Samsung NX200

Samsung NX200

by Debbi Allen on 15th March 2012
With a large APS-C-sized sensor, this CSC stands out from the ever-expanding competition The Samsung NX200 is compact and fits neatly into the palm of your hand. The outer casing is smooth, apart from the textured panel that wraps around the right-hand side of the body for the hand to comfortably grip, so it will suit those who are always on the go. The menu system is intuitive and all shortcuts and controls are where you’d expect to find them. Even if you’ve never used a Samsung model before you won’t have any trouble working the NX200. A handy Fn button has

Sony E16mm f2.8 SEL 16F28

Sony E16mm f2.8 SEL 16F28

by Debbi Allen on 20th October 2010
Sony’s so-called mirrorless cameras, the NEX-3 and -5, are impressively compact especially considering they house an APS-C size sensor and flip-up rear LCD panels. But like any camera system, compatibility with a wide range of good-quality lenses is crucial. Along with the obligatory 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens, Sony also made an ultra-compact 16mm f/2.8 prime available immediately and announced an image stabilised 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 to follow. The latter we can now see as being the obvi

Swann ThumbCam Mini Digital Video Camera

Swann ThumbCam Mini Digital Video Camera

by Debbi Allen on 27th August 2010
This positively tiny device is the epitome of portability. True to its name, this little camera is about the size of your thumb, allowing users to carry it with them wherever they go, so they’ll never miss a moment. Being so small, it’s important to have an uncomplicated interface: something which Swann delivers with ease. The shiny black plastic casing sports nothing but the lens on its front face, with an ergonomically shaped groove for your index finger to wrap around and kee
