Reviewed on August 4, 2010At its best, the Canon Vixia HF M3x series--composed of the M300, M30, M31, and M32--delivers a very good blend of video quality, features, and performance for the money, but some people may find the touch-screen interface extremely frustrating to use and the battery life painfully short. Plus, you really need to bump up to the highest bit rate quality. Of the series, the HF M300 is the best deal.TAGS:Canon Vixia, Canon Inc., camcorder, CMOS, LCD, touch screen, battery, button, photograph, video

Reviewed on January 26, 2011If you print a high volume of monochrome and color documents, the Dell 1350cnw color laser printer delivers strong results with a variety of wired and wireless networking options.

Reviewed on September 25, 2009The Lexmark Platinum Pro 905 is a fully capable all-in-one business device, but its touch screen might throw a wrench in your workflow. The Smart Solutions widgets add virtual customization to the control panel, but we wish Lexmark had retained a few hard buttons as well. As the top dog in the Lexmark printer family, the Platinum Pro 905 does the job, but the HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless does it better.TAGS:Lexmark, tray, touch screen, printer, HP OfficeJet, button, LCD, HP

It prints, scans, and copies documents, and the integrated wireless print server means you won't have a bundle of cables tangling up the office. We have a few flaws to nitpick, but otherwise Canon scores with the Pixma MP495.TAGS:Canon Pixma, cartridge, printer, LCD screen, Canon Inc., tray, printing, LCD, button
