One of the larger form-factor units in this months Labs, Canons 9900F comes with a sexy mag alloy top coating and features a clearly labelled and attractive front control panel for easy single button press access.

A good mini-cam that compromises on some features in return for high portability. It has similar specs to the MV630i but a $600 higher price, so the cost for the reduction in size is a noticeable one. It is comparable with the other mini cameras in the lab.

A true pro camera that slots in nicely between the flagship Canons

As a television-based photo printer, the NX-500 is quite capable

Not the most advanced scanner this month, featuring just two front shortcut buttons, the HP scan software is pure simplicity with many advanced options

A good price coupled with outstanding image quality – a good budget alternative to the Panasonic HDC-HS9

Two of the best small compacts on the market. Quality differences are on a knife edge, but the Canon wins for superior features and handling.

Successor to the ubiquitous 350D, Canon's affordable yet powerful 400D D-SLR is a serious weapon whether an amateur or pro.

If you had asked me a few weeks ago what the advantages of eight megapixels (MP) were over five, I would have said very few. However, that was before I discovered the fun factor in being able to play with an image that is up to 115cm by just over 86cm (72dpi).

Canon shows off its highly anticipated 450D DSLR and Ixus 970 compact in Bris-Vegas.

Superb build quality and performance make this a worthwhile upgrade for serious amateurs.

More expensive than its direct competition, but thanks to its brilliant features the D80 is money well spent.

Canon typically puts out a good digital video camera and for a while had the market fairly well sown up. However, there is now plenty of competition and Canon can no longer just rely on its reputation to keep it at the top. The MVX250i is a mid range camera designed for average users who want something more than the bare basics. Its 860,000 pixel (effective) CCD provides a good quality picture in most cases, including in night mode. However, it can be slow to find a good colour balance.

Once upon a time not too long ago, your average inkjet printer had a single tricolour ink cartridge. Of course, the print quality was fairly ordinary, but it did the job. Today, with digital cameras the norm and home users wanting to print their own photographs, your photo printer may have as many as eight different ink cartridges.

As a reviewer, there is no greater thrill than being privy to a product that you know will either revolutionise or turn the world upside down. The first Palm Pilot, USB devices, and the Canon 1Ds.

Great image quality and plenty of enthusiast features for a very reasonable price

Not much to tempt you over last year's HV20 but Canon still rules the roost when it comes to raw picture quality

Canon’s SLR fails to make the enormous splash of its predecessors, but it’s still a great camera in its own right.

Like the others in Canon’s MV500 series, the MV530i is about twice the size of Canon’s MVX2i mini cam, but is still comfortable to hold and use.
