I get really offended when I see these lop sided reviews pumping up
Canon at the expense of other brands. dpreview is well known for this
sort of behavior and really ought to stop it before their credibility
is shot. You can't keep taking money from a company and deny you are
manipulating stories to their benefit and still expect to be believed.

The truth lies somewhere between two extremes of statistics. FZ
cameras don't need as high ISO settings in low light as a Canon DSLR
does so attempting to make a Panasonic look bad at high ISO is
distorting the truth for the sake of promoting Canon.

I agree that the comparison is unfair. If you compare the sensitive areas
the Canon is 329 sq.mm. and the FZ30 is 38 sq.mm. Therefore if you are
going to show the XT at ISO 1600, the similar figure for the FZ30 would be
ISO 200, not ISO 400. The results would be comparable under such
conditions.

Of course, the original posting was simply stating the obvious, that a
small sensor camera is not as sensitive as a large sensor one!
