I wouldn't put much stock in what CR says about slr's, or any other piece of photographic equipment.
I recall many years ago, they tested stereo turntables. They basically said, for each model: "They turn the record around and around. When it's hooked up to an amp, and you put the stylus to the record, music comes out of the speakers. It appears very durable and well made." By their test methods, a Panasonic direct drive deck tested about the same "with no significant sonic differences" to a Linn Sondek (I don't actually think they tested a Linn, but you get my drift). CR may be great for testing refrigerators or pickup trucks, but I don't think they'd provide a report on photographic equipment that would satisfy the needs of an enthusiast. cheers, frank Feroze Kistan wrote: > Has Consumer Report ever tested SLR cameras?
