Fujifilm FinePix SL1000 review An impressive spec list, but it's hard to get good results from the exceptionally long telephoto lens

Propellerhead Reason 7 review More rounded and multi-talented than ever, but it’s the quality and versatility of its synthesizers that still makes Reason stand out

Ableton Live 9 Standard review Boldly innovative at every turn, and always focused on making great music

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ40 review Image quality isn't perfect, but tons of useful features add up to a superb all-rounder

Canon Ixus 140 review A capable camera with built-in Wi-Fi, but suffers in comparison to its slightly more expensive sibling

Sony SLT-A99 review A pleasure to use and packed with innovative features, but there are a few shortcomings too

Nikon Coolpix S31 review Basic image quality and even more basic features, but the rugged design and low price are perfect for children

Sony SLT-A58 review Less unusual than previous SLT cameras but still a strong contender on all fronts, particularly for value

Nikon Coolpix S5200 review A good set of features, but rivals offer superior image quality

Canon Ixus 255 HS review Immaculate image quality is the highlight of this superb point-and-shoot camera

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX200 review Lots of great features in a tiny package, and image quality is up to scratch

Sony Vegas Pro 12 Edit review Fast, flexible and better value than ever

Sony Acid Music Studio 9 Still fast and fun, but the working methods feel dated and new features suffer from poor attention to detail

Canon EOS M review A smart design and superb photos, but autofocus performance isn't up to scratch

Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ9 review Superbly conceived with Wi-Fi and a 10x zoom, but image quality is disappointing
