Sponsored post: Fall in love with the Sony Cyber-shot T10
Love is in the air. It's that time of year again where men everywhere realise they should probably start thinking about a Valentine's gift for their loved one. And then leave it to the last minute anyway, and turn up at your door on 14th Feb with a dog-eared Crocus from your neighbour's garden, and a half-eaten Cadbury's Flake. Bless 'em.
But then who needs flowers, chocolate or expensive jewellery? Surely it's far more 21st Century to give your loved one a more high-tech gift for Valentine's Day? Note, this doesn't mean an e-card. Trust us.
Whether you're giving or receiving, a gadget makes a marvellous romantic gift (plus, either way you get to play with it). And this is particularly true of digital cameras.
Just think of the love-filled moments you can capture with it. The smile on your other half's face as you share a spring-day picnic. Those cheery snaps where you hold the camera at arm's length to squeeze both of your faces into shot. Their bum after you've drawn a face on it. And so on.
So what cam would make the perfect Valentine's gift this year? How about Sony's Cyber-shot T10? With 7.2 effective megapixels and 3x optical zoom, it's more than capable of capturing looks of love, sexy things and ladies in red wherever you see them.
Nothing's more of a passion-killer than having your batteries run out mid-date, but the T10 gives 250 shots from a single charge. And if you go as weak at the wrists as you do at the knees when you see your special someone, the cam's anti-blur technology ensures you can still get a sharp shot.
So forget the chocs, the spangly rings and the dozen red roses. The T10 should be at the top of your Valentine's list this year!

Sponsored post: Winter sports action with the Sony Cyber-shot T10
Oh, woe. Woe. It’s cold outside and the skies are grey. You’re several pounds heavier following the Christmas splurge. And worst of all, you’re back at work, where everyone else is JUST as miserable as you. January ain’t fun.
This is exactly why skiing was invented. Well, one of the reasons, anyway. Getting away for a long weekend crashing down the slopes before drinking all night and snogging posh men called Rory is just the antidote to the seasonal slump.
Along with toasty ski-pants, cool shades and a gallon of sun-block, a decent digital camera is an essential accessory if you’re heading off on a skiing or snowboarding holiday this month.
Partly for proof that, yes, you did manage to stand up on a pair of skis. At least for a few seconds. And also to capture the thrilling scenery (note: this means the actual scenery, not the dancefloor of your resort’s most debauched club).
Meet the Sony Cyber-shot T10, which combines style and power in a cam that you won’t be ashamed to be seen with on the slopes. Its 7.2 effective megapixels and 3x optical zoom will provide snaps as clear as the winter air, while its light weight ensure it won’t slow down your slaloming fun.
Cold hands? Don’t worry, built-in anti-blur technology eliminates the dreaded camera shake, while you can expect 250 shots from a single battery charge, ensuring you won’t be stuck at the top of a mountain staring a Yeti in the eye, but no juice left to capture it.
There’re nine pre-set Scene Selection modes too, including a Snow mode that’s made for these situations, ensuring the snow is as powdery white in your pics as it is in real life. Don’t take pictures of yellow snow though, it’s not nice.
Plus, for those daredevil stunts (i.e. your friends trying to jump over a small hillock and landing on their noses), the T10 is as good for shooting video, even when the lighting conditions aren’t perfect.

Sponsored post: Capture that Christmas magic with the Sony Cyber-shot T10
Christmas is a magical time for all the family. Uncle Frank falling asleep face-down in his sprouts. A rogue finger finding its way into the roast after a turkey-carving mishap. And endless questions on when you're going to finally get married to / have babies with / divorce that nice young man / horrible bastard of yours (delete as appropriate).
Okay, so the annual family get-together isn't always a barrel of laughs. But think of the good bits too. The delighted look on your little nephew's face as he unwraps his shiny new PSP (followed by the aghast expression on Grandma's face when he explains Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories to her). The sheer unfettered joy provoked by cracker jokes. Your dog knocking over the Christmas tree. Then weeing on it.
Look, we're not selling it well. You'd be forgiven for decamping to a beach somewhere sultry (i.e. not Great Yarmouth) to escape the whole shebang. But either way, Christmas is bound to throw up a host of sparkling photo opportunities. So, in a dream world, what digital camera would be sitting under the tree with your name on it?
May we suggest Sony's Cyber-shot T10? Available in hot pink or stylish silver, its 7.2 megapixels and triple zoom are great for capturing all the festive frolics. Its slideshow feature lets you connect it to your TV for a (much more) interesting alternative to the Queen's speech, while the fact that you can squeeze 250 photos out of a single battery charge means you won't be competing for power socket space with everyone else's new gadgets come Boxing Day.
Plus it has nine pre-set Scene Selection modes, including Snow (you won't be needing this at Christmas, obviously), Fireworks (what happens when your dad gets back from the pub too late for the start of Christmas dinner), and Beach (see our advice above).
All in all, it's the perfect Christmas gift. Yes, even better than that Il Divo or Cliff Richard album. But you knew that already. Didn't you?

Sponsored post: Why Yule love the Sony T10 Cyber-shot digital camera
It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid. Well, not unless you've got an office party coming up, where a drunken desire to throw their arms around the world has gotten many a reveller into trouble.
You know the score. Paper hats. Industrial quantities of cheap wine. Sprouts. Then the musical act your company booked to play turns out to be a seventh-rate Bucks Fizz tribute band. Or Chico. And THEN your boss hits the dancefloor...
At times like this, you have two choices. Option 1: guzzle your own bodyweight in alcohol, cast your dignity aside, and end up splashed all over the Web the next day in a series of career-threatening poses. Or option 2: much the same, but you ensure you have a powerful digital camera to hand. You still get to drink'n'dance, but the next morning it's you who's logging into Flickr with a glint in your eye.
Sony's Cyber-shot T10 camera may be just the ticket. It's compact and unobtrusive, but its 7.2 megapixels and triple zoom will ensure you capture all those magic moments (i.e. Roy from Accounts doing his Ricky Martin impression).It's also the perfect party-cam, boasting double anti-blur, ace low-light sensitivity, and pocket-sized dimensions.
And because it's available in hot pink, it accessorizes like a dream. Well, it does if you're wearing pink...
