Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ48 review Builds on the excellent FZ45 with 1080p videos, faster performance and a more modest sensor resolution

Pentax Optio S1 review A competent low-cost camera with an impressive set of features, but paying just a little more brings big benefits

Samsung WB700 review Comprehensive manual controls and a generous 18x zoom, but it can't compete for image quality or performance

Samsung NX11 review Sublime controls and a keen price, but it can't match the front runners for photo or video quality

Honestech Claymation Studio 3.0 Deluxe review It could be a lot more polished, but the sheer fun of stop-motion animation makes it a great way to while away the summer holidays

Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Not much has changed since CS5, but the mobile tools are interesting. Keen app developers should consider an upgrade

ACDSee Pro 4 review Photo management and raw processing that's both fast and powerful; a handful of niggles keep it from an award

Samsung ST95 review A slim, touchscreen camera with some fun features, but image quality is bettered by many cheaper cameras

Olympus SZ-30MR review Olympus has maxed out the specifications, particularly with the 24x zoom, but it also gets the basics right

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF3 review Extremely compact and luxurious, takes gorgeous photos and videos but currently looks overpriced next to the Sony NEX range

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 review A highly capable, lightweight alternative to an SLR, but image quality isn't flawless and we miss its predecessor’s more hands-on controls

Steinberg Cubase Elements 6 review Too complex for casual users and possibly too restricted for ambitious ones, but its elegance and sophistication far exceed expectations

Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 review Solid improvements to an already outstanding program that combines illustration, DTP, image editing and animation in a friendly interface

Nikon Coolpix S9100 review A compact ultra-zoom camera that copes well in low light is a rare treat; excellent videos and a superb screen round it out nicely

Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11 review Existing users needn't rush to upgrade, but Sony's low-cost video editor still dominates for its precision and sheer speed of use
