2012 Mini Cooper Coupe John Cooper Works

Small car with a long name

Love or hate its styling, the 2012 Mini Cooper Coupe John Cooper Works is easily one of the best-performing front-wheel-drive cars we've tested. Unfortunately, it's also priced about $10,000 too high. Read the review.

Pentax K-01 (with 40mm lens, black)

Not the best camera for an amateur

The Pentax K-01's strengths lie in its use of existing standards; it's designed to use older K-mount lenses without an adapter, and uses Adobe DNG as its raw format. That, plus it has terrific photo quality. Read the review.

Canon Pixma MX372 Office All-in-One

Sensible printer for home

The Canon Pixma MX372's autodocument feeder enables hands-free scanning, and a new cartridge-loading system up front takes the work out of replacing cartridges.

LG BP620 Blu-ray player

Solid Blu-ray player for a reasonable price

If you want 3D, the LG BP620 has most of the right features, but the absence of Amazon Instant and a dedicated Netflix button hurt its value a bit. Read the review.

G-Tech G-RAID with Thunderbolt

Pricey storage

All things considered, the G-Tech G-RAID with Thunderbolt makes a decent investment for Mac owners who have the funds for a fast storage solution. Read the review.

Fujifilm X-Pro1

Poor-man's Leica

The Fujifilm X-Pro1 is a nice compromise if you can't afford a Leica but want to approximate the experience and shoot some lovely photos. Read the review.
