Megapixel obviously don't know anything about photography.
DPReview is where it's at. They're always right.

sarcastic post.

There have been cases in the past where sarcasm has not been detected. Now I'm just troubleshooting.

Seems stupid but in fact I agree. Sarcasm being used either for fun or directed at someone (well, it happens), woud at least be clear for everyone.

Where can you read the review? Or do you have to buy a magazine? (:

The positives were:
* Excellent photo quality
* Very good ergonomics
* Powerful LCD Control Panel
* Super battery life

What is more important than "image quality?"
All of these positives listed above are important, in my opinion.

The Negatives were:
* Dim viewfinder in bright sunlight
* No “Live View”
* No video

I can live with those negatives, especially the last 2.

All in all, at the end of the day...it's still just a review.

I really like Megapixel's reviews. They seem to focus more on real world photography then tests. Is it opinion, hell yes, but they tend to be pretty consistent and honest as well. Perhaps not as technically rigorous as some sites, but fun to read.
