Resolving Camera Issues
Sometimes reading expert reviews might help resolve some issues one
can encounter in an item. I have been doing a bit of research about cameras lately and I found a site that lists expert reviews for different brands. Some reviews have been based on exhaustive tests conducted on certain products and that might be a good source of information to anyone who wants to know more about the technical aspects of the product. http://www.smartratings.com/photography/digital_cameras |

ups.com... Sometimes reading expert reviews might help resolve some issues one can encounter in an item.

As for the "expert" part, give me a break. Most of the reviews for cameras are just plain stupid. Their either throw up all of these big numbers and graphs trying to justify the fact that they didn't take the camera out of the building to test. Who gives a flying flip about lab test numbers. We don't photograph in labs using charts and graphs and crap. People need to stop worrying that their camera isn't perfect and go shoot some pictures. If they can't do that then they should go shoot themselves. Or go hunting with Cheney! =(8) |

But to say you should shop for a camera without reading the reviews is sort of like saying you should go hunting with Cheney without a face shield and a flak jacket. Bob |

Bob No. No. No. That isn't what I said or meant to say. What I was getting at is that you can't base your choice on any one review no matter the source. You need to read professional reviews in magazines, expert reviews from people that have used the camera and user reviews like on Amazon.com's site. You have to or should do a good deal of research before you buy any high tech electronic thing camera or otherwise. Lets face it there are only so many ways to get information on a product (the makers web site generally isn't a good one) so you need lots of information from lots of sources with lots of skill levels with lots of different needs, wants and desires. Then you have to decide what is and isn't important. =(8) |
