The camera reviews on DP Review baffle me. They obviously put a *lot* of time and effort into these reviews... and shoot themselves in the foot by using different lenses on cameras that are being compared! Why bother with the extensive testing, then? It's not as if there aren't several excellent third-party lenses that are available in all the major mounts. I suppose the noise tests are not lens-dependent, and so might still have some validity, but as it stands you can only do meaningful comparisons of image quality when comparing Nikon to Nikon, Canon to Canon, Pentax to Pentax, etc. And even then they don't always use the same lens. Seems meaningless to me. No wonder DP Review attracts such mindless pixel peepers. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
