We're always keen to add new consumer electronics products to our range of reviews here at DigitalVersus.Last week, we welcomed our first laptops into our labs, and this week, it's the turn of Blu-ray disc players.
Our first pair of reviews includes one conventional player, the Samsung BD-P1500, which represents something of a coming-of-age for the manufacturer's line of HD video players.
The second machine we tested was a Sony PlayStation 3.
Arguably one of the driving forces behind the adoption of the Blu-ray standard, the PS3 has a number of other features that make it suitable for use as a multimedia system.
As ever, we've also got a comprehensive guide to the features you should look out for in our Product Survey: Blu-ray players.
Photokina 08: Geotagging from ATP

Amongst digital camera enthusiasts, Taiwanese manufacturer ATP is best known for its super-fast memory cards. Since the start of this year, though, they've also been producing a number of specialized GPS devices to automatically add location data to digital photos, 'geotagging' them.
This particular model, the Photo Finder, includes a tiny receiver which it's easy to keep in your pocket or even your camera case.
As you travel around, it keeps a record of where you go, allowing you to add geographical information to your photos after the fact.
But rather than having you match up the data on your computer later, this little box of tricks includes a memory card reader.
So, assuming the clock on your camera is accurate, all you need to do is insert your memory card and the Photo Finder will look back at your journey and automatically add location-based metadata to each photo.
Not only does this save the painstaking process of checking each photo back on your computer, it also means that your photos' metadata is accurate before you even upload your snaps, meaning you can now enjoy your geotagged photos on any platform.
The one downside is that the device doesn't work with RAW files, whose specifications vary from one manufacturer to the next.
