Nikon D60 Review   4

Gavin Stoker

Nikon’s entry-level D40x has been reborn as the D60, which boasts a 10-megapixel maximum resolution and a dust-prevention system. This feature was sorely missing on the otherwise excellent D40x and now brings Nikon into line with competitors.

ConceptDraw Pro 7 Review   5 Editors Choice

Macworld team

ConceptDraw is a tricky pitch to newcomers. We’re used to a paradigm of design tools that neatly divides them into vector packages, bitmap editors, CAD and 3D modellers. ConceptDraw is probably best described as a plan-creation package – a tool for creating charts and diagrams.

Mark Hattersley and Jason Snell

It is possible to purchase a build-to-order MacBook Air with the faster, 1.8GHz processor but the 80GB PATA hard drive. Macworld takes a closer look in its MacBook Air 1.8GHz 80GB review.

Mark Hattersley and Jason Snell

zCover TypeOn Keyboard Protector Review   4

Macworld team

zCover is perhaps best known for making a living out of silicon-based skins for various products (iPhones, iPods, and other gadgetry). However, the company also does an interesting sideline in protective keyboard covers.

Freeway 5 Review   5 Editors Choice

Macworld team

The first version of Freeway, back in 1997, entered a drag-and-drop web authoring market with few real competitors. Adobe had PageMill, Macromedia had yet to launch Dreamweaver and Microsoft’s web strategy was still in flux. Back then, we lauded Freeway for its design-centred approach to page building, offering a DTP style workflow aimed squarely at non-coders.

Propellerheads Reason 4 Review   4

Richard Leon

Reason’s virtual rack format was a big hit when it appeared in 2000. The idea of emulating a customisable rack full of synthesizers, drum machines and audio effects had instant appeal, because it was so easy to understand. Since then, Reason has kept the core model and added new featu

Firmtek Seritek/5PM Review   5 Editors Choice

Cliff Joseph

Firmtek’s SeriTek/5PM enclosure is an excellent option for users in fields such as audio or video-editing who want to use RAID systems to improve performance or provide additional data security. And, usefully, it also supports JBOD – ‘just a bunch of disks’ – so that you can simply add lots of external hard disks to your Mac system.

Pantone Color Cue 2 Review   3

Nick Spence

Since its acquisition by X-Rite last year, Pantone now offers a dazzling and occasionally perplexing array of colour measurement and management tools. Everyone from serious enthusiast to dedicated pro is catered for. The Pantone Color Cue 2 is aimed at a broad range of professional users, and attempts to take the guesswork out of colour matching and identification.

Microsoft Expression Media Review   3

Cliff Joseph

Expression Media is based on iView, an old Mac program that Microsoft bought way back in 2006. It’s an asset-management program that allows you to catalogue and organise large collections of digital media files.

Sony HDR-TG3 Review   5 Editors Choice

Mark Hattersley

Sony is selling the HDR-TG3 as "the world's smallest and lightest high definition camcorder", and this dinky model certainly lives up to that claim. We take a closer look at this superb new camcorder.

BannerZest Pro Review   5 Editors Choice

Karl Hodge

No regular web user is particularly keen on banners; especially the noisy, animated type that distract you from browsing. While it’s possible to use BannerZest Pro to create exactly the type of intrusive advertising that makes people reach for an imaginary sledgehammer, it’s much more than that.

Sonnet Fusion F2 Review   4 Editors Choice

Richard Leon

Storage gets smaller and cheaper all the time. Sonnet’s Fusion F2 RAID array is tiny – slightly wider than a CD case, around 20 per cent deeper, and as thick as the bottom half of a MacBook Pro with the lid open. It also weighs very little. Visually it’s not quite as slick as an Apple product, but doesn’t exactly look shabby either.

NEC 20WGX2 Pro Review   4

Richard Leon

Originally aimed at gamers, the 20WGX2 Pro is now trying to get more mass-marker interest. First impressions suggest there’s nothing special about the design. With a thin silver bezel and black plastic hardware it’s not trying to stand out, and the on-screen display (OSD) controls and buttons don’t add to the effect. But it’s easy to forgive the slightly awkward styling when it’s powered up.

SoundStudio 3.5.5 Review   4

Macworld team

If open source sound editor Audacity is a little ugly for your taste and tools like Bias Peak are too rich for your needs, then SoundStudio 3.5.5 provides a compromise. Newly updated for Leopard, this is a workmanlike digital audio editor with tools for cleaning up samples, making loops, correcting equalisation and multitracking.
