DJI OSMO POCKET

FORGET your hi-def 4K HDR gaming consoles – the old ones really are the best.

Pick up mini versions of these two classics for way less than you would have paid for them back in the day, and marvel at the majesty of proper games that bear no resemblanc­e to real life whatsoever. Really, though, this could be the best money you ever spend – both consoles come with some classic games built-in – the Playstatio­n has the likes of Grand Theft Auto, Rayman, Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy VII, while the SNES system offers great games like Super Mario World, The Legend Of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Super Mario Kart.

THE Paperwhite was already the best value for money e-reader you could buy – it has an unrivalled library of books available to read on a beautifull­y crisp and sensitivel­y lit screen.

The Oasis is a better device, but is also much more expensive – its killer feature, though, is that it’s waterproof, which gave it the edge over the Paperwhite… until now.

Amazon has just released an update which gives the cheaper Kindle a waterproof housing, too. Now we can go back to reading in the bath and by the pool.

Happy days are here again.

SO new it didn’t make the deadline for last week’s Sound and Vision gift guide, Osmo’s new camera is so good we just had to squeeze it in this week.

It’s a hand-held video camera. I know, you think smartphone­s did for those years ago. And so they did, but the Osmo Pocket is different – it features an absolutely sensationa­l three-axis gimbal stabilisat­ion, which ensures super smooth footage no matter how rough the ride.
