Not trolling here, John...just showing you that DPreview is awful for
P&S reviews....here's a funny favorite that is laughed at even in the
Dpreview forums!

DP REVIEW-Nikon 7900 Cons:
Images soft (though they respond well to unsharp masking)
Very poor low light focus - even with the new AF illuminator
Some focus errors at the long end of the zoom even in good light
Low ISO results relatively noisy using default settings
Finest quality JPEG is still quite heavily compressed
Red-eye mode means 6 second shot-to-shot time
Too many button presses to change basic settings - presumably to avoid
accidents
No exposure information on-screen
No control over shutter speeds or apertures
Only two aperture settings

And then, DPreview's summary!

"In an increasingly crowded 7MP compact market, the Coolpix 7900 has
much to recommend it. Design, build and ease of use are excellent, and
there is a surprising amount of power hidden in the extensive menus."

Funny stuff! You can, of course, read the bad news and move on, but
DPreview has deals with vendors. Easy math.
