Harman Kardon AVR 340

In an age of home theatre, where it's possible to have a DVD player, VCR, Playstation, XBOX, set top box and a multitude of other devices all hooked up simultaneously, your poor old television may be groaning under the strain of all those cables. The...

Philips DVDR3360H

Philips' previous DVD/Hard Disk recorder, the DVDR560H, was our all time favourite in this category. So we were eager to see what Philips had done with the updated model, the 3360H. While the DVDR3360H is still just as good as its predecessor, the re...

LG LF-U850

These days it seems it's all about USB. Mobile phones, digital cameras, games consoles; you name it, they've got a USB connection. Up until fairly recently, the home entertainment world has been missing out on all the fun but has now managed to catch...

Mindscape SpongeBob Squarepants Typing

Learning to touch type isn't necessarily top of every ten year old's list of fun things to do. In fact, we'd be surprised if it was even in any ten year old's list of things to do. Learning how to type correctly may not be as useful as learning a for...

Sony DCR-DVD705

There's an interesting balance to consider in the world of DVD camcorders at the moment. Basically, they can all be lumped into two camps. On the one hand you have the small, sleek camcorders that cost about $1000. They're nice to hold, though the qu...

Grundig Ovation II

The Ovation II is another of Grundig's "lifestyle" micro CD players, representing a small step up from its sibling, the ingeniously named <a href="http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/index.php/taxid;2136212614;pid;1714;pt;1" target="new">Ovation I</a>. W...

Sony DCR-DVD805

Sitting roughly in the middle of Sony's new lineup of DVD camcorders is the DCR-DVD805. The new wave of DVD camcorders has finally managed to catch up with the performance of Mini DV tapes, at least for the most part. At the consumer level, the diffe...

Pioneer PD-F507 25 Disc CD Player

In an age where music is increasingly being found on iPods rather than the old faithful CD, it's easy to forget that most people still have dozens of these small plastic discs hanging around. One of the most convenient aspects of the iPod revolution ...

Grundig Ovation

When you wake up in the morning, we think you'll agree with us that it's not always nice to be greeted with the piercing shriek of your alarm clock. Do you also find that on a Sunday morning, you'd like to listen to some music, but the idea of going ...

Laser 5.1 Home Theatre Speakers

At the GoodGearGuide, we've recently had a whole raft of expensive home theatre systems in the office. They may be very nice, though not everyone can afford, nor wants to splash out $2000 on a set of speakers and a DVD player. If you want the thrills...

Laser USB PC Webcam

The idea of being able to hold a video conversation with someone on the other side of the world is a nice one. These days it's all too easy with the cost of webcams falling and their availability increasing. For many people, a webcam isn't going to b...

Canon DC10

Canon makes some interesting claims about the DC10 DVD camcorder.

Swann Black Knight Wireless Weather Colour Camera

We like Swann's products. They're easy to use, simple to set up and generally offer good quality at a reasonable price. The Black Knight is no exception. We really found that there was very little to dislike about this camera, especially compared to ...

Samsung VP-D3521

Digital video cameras are a great way to store precious memories for the future. The latest DVD cameras make recording incredibly simple with better quality than ever before. DVD cameras can cost a fair amount of money though, so a good budget option...

Panasonic VDR-D300

Home video cameras used to almost be as big as buses. It's easy to forget this, and worth bearing in mind. Our first reaction when picking up Panasonic's VDR-D300 was that it was quite heavy. Of course, compared to cameras produced even a few years a...
