DVD, as easy as 1-2-3

In today's paper, read about Sony's €769 DCR-DVD92, part of its camcorder range which records directly to DVD. The notion is not without its caveats but it's a fantastically simple way for technophobes to store treasured memories in an easily distributable form. Just beware the cost of the recording media.

It's also great to finally find a cameraphone which doesn't disgrace itself on the picture front. Sony Ericsson's K750i (from €130 with contract) is a fab little phone with two megapixels of photo goodness built in. It's more than that too but the camera is well worth it alone.

In games, Battlefield 2 (PC) is reviewed and proves itself a worthy successor to the two (yes, two, this one should really be BF3) previous installments of vehicular/infantry-based warfare. Even the single-player is a blast but it's miles better online. And for Xbox, Conker: Live and Reloaded is a peculiar remake of an old N64 classic. The single-player outstays its welcome with too many cut-scenes while the multiplayer over Xbox Live has a steep learning curve from which many may not recover.
