SHINY VIDEO PREVIEW: Canon IXUS series
While Dan was mucking about with the Powershots, Susi took a shine to the IXUS range. Her conclusions are in the video above, but can basically be summed up as “more of the same with some gimmicky features”. Thanks to its svelte profile, her favourite of the lot is the 100IS.
SHINY VIDEO PREVIEW: Canon PowerShot range
Yesterday, Dan got to check out Canon’s PowerShot range of cameras in person in Soho. You can see his thoughts in the video above – the conclusion of which is basically “they’re alright”. His favourite was the SX200 thanks to the decent zoom, wide angle lens and fully manual operation.
At the same event, Susi got her hands on Canon’s IXUS range. I’ll have that video up momentarily.
SHINY VIDEO REVIEW: Nikon D300 DSLR – ageing but still beautiful
I like to be testing out one camera or another just about all the time but the one I’ve probably been most reluctant to let go of is the Nikon D300 prosumer DSLR. It’s got the kind of great ISO range you’d expect and I barely had to ruin my shots at all by having to resort to the flash. I’m not much good with the flash. Here’s what else I thought…
Shiny Video Reivew: iMu Vibrating Speaker
Yes, it looks like a stunted dildo. But this isn’t a dildo. It’s the previously reported-upon iMu “Singing Table” that’ll turn any surface you place it on into a speaker. Awesome, right? Shame it costs £50.
I know! £50! I couldn’t believe it either. Seriously, what are you going to use this thing for? Especially as it plugs in to mains power. If you can think of a situation where this would be a lifesaver, and a cheap pair of travel speakers wouldn’t, then let us know in the comments.
Shiny reaches 20 million YouTube views
Just checking the YouTube stats the other day, when I realised we have reached something of a milestone – over 20 million video views from our growing library of 1668 tech and fashion videos.

SHINY PREVIEW: Toshiba TG01 snapdragon smartphone
You’ve read the specs, now see it in action. This, tech heads and gentlemen, is the Toshiba GT01 touchscreen smartphone that is poised to knock the socks off one and all when it hits the shelves this summer. Yes, it’s got a decent camera; yes, it records video; yes, it had Bluetooth and yes…
SHINY PREVIEW: Philips 21:9 Cinema Super-Widescreen LCD
News of the Philips Cinema 21:9 TV splatted out onto the web about two weeks earlier than the Dutch masters would have liked, so the event yesterday afternoon was always going to be a little underwhelming. All the same, we sent Susi down to brave the canapes and bring us back what few extra details Philips were prepared to share, as well as a little footage of the sucker too.
SHINY VIDEO REVIEW: Lucy plays backgammon on the LG KF300
It’s not all dream phones and gadgets you can’t afford in this, the Chinese New Year of the credit crunch ox. No. That’s why we sent Shiny Shiny‘s Lucy out to take the LG KF300 out for a spin, or the “Big Flipper” as she called it. Don’t ask…
SHINY VIDEO REVIEW: Asus Eee PC S101 – the heavenly netbook with the Achilles' heel from hell
Yeah, bit of a shame that I can’t stand the Asus Eee PC S101 purely because of one key but there you have it. Were it not for that I’d probably be entranced. It’s a lovely netbook to look at…
