Sony NEX-7 review All the usual NEX traits: outstanding image and video quality, lethargic autofocus, iffy focus from the kit lens

FXhome Hitfilm Standard review Sophisticated special effects and an elegant, responsive interface – complex, time-consuming but highly rewarding

Sony Bloggie 3D review Expensive for a Flip-style camcorder but cheap for a 3D camera – a good source of fun for anyone with a 3D TV

Magix Music Maker MX Some strong music-making features but the interface lets it down badly

Arcsoft Perfect365 review Fundamentally awful, but if you're determined to make your photos resemble the pages of OK Magazine, this is the tool to do it with

Oloneo HDRengine review Attractive HDR processing with an elegant, breathtakingly fast interface

Samsung MV800 review Image and video quality are nothing special, but a clever design and fun shooting modes make an attractive camera for social media addicts

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1 review Superb controls, lightning fast performance, slim profile and excellent (but not class-leading) image and video quality – a sublime package that's worth the high price

Steinberg Sequel 3 review A classy recording package that's packed with ready-made sounds but also offers sophisticated recording and mixing tools

Samsung NX200 review Exceptional image quality outdoors, less impressive indoors, but with superb controls it adds up to an excellent package

Nikon 1 V1 review A classy camera, but those willing to spend this much are likely to be left feeling dissatisfied

Canon PowerShot S100 review Stunning image quality for a conventional compact camera, but shot-to-shot performance and battery life just keep it from top marks

Corel MotionStudio 3D review A strong mix of off-the-shelf templates and deep editing potential, but the results lack the photorealism we'd hope for at this price

Magix Movie Edit Pro MX Plus review Not short of powerful features, but performance improvements aren't as big as we'd hoped

Nikon Coolpix P7100 review A welcome refinement to the P7000 and a pleasure to use, but the sensor isn't up to current standards at this price
