When looking at product-review sites I steer clear of folks who give 10/10 or even as high as 8/10 and look at the ratings below that. These reviews usually highlight specific foibles and idiosyncrasies missed by those folks with rose-tinted glasses. It's up to me to decide if these problems will also be an annoyance to me, or I may decide that the review has been unjustly harsh and ignore it. John, in his review, at least pointed out that, aside from what he called "undeniable convenience" he felt pictures from the camera weren't on par with those from an slr of the same price. That's called 'constructive critisism' which helps folks like me decide whether or not that specific weakness is going to be a deciding factor for me or not. As it happens, it won't be because I'm just a point-n-shoot snapper looking to tinker with some fotos. Your comments, though, are not specific enough: 'blur on children' - what does that mean? Is it because the children were moving, or are you saying it couldn't focus properly? Etc. In essence, a poor review that tells us nothing of the camera's real weaknesses or qualities :-(
