Sony launched a host of new products today, including new Sony camera, TV and notebook models. Most surprising of all are the crocodile skin CS series notebooks

Dreaming of a super-skinny touchscreen compact for Christmas? For around $400, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T77 has finally convinced us touchscreen cameras are a good thing.

So many features and so much quality, in such a tiny body. Astounding

The best compact Sony yet, with bags of features squeezed into a very stylish package.

A complete bargain at this price. The DSC-W35 boasts superb quality and a great range of features.

An expensive and unusually poor Sony product.

Taking great photos in most situations, the DSC-W50 is a bargain at this price.

Sony’s high-end cameras have consistently impressed us at PC Authority, but just recently they’ve fallen short of Labs Winner status. The DSC-F717 changes all that, with its heady mix of image quality, features and design propelling it to the top of the pile.

The 5-megapixel DSC-V1 offers a great combination of features and performance in a relatively small body. While it’s smaller than its prime competitors – the Canon G5 and the Nikon 5400 – there are even smaller models in this month’s company.

Along with the Sony Cyber-shot P-93, the Canon Powershot A95 is the big lad of this roundup with a pretty decent 5-megapixel CCD. The rest vary from 3-4-megapixel. While this does give the Canon a bit of an edge over the competition in terms of resolution and functionality, it's the camera's other attributes that cemented this unit in the top three.

The market for slimline touchscreen cameras is heating up. Nikon's S60 is almost button-less and has a large 3.5in screen for showing off your snaps - but how does it shape up to Sony's classy DSC-T77.

Featuring a compact lozenge-shaped body with a fair bit of weight to it, the Cyber-shot P-93 is a solid camera that implies strength and good engineering. Internally, the camera has a 5.1-megapixel CCD and is capable of taking some excellent photos.

Sony is no doubt a technological behemoth, an innovative market leader in everything electrical, and fun. For Sony, digital photography is no exception, the DSC-S70 being the 3.3 megapixel entrant in the highly successful Cyber-shot range.

If there's someone in your life without a digital camera, there's never been a better time to get them started. Compact cameras now offer 8-12 megapixels for under $500, and provide large LCDs for easy viewfinding and shot setup as well as automatic face recognition, multiple focal points and more!

New HDR-TG1 Handycam weighs in at 280 grams - or less than two iPod Classics. Add a titanium body and 10x optical zoom and we're drooling.

In issue 119 of PC Authority, we took eighteen cameras and put their images under the microscope. Now you can too.

With huge LCDs, underwater capabilities and high resolutions for under $450, now is the time to buy.

Six new mobile phones appeared on the Next G range today, including Sony Ericsson's "look at me" smartphone, the XPERIA X1.

So your Mum's not inspired by an overclocked Phenom system - but she might go for these gifts.
