Test drive and video review of the all new Peugeot 208

Peugeot 208 is a modern looking car

Peugeot 208 test drive and review. As one of the leaders in the small cars segment Peugeot is always pushing the limits of its small vehicles. No matter if we take a look at the design or the technology Peugeot's superminis are always one step ahead of the competitions. Even top German brands are struggling to take part in this overcrowded segment but without great success.
The Peugeot 208 is a supermini, positioned in the B-segment.
The 208, developed under code name A9, will be built on the PSA PF1 platform. The weight is to be reduced by 173kg compared to the outgoing 207 and still offers more space than its predecessor.
The exterior of the Peugeot 208 is bold and aggressive and looks very modern. The design of this vehicle will definitely better suit to women rather than man but it is a great car for young people as well.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX10V review

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX10V review. Some time ago we reviewed the Cyber-Shot DSC-HX9V and we liked it a lot. Actually it was one of the best point and shoot digital cameras we've come upon.
Now there is a new model which claims to be even better, so lets take a closer look at the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX10V digital camera.

Main features
The DSC-HX10V has 1/2.3-inch Super HAD CCD image sensor and 18.2 million effective pixels. With the huge 16x optical zoom you won't have to worry about distance. That's one of the highest ever zoom lenses inserted in a compact camera. This zoom is just amazing for such a small device. And if this is not enough you can always try the 32x digital zoom.
Of course you can zoom in and out until recording your FULL HD videos and not worry about the sound of the zoom motor cause it is almost completely silent in the Cyber-Shot DSC-HX10V.
There is only one thing that we will tell you about the shooting modes in Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX10V - it has them all and 3D sweep panoramas and shooting in low light conditions are coming out more than fine with this camera.
The image processing is provided by the Sony's BIONZ image processing system which converts the raw image data from a CCD or CMOS image sensor into the chosen format.
And of course the DSC-HX10V has Sony G Lens which will provide the best brightness for your photos with the amazing light gathering capability of this camera.
The 1080p FULL HD videos recorded with the Cyber-Shot DSC-HX10V come out great and have maximum resolution of 1,920 x 1,080/50i.
