  • Fantastic little easy to use camera for kids of all ages :)

    My son is nearly 3 and he LOVED this camera. He is always trying to get his hands on our camera so having his own has been great. He has not put it down since it arrived. His hands were a little small and it did take him a while to get the hang of using it and he loves the little carry case it comes in. He has been running around with it and being a lively 3 year old it has been dropped a couple of times and surprisingly it has not broken and still works perfectly. The only suggestion I would have is to include a wrist strap 🙂 I would highly recommend this camera.

  • A fun Xmas present every pre-teen boy will love

    Dick Smith’s Hot Wheels Digital Camera comes in a practical & cool carry case that instantly appealed to my 10yr old son.
    I was impressed by the overall look& packaging of the camera but surprised it is so lightweight. I would be concerned about it being dropped
    It was very easy to use. The instructions were clear & simple to understand.(Once I figured out that we needed to unscrew the battery compartment) My son had it all figured out in no time. We only needed to read the instructions for the ‘continuous shooting’ mode – Burst snapshot.
    The quality of the pictures is average – for a childrens camera. Superior quality photos is not essential as children don’t care about that- they just love snapping away with their ‘own’ camera and being able to make thier own short video clips.
    Overall, it’s a winner in my opinion. It looks cool and fun & it performs well.
    My son loves having his very own camera & he is still showing it off to his friends.

  • Love the case and the changeable covers, lightweight!

    Loved the case it came in, great for storage and helps to prevent damage, the tin case has an easy carry handle.
    My 8 year old just loved that he could inter change the front face with various pictures of 3 cars from the Hot Wheels range.
    While the camera is very lightweight and feels a bit plasticky was pleasantly surprised with the clear screen for the snaps he took as well as after uploading them. Was a bit difficult opening it up to put the batteries in and wish it came with a charger that I could connect to an electrical socket like a phone rather than batteries.
    My son had no problem figuring out how to use it by himself and just needed a bit of help with downloading the pics and installing the software. He is very excited that he can use the camera to shoot still pictures to make into a short animated movie(for which he has the software already). Very reasonably priced too perfect for a Christmas or birthday gift!
    The play and delete button with icons on it made it simple and easy for him to understand and use.

  • Hot Wheels fans would love this!

    A fabulous gift for a hot wheels fan – or even a child that isn’t a fan! It’s their very own camera and they can change the look of it as often as they like with the interchangeable plates! Great creation!

  • Suprisingly good!

    The packaging is impressive and the tin a practical addition. I must admit though, I did think it very light and plastic when I picked it up…. however, given its plasticy feel it is surprisingly efficient and had all the features I expected, and more! Still shots, video, strap for little hands and the ability to upload your pics. Includes an installation CD and interchangeable covers. This would suit a budding photographer 6+ yrs, as my younger one found it a little difficult to navigate the function buttons. I have to also admit that its lightweight and compact appeal led me to taking it on my office Christmas dinner, perfect pics and it fit nicely into my clutch bag! The kids may have to fight me for it!

  • A great present for a Hot Wheels Fan.

    The camera comes in a great presented carry case with interchangable faces. FIrst impressions the camera looks really cool and grabbed my young sons attention. The camera itself feels a bit ‘cheap’ I would be hesitant to give to a younger child as I fear if it is dropped on tiles or outside I don’t think it would fare so well. I feel the RRP price of $39.95 is not great value for the product, and the price Dick Smith have on line is better value. As others have said the quality of the pictures on the screen are not great, but they do download to a great quality, have not seen how they ‘print’. One issue I found was when putting the batteries in – they are held by one small screw, unlike other electronic things where you put batteries in you have a latch or something to secure the lid before putting screws in. This did not so you had 3 batteries pushing up against the lid while trying to do up the small screw, so there is a lot of pressure pressing up against the lid.

    My son is only 6yrs old and he found the buttons on the back a bit ‘stiff’ – something that obviously will become losser with use. I like how you can download the pictures with having to load the CD onto your computer.

  • Great packaging, easy to use, the kids love it

    We love the packaging it comes in and that the battery cover is attached (therefore hard to lose). Great for taking pictures during the day in good light. Although the pictures don’t look great on the preview screen, the look much better once downloaded on the computer. And we didn’t need to install the software to be able to download the pictures onto the computer.

  • A great technologicak gift for a child with a fun and practical side.

    My daughter (yes a tomboy) was so excited to get the Hot Wheels camera. It is perfect for little hands and the LCD display is a great size for the kids to view. Easy to delete crappy photos to make room for new ones. I love the carry case and my daughter slept with the camera last night. The interchangable faces are nice, so they can pick their favourite colour or car. It has already beenn dropped a few times, as kids do, but no damage at all, so I would say built to hold up against toddlers. The battery case has a small screw which I love so that batteries don’t get removed.

    Kids love using cameras and this is a perfect mini sized camera for the kids to use on Christmas day!

For lighter wines that still taste like the real deal, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened range is quickly becoming a go-to. These bottles bring all the flavour with noticeably less alcohol, which is why everyone’s falling in love with them.

Best SIPS’ Chapel Hill Enlightened Wines review team put the Rosé and Pinot Grigio through their paces, and the feedback was unanimous: both are fresh, light and perfect for summer sipping without the unwanted morning crogginess.

A rosé with summer written all over it

Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Rosé is bright, crisp and fruity, hitting all the right notes without tipping into the “too sweet” zone. It’s the kind of bottle you reach for at a casual barbecue or any get-together where you want something delicious but easygoing.

It’s exactly this balance of lightness and full flavour in an affordable bottle that has so many fans raving.

“Light, refreshing and honestly just feels like a little moment of peace in a glass. The flavour is this perfect mix of crisp + fruity without being too sweet — literally the kind of rosé you can sip while you finally sit down after a long day.”

Women trying Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé.
A summer staple … on the lighter side

“Too many of these low alcohol wines just don’t taste enough like the real deal-but this is a sure fire exception. Beautifully refreshing, with a touch of sweetness that’s not overwhelming. A gorgeous colour too, which is a bonus- after all, we also drink either our eyes! Add into the mix a reasonable price point- this rose is a winner!”

“I love a nice glass of Rosé and the Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé did not disappoint! It’s really light and refreshing and tastes like a really expensive wine. I love that this wine is really affordable, so I can enjoy a beautiful Rosé without breaking the bank more often. Definitely give this one a try!”

If your warm-weather wine rack needs an affordable new staple, this is it.

A Pinot Grigio you’ll be buying again (and again!)

For the white lovers, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Pinot Grigio is a solid everyday white that ticks all the boxes: crisp, clean, food-friendly and affordable.

Our taste-testers repeatedly praised how balanced and versatile it feels, whether chilled on its own or alongside simple meals and casual gatherings.

“We love a white to pair with our spring/summer lunches and especially our seafood. This option ticked all the boxes …”

A versatile sip you’ll keep reaching for

“I enjoyed the first sip to the last of this Pinot. Anything with pear and citrus is something I want to try and this lived up to that, but with a lighter alcohol content – which I appreciate! Enjoyed over dinner, it paired really nicely with the food I was eating. This wine is something I’d happily recommend to others.”

“The wine offered just the right balance of fruity flavours – fresh and vibrant, but never overpowering or too sharp. It paired beautifully with both our light lunches and dinner, making every meal feel a bit more special. I also appreciated how crisp and refreshing it tasted, perfect for unwinding and enjoying good company. Definitely a Pinot Grigio I’d reach for again.”

Your lower-alcohol go-to

The team rates Enlightened wines 4.34 out of 5 and recommends them for anyone on the hunt for flavour-forward wine with less alcohol. They’re bright, modern and made for the kind of moments where you’d love a glass, but still want to feel good afterwards.

Find Chapel Hill Enlightened at Dan Murphy’s right now for $17.99 each.

  • The warmer weather tends to make alcohol go to my head faster – I’m not a big drinker, but just for that reason I’d seriously consider a low alcohol wine. The Pinot Grigio particularly sound as if I might enjoy it. I might well buy a bottle or two for Christmas.

    Reply

  • Looks delicious, would be keen to try their wines based off the reviews. Love anything local and the light wine is just an extra win – low alcohol content would be fab for nights with friends where we all still have to drive home afterwards so would be buying for that type of event!

    Reply

  • Chapel Hill Wines do have quite a good reputation. I like the fact that it is low alcohol content. Personally, I like a very sweet wine but many would like these as they are not so sweet. I wish them well with sales and think it’s good they are doing something about lowering alcohol level.

    Reply

  • Thanks for sharing this review. It sounds that the taste is good, the price is good and the alcohol content is really low indeed. I do like the fact that they’re light. One of the things I don’t like when you’re drinking a couple of glasses that it fills you up and it affects your appetite

  • I appreciate all the reviews and think this is an excellent way to get your brand out there and known.

  • I like the sound of the Pinot Grigio and will look out for it next time I’m at the bottle shop.

  • I just asked the forum for recommendations on zero alcohol, but this is an attractive option as well! I do enjoy a Rose, so will try this one after all the positive reviews. It’s a shame they don’t have a sparkling in their collection yet! Would have been prefect for all the celebrating at this time of year.

    Reply

  • I dislike rose, but the pinot grigio sounds like it might suit me. To be honest, the alcohol content doesn’t bother me all that much – I rarely drink more than a glass or two anyway – but it would probably be nice from a general health point of view to know I’m consuming less alcohol.

    Reply

  • This sounds like the perfect glass. I do love being able to have a few drinks and not be all over the place about me. And as a bubbly girlie from Adelaide myself, I’m sure I’ll find a lot to like about this drop. Crisp and not too sweet, I’m sold and will have to try it.

  • It was the first time for me hearing about the chapel hill brand. And i still recall when i picked up the Pinot Grigio from my local, the staff there actually stopped me and said i picked a winner! She said that it was probably the best Pinot they had available to sell.

    Reply

  • I’ve heard a lot of good things about Chapel Hill wines and the reviews are always good. I like that they have low alcohol range as I like to have a few glasses when I finally get to have one. Not being too sweet is a bonus that suits me well.

    Reply

  • The idea of having a lower alcohol content wine without compromising taste is really exciting. There’s nothing worse than feeling “under the weather” from the effects of alcohol. This lovely wine ticks all the boxes, lower alcohol and a refreshing flavour. I’m keen to get the Pinot Grigio in my cart and into my fridge!

    Reply

  • This wine sounds delightful and really refreshing to enjoy on a summer afternoon. I love that it tastes fresh and crisp and still has the same punch as other wine. It sounds like an absolute delight. I will have to give it a try next time i am at the bottle shop looking for some wine.
