Special menus explain what each of the camera’s four scene modes do, each selected using a small dial positioned to fall nicely under the right thumb. The scene modes on offer are portrait, self-portrait, night scene and landscape. You also get a fun movie mode offering 320 x 240 movies with sound and recording to the limit of the xD Picture card storage. Exposure control is run through an accomplished Program Auto exposure mode that provides true point-and-shoot ease of use.

PictBridge support allows shots to printed off directly from any compatible printers without the need to transfer pictures to a PC first.

The 3x zoom lens has an unremarkable 38-114mm focal range, but it’s more than adequate for this camera’s typical user and has a respectably fast F2.9 maximum aperture. The C-370’s stand-out feature has to be its great 2cm macro mode. It works well and provides stunning, frame-filling close-up capability.

However, there are a couple of problems. The most irritating is the lack of a custom set-up feature that allows you to set the camera for repeated use within the same mode; it always ‘resets’ back to the default settings. This means you have to repeatedly set the camera up again, each time you turn it on - even the quality setting isn’t retained.

The box that the MX Duo comes in seems fairly heavy at first; surely a keyboard and a mouse can’t weigh this much? The package design is quite pleasing to the eye, giving you the necessary details to discern the specifications briefly.

Upon opening the box, you have another box, and upon opening this, you can pull out all the components for your wireless setup. This includes the keyboard, mouse, charging station, AC/DC adaptor, keyboard wrist rest, USB to PS/2 converter, the batteries, and the manual/software.

The way the contents are packed into the box is perfect, and provides adequate protection during transit/delivery, just in case there’s a few bumps and knocks along the way.
