Superb, stylish, solid... but sabotaged by poor controls

A beautiful example of high technology, but we have reservations about the ultimate quality of images.

A decent enough addition to the legendary EOS range, but there are too many competitors at this price.

Good quality optics and lots of storage, but not the most portable of camcorders

Small but solid. The Ixus 75 is perfect for holiday snappers – just watch out when the sun goes down

Impressive optical quality and storage space, though a touch expensive

It certainly isn’t pretty, but with results like these for such a low price the MP180 is hard to ignore

Cheaper than the HF10, although you need to factor in the cost of storage cards

One of the fastest and best-quality printers on show. The scanner isn’t perfect and there aren’t as many features as the best here, but the MP170 is hard to beat for value.

The AF could do with being a bit quicker, and a longer zoom would be good, but it’s still a gem

There’s a good range of software and excellent image quality, but you pay a lot for the durability and ADF.

Good, but not good enough: it can’t compete with the winners this month

Excellent performance and features, but at a price that’s too high

Good value thanks to a decent 18-70mm kit lens and camera-based anti-shake

Economical running costs and a great scanner make it appealing, but it’s slow and hard to use as a standalone copier.

A great next-generation camcorder, but it lacks editing support for the recording format

A capable cam that'll take the knocks and matches it rival, the Panasonic HDC-SD1. It can’t quite better Canon’s HV20 on sheer performance though

Excellent quality and speed for reflective media, but the V200 makes heavy work out of transparencies

Great video, tons of features, easy to use... if only there was a PAL-friendly version

Not the slimmest any more, but still amazingly compact. A very capable cam if you don’t mind the menus
