It is easy to use and practically fool-proof if you spend a couple hours with a RW single layer disc and tinker around a bit.

Let's start with the Samsung player. Nice box, nice packaging. You pull the BD-P1000 out of said packaging and it looks pretty badass. Love the lines. It's a much nicer looking player than Toshiba's HD-A1, though it's lighter and feels a little less solid. The BD-P1000's remote is nicer too... not backlit unfortunately, but it feels better in your hand and the buttons are laid out more conveniently.

Tested : 10 Stabilised Digital Cameras

Published by Newsfactory 0

The most important improvement of the year for compact digital cameras is image stabilization. It used to be Panasonic?s trademark but they are no longer the only one. All manufacturers now use image stabilization at least for one of their camera. For example Canon has released the first Ixus / PowerShot with image stabilization, the 800-IS / SD700. Nikon released two cameras, the Coolpix P3 and P4 which are in fact the same camera at the exception of the Wifi compatibility for the second. About surprising performances, there is the 26 mm thick Ricoh that has 7x optical zoom! Or even the 16 mm thick only Casio EX-S600. Panasonic also improved their products. Their latest FX01 has a 28 mm wide angle.
