| JVC GR-D750
The final word: The GR-D750 is a solid little performer that punches well above its weight; offering impressive image quality for entry-level users. If you're on the lookout for a cheap miniDV camera, you could certainly do a lot worse than this. ON PAPER at least, the GR-D750 is the unmistakable runt of the JVC litter. With its low image resolution, rudimentary feature set and cheap looking design, we certainly weren't expecting much; yet it turns out that looks can be very deceiving. From its attractive price tag to its above average video performance, this is one of the best budget offerings we've seen in quite a while. It represents excellent value for money and is a perfect introduction to digital video - provided you can live without the bells and whistles. The GR-D750 is a standard-definition camcorder that records video to miniDV tapes.

Ion Audio Tape 2 PC USB Cassette Archiver review
The digital media revolution has impacted heavily on the music industry, and not only with the profit losses that come courtesy of illegal file sharers. Indeed, in its digital format, music has become truly portable, easily editable – and rather difficult to tangle. But however hastily we'd consign our old Jason Donovan audio cassettes to a life gathering dust at the back of a drawer, there are some tracks that we'd hate to lose in the digital takeover. It is still possible to buy cassette decks, of course, although you're likely to pay much the same price as you would for Ion Audio's Tape 2 PC. And while we've covered digitising vinyl and audio cassettes using your existing equipment before in PC Advisor, it's never been quite so easy to turn cassette to MP3 and add it to your library.
Sony's Cyber-shots get smarter
The Japanese electronics giant has joined in the pre-PMA camera frenzy with the announcement of seven new upgrade models for its T-, W-, H-, and S-series Cyber-shots.
As with other major camera manufacturers, intelligent features play a big part in Sony's latest offerings. The 10.1-megapixel T300, for instance, incorporates an intelligent scene recognition mode (iSCN) that automatically selects the optimal scene settings for shooting in different environments. The advanced iSCN options can even be customized to shoot once in the user-specified setting and another in the best setting. The W150 and W170 comes with iSCN mode, too.
