when you think about DSLR cameras you now have to think seriously about Sony. They have not only hit the ground running they have hit the ground overtaking some of the most respected names in the world of DSLR cameras. The first Sony DSLR was the Sony A100 which was very quickly superseded by the A200 which was outdone by the very quick arrival of the A300...

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)

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...

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)

Another great console from Sony

Advantages: Really good graphics, Blue Ray player built in, wireless internet for free
Disadvantages: High price, loud fan when playing games

...Sony's next generation console was well worth the wait from the Playstation 2. I have owned a PS3 for just over a year now and I have so far had no problems with it and to see the quality of the graphics of any game was incredible, and it was such a step up from the PS2. Although Sony was late in releasing the PS3, it was worth the wait in the end, although I did consider getting an Xbox 360 instead. The Xbox 360 came out much earlier and allowed microsoft the oppurtunity to get more Xbox 360's out there before the PS3 was even out. However there have been many reported problems with the Xbox 360, such as the console freezing, so I thought I best play it safe and instead get the PS3 when I had some money. The PS3 also offers more benefits over the Xbox 360, like free online play and less reported faults with the console in general...

The Sony Underdog

Advantages: Great features for low price, Great value for money
Disadvantages: Smaller range of Lenses than competitors

... Sony a200 D-SLR camera Introduction This Sony a200 is the bottom of the range fully fledged entry level d-SLR from Sony. With prices now well below £300 could this be the camera for you to enter the next level of your photography? I believe it can. Offering a wide range of features, lenses and quality that has brought Sony where it is today, this camera will definitely be giving the bigger names something to worry about. The Camera This camera is obviously designed from scratch to bring ultimate simplicity to beginners to enthusiasts alike. The build quality is very good for the price, though not as strong as many other cameras in the market, it looks as though it could still take a fair blow or two, but not three. The 10.2 mega-pixel offering is more than enough for most levels of photography...

Sony And Conscious

Advantages: Wait a minute, it's in the review
Disadvantages: Not many but the ones there are pretty shrill

.... The Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T900 is an extremely compact, attractive to say the least and fast snapshot camera albeit with questionable battery life, touchscreen and the quality of image hardly justifies the price tag attched to it. But then it?s more of ?status? camera endowed with fashionable and great design which ofcourse has its own price. This may put off some one who is staunch techie but customers knows better. No doubt you can capture a precious moment real fast. A REAL NOTE OF CAUTION: Since you have decied in favor of Sony Cyber-Shot DSC T900 please use with maximum care, the spares are too damn expensive....

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900

Sony, makers of best consoles. Nothing's changed

Advantages: The range of what you can do with it
Disadvantages: The price

...on at once and they interchange) the Xbox 360 will only output up to 720 layers. What makes the PS3 better than previous models is that even if there is a problem with the operating system (OS 1.50) Sony have been issuing various updates fixing bugs and giving new features. Some of the new features include: Being able to connect a printer, wirelessly connecting to a laptop to access music, videos and photos and also improving PS2 games' graphics to make them HD. There is currently an operating system 1.81. With lots to do on the PS3 and more coming all the time such as a promised updated Playstation store which may become like itunes where you can download movies and music etc. Overall this is a great console with amazing potential to be the best for a very long time. 10/10 to Sony....

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

  Another 5 star Sony!

Advantages: Great functions, east to use, looks and feels good and produces great images.
Disadvantages: The kit lens isnt the best and no live view may bother some.

...For a while now I have been receiving private mails on both Dooyoo and on Ciao asking me to review the Sony A200 DSLR camera, this is because I have made mention of it in a few of my camera reviews lately but never actually got down to doing a full write up on it. I haven't reviewed it previously for a couple of reasons mainly though that I had up until now only had a few hours experience of the unit. Now with a whole weeks shooting with it under my belt and over 1000 pictures taken with it I feel much more capable of writing a thorough review on it. For anyone who has not read any of my previous camera reviews, I am a professional photographer and test many of the cameras I review rather than owning them. So onto the Sony A200 then, well Sony are very new to the DSLR market even though they have been making point and shoot...
