Navman Panoramic Review

Review: Navman Panoramic

What do you want from a modern car sat nav? How big should the screen be?

These are questions that the Navman Panoramic drives home as you eye up its attention-grabbing 7-inch display, along with: will this even fit in my car?

Don't worry on the last one - thanks to an excellent car mounting system, it will.

Modern sat navs are facing a rising challenge from smartphones, including, as well as some tablets. One way of protecting the market from these young upstarts is to focus on what dedicated sat navs do best.

Another is to push the concept of the sat nav, and the Navman Panoramic falls into the latter camp, boasting the largest screen of any sat nav.

The display itself measures a healthy 6-inches by 3.5-inches (producing a 7-inch diagonal), although the chassis does add an extra one and three quarter inches onto the width and an inch onto the height (or if you'd prefer, 195mm x 115mm).

Add in the 20mm thickness and you have a surprisingly bulky unit - not something you'd want to carry everywhere with you.

 
Packard Bell OneTwo L Review

Review: Packard Bell OneTwo L

All-in-one PCs should be a big success.

By combining all the power and flexibility of a desktop computer into a slim and stylish form factor that included a monitor, all-in-one PCs such as the and could have been the Windows-based answer to the .

Instead, they're regarded more as pale imitations that are underpowered, cumbersome and neither as desirable as an iMac or as robust as a desktop PC.

The new Packard Bell OneTwo L enters this market with both an opportunity and a challenge: to finally be an all-in-one PC that is worthy of a space in our homes, be it in the living room, bedroom or study. But can it pull it off?

One of the most common criticisms of all-in-one PCs is their lack of power. While their small form means that multiple graphics cards and overclocked processors are a no-no, it also means that upgrading components is a far more fiddly process than with standard desktop PCs.

This means that they need components that are future-proof, so your new all-in-one won't seem out of date and slow only a year or so down the line.

 
Fuji X-S1 Review

Review: Fuji X-S1

Always liked the idea of an all-in-one camera with a massive zoom capability, but hated the often all too-plastic feel? Fuji's X-S1 may, nay will, cause you to re-evaluate the humble .

Whereas Fuji has previously applied an 'X' - its signifier of a premium camera - to the Leica-like , for the first time it gives a superzoom that same distinction.

This means that the new 26x optical zoom Fuji X-S1 figuratively sits above the existing and HS30 models, even though the latter boast 30x zoom (maximum 720mm telephoto setting in 35mm terms).

While the construction of all three Fuji HS models to date has for us been more solid than any competing bridge camera, the Fuji X-S1 takes build quality to a new level. It looks and even smells gorgeous, thanks to a rubberised coating adorning the entire DSLR-like body.

 
SMDV Flash Wave III Review

Review: SMDV Flash Wave III

The SMDV Flash Wave III is a wireless system for triggering flashguns and studio lights, as well as for tripping a camera's shutter.

The system comprises a transmitter and receiver: for flash use the former sits on the camera's hotshoe, while the latter either connects to studio lights or accepts a flashgun inside its built-in hotshoe.

For remote shooting, the receiver simply plugs into a camera's remote port, leaving you free to operate the transmitter from wherever is necessary.
