Buyer's Guide 2012: Our Pick of the Best Products

Over the last six months, the DigitalVersus lab has tested more products than you could shake a stick at! With the first half of 2012 behind us, we thought it was a good time to take stock of what's new and what's hot in this year's consumer tech market with an updated buyer's guide.


Finding What You're Looking For

First of all, we've picked a handful of top products to suit four different user profiles—Budget Tech, Hipster, Early Adopter, Tough Cookie.

Then, you'll find a separate buyer's guide for each type of product, with one star model (our Editor's Choice) and a selection of other suggested devices that stand out for various reasons. Plus, you'll find options for all tastes and budgets.

With compact cameras, SLRs, camcorders, TVs, latest-generation sat navs, tablets, headphones, smartphones, laptops, netbooks, Blu-ray players and more, there's something for everyone!
