Terrific value and a high-quality set – it’s not Full HD, but at this price, you won’t miss it

Much like the PC and component market, mobile phones have a product lifecycle that changes so rapidly it's hard to keep up. Panasonic has stayed with their tried and true clamshell design, first made popular by the GD88 and continued with the X700. This handset turns their previous generations upside down, offering Panasonic's first smart phone based on Symbian OS version 7.0.

If you don't care about recording to disc, you'd be better off with a TiVo. If you're looking for an all-rounder to tide you over until Blu-ray prices fall, Panasonic's DMR-XW300 has a lot to offer.

A dinky AVCHD camcorder, with respectable video performance and a reasonable price.

It may not be a looker, but in all other respects this Panasonic is a stunning camera

Award-winning TV with exceptional picture quality, although it has now been replaced by Panasonic's 2008 range

While the camera looks like it needs flares and has a name like it never made it off the drawing board there are some features that make this camera an attractive buy

Another cracking Panasonic flatscreen, which impresses with both its integrated TV tuners and external sources

The Panasonic NV-GS15 is the cheaper version of the NV-GS120, but you wouldn't pick it to look at them. It is not until you start to use it that you discover why it is $600 cheaper than its big brother with the three CCD's. The single, 800,000 (400,000 effective) pixel CCD produces average picture quality and certainly nothing that would compare with the 1.62 million (1.02 million effective) of the NV-GS120.

Panasonic has gone above and beyond, releasing its NV-GS35 with its massive 30x optical zoom, dwarfing the usual 20 or so times zooms found on other cameras.

The first thing that stood out with this camera is the absolutely massive 2in LCD display

A capable enough performer, but it doesn’t offer enough for the money to come out on top.

How much? Never mind what the LX-1 costs, just see what it does – yes, it’s pricey, but boy is it worth it

This well-priced mini cam fits snugly in the palm of your hand and like any good entry-level camera can even be used by a child. It's just a matter of pointing and shooting which gets points in our books for a consumer camera.

If the CCD is the brain of a digital video camera it is logical that three should be better than one. A single CCD has to deal with all colours together while a 3-CCD system divides the primary red, green and blue (RGB) colours to individual CCDs to give a much more precise and accurate picture. The result is a high quality image that is as good as any of the cameras tested - including the Sony DVD201E, which provided the benchmark for most of the others.

Panasonic's TX-LCD15S highlights good features with its range of video connectors, and performed fairly in the sharpness and resolution tests.

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

Scoring stronger than both the more costly 17inch Panasonic and Hitachi, the Mitsubishi DV172B just misses out on a recommendation.

Canon are only the second manufacturer in the Australian market to provide a flash based video camera (Panasonic is the other). Daniel Long gives his first impressions.

It may be early days for the technology, but it's still interesting to look at Sony's Blu-Ray drive under the microscope.
