The A330 is a competent, fully featured and easy to use DSLR, but a backward step in some respects.

The Sony HDR-XR200VE mini cam uses gyros to provide image stabilisation, and has an inbuilt GPS receiver

A brilliantly implemented live-view mode and high specs don’t justify the extra price over its sibling

For a DSLR that does everything an amateur is ever likely to want, with a terrifyingly cheap price tag, look no further.

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.

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

The marker has been laid down. Sony's pulled off another AVCHD stunner that will be hard to beat this year

A classy compact, but with a high price and some image problems

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.

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

One beautiful camera, with one awful flaw.

An expensive and unusually poor Sony product.

HD camcorders enter the mainstream once and for all. With image quality like this, there’s little reason to spend more.

Not flawless, but Sony’s debut DSLR impresses with a 10.2-megapixel resolution and built-in anti-shake.
