But Canon fit a full-frame sensor into its new 6D—and offered camera buyers a pro-level detail at a price tag we've never seen before. Does it make the 6D worth buying? Read More >>

Games on Android have gotten really, really good. With phones regularly packing in 1.5GHz quad-core processors and 2GB of RAM, the games are fast approaching console-quality. The one thing holding them back? Touchscreen controls aren't nearly as good as a handheld controller. The MOGA Mobile Gaming System aims to kill that. With a head-shot. Read More >>

"Android camera." It doesn't even sound like a real thing. That's why the Samsung Galaxy Camera could easily have been a nonsense concept — two desirable things hurled together in hopes that the result will be a revolutionary hybrid, and not a catastrophe. Read More >>

Sony seems content with rolling out endless variations on its popular line of mirrorless cameras. The final one for 2012, the NEX-6, fills out the pricier end between the NEX-5R and the NEX-7, but can it find a foothold to thrive among so many siblings? Read More >>

Hailing from a country a good day's flight away, I've become pretty familiar with the various "entertainment systems" (if you can call some of them that) airlines offer their passengers.

The Mac Mini has always been that runt you might buy if you couldn't afford any other Apple computer. Which is to say: it was the Apple computer you bought when you should've picked up a budget Dell or something. No longer. The 2012 model is a fantastic, affordable, and small. Read More >>

It can help you get more out of your TV package—but will it be worth it, when it finally goes on sale here in the UK? Read More >>

Over the last year, Sony's NEX cameras have been our favourite of the compact, mirrorless lot. They just handle so well. And on a small camera with big features and DSLR, the way you hold, adjust, and operate it makes a huge difference. Sony's update to its middle-of-the-line NEX series, the NEX-5R, handles beautifully. And with a tweaked body design and a new, faster hybrid autofocus, it's an improvement on its predecessor, the NEX-5N. Should you spring for it? Read More >>

Dyson's in the process of taking its super-suction power and shrinking its vacuums down to fit in with modern, compact life. First out of the gate was the handheld DC44, which we loved.
