    Ouch! Comparing DPReview.com to TOS is just plain mean

    I have bought several digital cameras over the past few years including DSLR's and I have found that DPReview.com has always been pretty accurate. In fact, most photo-geek sites are pretty honest since there are so many easily measurable metrics that don't really exist for AR's.

    My comment about CNET is because that is a tech-geek site, not a photo-geek site.

    More importantly, what bad reviews are you talking about? A quick Yahoo search pulls up the following reviews from serious photo sites, all of which are overall positive. (Photo-geeks can always find nitpicky problems!)

    I did not buy this camera for high speed video. I wanted a super wide zoom with fast cycle time and this camera came up so I bought it. For less than the cost of a case of ammo I figured what the heck!

    Not picking on you, just being specific. We obviously see this all the time here with "they told me on ar15.com it was good" kind of posts.

    ETA:
    I *want* to like this camera, so I'm really looking for good credible reviews and something that pokes holes in the numerous bad reviews I've found.

    Funny, I found out about the Casio camera on Dpreview, which I haunt about once a week.

    Dpreview is the heat when it comes to cameras. Most up to date and they actually run quality tests and do side by sides. Hardcore stuff that I don't know is replicated anywhere else.

    cnet to me isn't bad, but dpreview will give you actual data to look at. Run a scene at different ISO levels, or at different lens focal lengths and then look at the resultant pics. No fluff.

    All those P&S cameras seem like kludges to me coming from SLRs, so I am always disappointed in how they operate.

    We've got a camera here at work that does 10,000 frames per second.

    Never bothered to take it to the range.

    Yeah, I see my DSLR as similar to my Noveske 16" middy with T1, BC 1.0 compensator, BAD, BAD ASS, and attachable 3x magnifier or even a sighted in TR-24G. Versatile, fast, and easy to use.

    I see Point & Shoots as more like one my J-frame backups. Easy to carry, but much more work to get good results.

    Although, this new Casio is more like a G26 in comparison given it's enhanced feature set

    As I said, I want to like the thing so I'm glad to see that the site withthe favorable review is well respected. I'm on my phone so I don't have links goths other reviews I saw but most were user reviews.

    About 10 years ago those cameras used to run about $75,000. What do they cost these days?
