DigitalCameraInfo.com's reviews are noted for their sometimes brutal honesty. The reports are very detailed and include a numerical rating that can be easily compared to other cameras. Reviews, however, can be hard to read due to their level of technical detail. The Canon PowerShot G9 rates very highly here, getting praise for its color accuracy and resolution.
