Panasonic have outed three new digital cameras, including the rugged LUMIX DMC-TS2, the super-zooming LUMIX DMC-ZS7, and the AVCHD Lite HD-friendly LUMIX DMC-ZR3. Of the three, the TS2 is the most visually striking thanks to its waterproof/shockproof/freezeproof casing; still, it also has a 14.1-megapixel sensor, 4.6x optical zoom and AVCHD Lite HD video recording.

DirecTV set to launch 3D HD channel in 2010

Shane McGlaun, Dec 28th 2009 Discuss [0]

I admit I am all giddy at the thought of watching 3D Blu-ray films on my PS3. The thing that interests me more though is 3D broadcast programming, and not that horrible Chuck quality 3D NBC tried out last season either. Read The Full Story

Canon EOS 7D Review

Ewdison Then, Dec 9th 2009 Discuss [12]

Anticipation for Canon’s EOS 7D was high, any way you look at it. Latest in a line of well-esteemed EOS cameras, it’s also one of the first prosumer DSLRs to place almost as much emphasis on recording high-definition video as it does capturing stills. Does an APS-C sensor and unusually high megapixel count mean Canon have reached too far, or has the 7D taken the top-spot for all-round shooters? Check out the SlashGear review after the cut.

Chris Davies, Nov 24th 2009 Discuss [0]

Creative's latest point-and-shoot camcorder has emerged, and though the feature list isn't exactly overwhelming it's a decent update over the second-gen version. The new Creative Vado HD still grabs 720p high-definition footage but now the company are claiming improved low-light and bright-light performance together with out-of-the-box compatibility with both PCs and Macs.

Samsung 65″ CCFL-Backlit LCD TV Latest Addition To LCD 650 Series

Evan Selleck, Sep 10th 2009 Discuss [0]

We love big TVs as much as the next person, but there just has to be a point where big is too big. Is 65-inches too big? That's probably a personal taste thing, and while we're sure that there's plenty of people out there that would love to have this new set introduced today at CEDIA by Samsung, we can guess there's one huge obstacle you'll have to climb before you can have one of these bad boys.

Evan Selleck, Sep 9th 2009 Discuss [0]

VUDU has appeared at least a few times here, and it looks like they just couldn't wait to do it again. And while VUDU isn't a stranger to LG products, it looks like a particular Blu-Ray player is set to get the On-Demand love right now. The LG BD390 is no longer bound by physical media only, as it will soon be able to reach out to VUDU's huge digital market, and pull down from more than 2,000 available titles, right there on the spot.

LGBL40 Coming To Europe In September and October Everywhere Else

Evan Selleck, Sep 4th 2009 Discuss [3]

The LG BL40 has been something of a mystery, not so much in specs or even images, but more than anything else a mystery in of itself. The sheer aesthetics of the device make the average person cock their head to the side, and scratch the top of their skull in wonderment. Is that a phone? It sure is, and it just so happens to be a perfect phone for watching widescreen movies. Read The Full Story

Toshiba JournE Tablet Gets Hands-On Treatment

Evan Selleck, Sep 4th 2009 Discuss [0]

We just talked about the JournE, the new Mobile Internet Device (MID) from Toshiba. We still have a relative lack of information regarding the details of the device, but if the media playback of HD videos, plus an emphasis on streaming online videos via sites like YouTube isn't enough to get you excited, we don't know what will. Truth be told, the MID-range of devices is pretty, well, mid-range, but from what we are seeing now, especially by the excitement displayed in the video after the break, we can't help but get even more excited.

Toshiba’s JounE Touch Is a High-End MID Announced Today

Evan Selleck, Sep 3rd 2009 Discuss [0]

The way of the tablet has been a rocky road, but it looks like all of that is beginning to change. Sure, Apple's anticipated launch into the tablet market is helping to stroke the flames, but as long as it keeps promoting other companies to create things like Toshiba's JounE, let's just call it a win-win for everybody.

Creative Vado HD Gets Upgraded With Memory, Mac Support, and New Colors

Evan Selleck, Sep 2nd 2009 Discuss [0]

Creative's Vado HD has been out for quite some time now, and it looks like they're finally getting around to giving the small HD video camera some extra attention. Especially in the looks department. We're sure it has something to do with the fact that the competition's prices are dropping, and obviously this just goes to show you that a little competition never hurt anybody. Especially our wallets. Read The Full Story
