  • Ricoh GR Digital III review A true enthusiast's camera that prioritises image quality and ergonomics over fancy features. Stiff competition is its only stumbling block.
    £450
  • Samsung ML-1915 review The benefits of mono laser printers are slim, thanks to affordable colour lasers and business inkjets, but this is the best example available.

    HP Officejet 7000 review With low running costs, a fast draft speed and dependable print quality, this is a great choice for small offices that need A3 colour output.
    £185
  • Adobe Premiere Elements 8 review There's lots to like here, but many of the new features are designed to appeal to people who aren't interested in video editing.

    Steinberg Cubase Essential 5 review Mature, elegant recording software for producing music with live instruments, and great value.
    £110
  • HP Deskjet D1660 review Excellent text and colour graphics prints at a rock-bottom price, but it's worth spending more for lower running costs.
    £30
  • Nikon Coolpix S225 review A low price for such a small, aluminium-clad camera, but its features, performance and image quality are all pretty basic.
    £119
  • Casio Exilim Card EX-S12 review A smart, slim design on the outside, but there's little going on inside to make this camera stand out.
    £150
  • Sony Alpha A230 18-55mm kit review A low price for a digital SLR, but the A230 isn't as impressive as its predecessor or its competitors.
    £349
  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX60 review A beautiful camera with some smart useful features, hampered by a sensor that packs too many pixels into such a small space.
    £200
  • Olympus Pen E-P1 with 14-42mm lens review Could have been great, but at this price we wouldn't be prepared to live with its weaknesses.
    £687
  • Fujifilm FinePix Z33 WP review Inside it's just a basic compact camera, but it's cheaper than other waterproof cameras, and good enough for casual photography.

    Xara Xtreme 5 review This friendly, highly polished illustration package excels at creating graphics and logos, and can turn its hand to DTP
    £69
  • Fujifilm FinePix S1500 review A capable ultra-zoom camera at a remarkably low price, but even better-value models are available.
    £139
  • Nikon D5000 18-55 VR Kit review There's plenty to like in this SLR but its convoluted controls mean it's worth spending more on the D90.
