Very interesting. Are there no really independent review sites?

Youthinks? I wish it were common knowledge that sites like DPReview are
partly owned (or at least, in some cases, heavily sponsored by) Canon.
Alas, more and more people are duped every day by such sites.

I've found few sites or magazines that did not exhibit a great amount
of a priori bias. Whether Canon/Nikon are funding them or otherwise
have a nudge-nudge-wink-wink relationship with them is irrelevant

draw absurd
Hi folks,
I've been thinking about buying a small pocket digital camera for those
situations when a DSLR is too inconvenient. As old pentaxian (ME-sup, LX,
Pz-1p, *istD) I would of course rather go for a Pentax, but the reviews

Peter,
I think some of it is in the user adjustable sharpening/contrast.
I like the Optio S4 and just bought an SV for $261 with a $50 rebate

Go for it. Bob S.

I like much the Optio MX (and Optio MX4, which is the same but 4MP
instead of 3MP).
Its only real problem is shutter lag, lkike about any digital PS :(.
But otherwise I like it.
Very useful to take 640x480 videos time to time (with kids being in
the perfect example).

Some are a bit better. I remember that the Pentax S5i was among the
best on that aspect.
If focus is done first, lag becomes very short.

don't know, but...
Physical specs are:
S5i:
88mm
The S5z seems almost identical to the S5i other than having a larger
LCD and lacking the optical finder, based on the DPReview side-by-
side comparison. It's slightly thicker too.

Methinks some of the internet resources are biased towards certain brands
at
the expense of others.
