  • Review: Kymera Wand Remote Control; fun and brilliant!

    At $79.95 it makes a fantastic present. The Kymera is beautifully presented in its box, the instructions are almost worth laminating and framing and well… what more can I say. They even provide the AAA batteries it uses in the price.

  • Change Your Words

    So simple. Such pathos. So effective. A movie does not need to be 2 hrs long to be a blockbuster. 90 secs can do it.

  • Review: Sony HDR-PJ10E

    Sony has come up with a cracker of an idea – well they think so – by building a projector directly into the camera

  • Review: Panasonic VW-CT1 3D conversion lens

    Panasonic's 3D conversion lens is not perfect, but it's a good start to get into the genre.

  • Review: Panasonic AG-3DA1 Part 2

    And as sad as that may be, that probably means another major catastrophe that just happens to be caught via a 3D camera and only a 3D camera
