Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FP8 is solid and stylish but has some design quirks

Panasonic's small 1080p LCD TV has impressive image quality and useful integrated features

Panasonic, Samsung and LG take out top honours
There have been some interesting changes in the plasma television market in 2009 — most significantly the shock departure of Pioneer, previously the undisputed leader in terms of picture quality.

Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FZ35 lets you fine-tune photos and video
The relatively compact Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 is quite simply one of the best fixed-lens cameras out there for both stills and HD video.
