Some interesting technology, married with superb performance – and a huge price tag.

Sony's first CMOS based consumer HD camera brings control and fidelity to images in a package that's hard to beat.

Beautifully designed with excellent battery life and generous features – but it’s expensive.

It’s what the professional audio market has to offer podcasters and budding musicians -- but quality comes at a cost.

Speedy and adequately functional for light use, the UX27– though not perfect – is the best UMPC yet.

Incredible design and amazing battery life makes the G118 a tempting mobile option.

One beautiful camera, with one awful flaw.

It's the return of the twin graphics chip powered laptop, but this time Core2 Duo power is under the hood.

It’s one of the thinnest laptops available and it looks stunning, with an industry first up its sleeve.

A quirky UMPC, halfway between a full-blown laptop and the Origami concept.

Great looks, a good software bundle and hardware that almost completes the package.

Sony does it again with a Notebook to die for.

Sony typically asks a little more than their competitors for similar products, but this usually pays off in the quality of workmanship and the reliability associated with most Sony products. The Sony VAIO VGN-S28GP is an extremely well-built notebook and should provide rock-solid performance for years to come.

Sony’s VPL-ES1 scores were below-average in every regard, even though in our tests it proved to be a quite capable unit.

Consistently competent in every test, the Sony SDM-S81R was an instant contender for an award in this category, but its price/performance ratio was what sealed it as the winner.

A smart mini-DV cam with more features than most

Sony has done a good job of packaging a top quality camera into such a compact size. While it's not the smallest of the Sony range, it'll appeal to those who don't want anything too bulky.

The problem with making a camera too small is that they can become difficult to handle; the DCR-IP55e overcomes this by swinging the battery holder down to form a pistol grip.

The Sony SDM-X82B was one of the most consistent performers in this Labs, gaining clean passes in 16 out of our 19 test screens.

The Sony DSC-F707 looks unusual: attached to the camera like an oversized appendage is the very large Vario-Sonnar lens, providing the F707 with excellent image magnification via the 5x optical zoom and 38-190mm variable focal length, coupled with 10x digital zoom.
