Reviewed on March 19, 2010The Lexmark Interact S605 multifunction device prints, scans, copies, and connects wirelessly with a streamlined user experience facilitated by an easy-to-use touch screen and customizable widgets called "SmartSolutions."

Reviewed on June 23, 2010Panasonic's quartet of entry-level HD camcorders--the HDC-HS60, TM60, TM55, and SD60--delivers a nice manual feature set and good performance, as well as solid video quality for their class. As long as you don't pay list price, the SD60 is a great value, and if possible, avoid paying the unnecessary price premium for the hard drive in the HS60.TAGS:Panasonic, switch, camcorder, connector, design, LCD, hard drive, photograph, video
Reviewed on April 7, 2010Its 3D is still a work in progress and its 2D picture quality comes up short of the best available, but the high-end Samsung UNC8000 series still offers superb features, solid performance, and unique style.TAGS:3D TV, Samsung Electronics, picture quality, 3D, 2D, TV, light-emitting diode, LCD, firmware

Reviewed on May 28, 2010The flash-based Panasonic HDC-TM700 and its hard-disk sibling, the HDC-HS700, stand out for their low-light video quality and broad set of manual controls. However, while the TM700 is very attractively priced for its class, the HS700 is not, and not worth the price premium unless you absolutely need the hard disk.TAGS:Panasonic, camcorder, LCD, battery, hard drive

Reviewed on August 5, 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
