Advantages: Packed with extras, looks good and feels good.
Disadvantages: See review for the very minor con`s.

...Sony are one of the newest companies to venture into the world of DSLR`s, having been producing some quite excellent point and shoot cameras for many years this is a move that most people in the photography world had expected to happen a long time ago and a lot had feared the day it did happen too. The reason many photographers feared Sony entering the DSLR market is simply that it would be hard not to get drawn into what they had to offer but they feared that Sony might find the market too challenging and bale out leaving many photographers with cameras that they could not upgrade and would struggle to find lenses and accessories for. When buying a point and shoot camera you are spending in the region of between 100 and 200 pounds for a top of the range model, whilst when purchasing a DSLR camera you could be looking at spending...

Advantages: Unbelievably Clear Screen. Stylish Design. Great Keyboard
Disadvantages: No Floppy Drive. Too Little Memory. Expensive

...With the FS-115Z and their range of Vaio computers equipped with the new X-Black display screens, Sony have gone a long way towards dispelling the myth that you can't replace a desktop system with a laptop. The only reasons laptops have failed to completely eliminate desktops has been the woefully poor display technology they have been saddled with and their poor upgrade ability. I've had very many laptops through the years and have always had to resort to using a desktop with a quality monitor attached if I needed to get a lot of work done. Well now there's no real excuse for sticking with that enormous box you have stuffed under your desk, get yourself a Vaio. I did. So what did I get for my money? £1105 inc VAT. Technically most of the hardware is pretty middle-of-the-road fare. CPU This Vaio model is powered... Read review

Advantages: Useful 'Gadget' to have to if your not very good at remembering things (i.e. me). Its Sony so its well designed and Jog Dial is fantastic. Palm OS PDA is great.
Disadvantages: Its a PDA so only has a lifespan of a year unless you are satisfied with it. Memory Stick is expensive and you cant run programs from it.

...(Operating System) type of PDA’s left and even then I had so many choices. There are 3 companies that make Palm OS PDAs, which are Palm, Handspring and Sony. The choice of Palm OS PDA’s for under £100 was limited. There was the Palm 105, which was retailing at about £80 and the Handspring Visor Edge at £99. The Palm 105 didn’t appealed because it had no expandability slot to add more memory later, the screen size was too small and the unit was fairly chunky. The Handspring on the other hand was very sleek looking with an aluminium exterior but had sacrificed some usability and functionality for looks. Palm had also releases a new £80 Zire PDA but with only 2MB of memory and no expandability option, it had too little memory for loading on further applications later. The Visor Edge was my first choice, but then I realised I had the option... Read review

...INTRO I've been using Laptops now for around ten years and must say they are improving beyond belief in every way. I've owned many brands of Laptops that include Dell, Compact, IBM, HP and a Toshiba (most recent), I have always loved the Laptop concept and will now review my new beloved Sony Vaio NR10 Laptop. LOOKING FOR A NEW LAPTOP As with any other products on today's markets there is usually stiff competition and as far as Computers go it's more competitive now than ever. I began to look for a new Laptop last month in the January sales, which is the best time in my opinion as there's often big mark downs on prices and bargains to be had. Now the funny thing is I've always been a big Sony fan in every way (especially Sony Trintron TV''s) but never owned a Sony Computer or Laptop, so Sony was at the top of my list... Read review

Advantages: Very fast in transferring files, rather cheap, keeps thousands of pictures and video clips
Disadvantages: 1GB not enough for some, very small making it hard to find if lost

...I bought a Sony 1GB M2 memory card because my Sony ericcsson K770i internal memory was just not enough. The sony M2 card is very small and comes in black only I bought mine for £10 in one of those street mobile shops that unlock mobiles. I actually thought this was cheap for a Sony M2 card as you would normally find them at £15 or maybe more in electronic shops such as Comet, Pc World, Jessop's, Currys etc. The Sony M2 card comes in a thick plastic package, which has to be opened by a scissors or knife as it's hard to open by bare hands. Inside the package there are instruction on how to use the M2 card and there are some warnings on how to avoid the M2 card from being damaged. These warning are written in a few languages, for those who might not understand English perfectly. I mainly bought the M2 card to store pictures in my... Read review

...Every three or four years I tend to browse for a new computer, I think its a suitable amount of time after which to renew a computer, as not only has new technology been introduced but it also come down in price slightly. I purchased this new Sony Vaio PCV RS122 in October of 2003. Before I got it, I had a Packard Bell. It was an older model with a 6 gb harddrive and about 96 MB ram, just to familiarise you with what I was coming from and for you to realise how impressed I was with the spec of this new machine from Sony. I made my purchase as part of a package and had it home within hours. To start with I'll give a quick introduction to the specification. Its a 2.4Ghz Pentium 4 processor, and thus very fast, with 512MB RAM and an 80Gb hard drive. Its a cool unit finished in silver and makes the perfect addition to the home... Read review

Disadvantages: MIGHT MAKE YOU DEAF

...LOOKING FOR SOME HEADPHONES Two years ago I was looking around for some decent headphones to replace my old Technics (which went beyond sellotape repair). At the time I had no interest in wireless headphones as I thought it would not deliever the same bass response or clarity as the conventional corded plug-in headphones. So after browsing up and down the High Street I came across two types of wireless headphones (Philips and Sony) in Dixons and decided to try them both out. The Philips unit was good for the sound but a bit clumsy whilst wearing it on my head (looked like a cyberman from Dr Who) which left me with the Sony MDRRF 815K. The first thing I noticed about the Sony headphones was that it was a lot more compact and lightweight compared with the bulky Philips and also upon listening to the headphones whilst in Dixons...

..., MiniDisc users are no longer stuck with real-time recordings, but can use a computer to transfer an hour's worth of music in just a few minutes. After a long search I finally decided for a stationary Sony MiniDisc deck to add to my Sony QS home stereo system and a matching Sony MZ-N710 MiniDisc Walkman to take along when leaving the house. First impressions The MZ-N710 is Sony's middle range NetMD MiniDisc recorder/player, mainly aimed towards the European market. Here in London, the price is still pretty steep and I suppose many presumptive buyers with limited budget will shy away from spending that amount of money for such a small device. Blank discs are also a bit pricey when compared to blank CD's, but nowhere near as horrendously expensive as memory cards. The player comes in two different flavors - blue and silver. I...
