Just posted: Canon Powershot G15 review

I believe that you should scrap the awards totally..

They diminish your excellent reviews...not add to them and are at the very least confusing/misleading.

The 'guide' has probably been noted by very very few while the awards are out there being compared. They serve no positive purpose the way you structure them and lead many to come to comparative conclusions.  While the G15 is a mild update..a gold ...and a RX100 is groundbreaking.. a silver...the gold and silver awards respectively given do seem totally out of place in both cases...

I do highly respect your reviews which makes these awards all the more disappointing in their application.

So what is so outstanding/innovative/groundbreaking that makes the mildly updated G15 deserve your top award while an innovative, groundbreaking RX 100 that has no real competition in its size gets a silver?

Putting the RX 100 in a different category than the G15 makes the silver even more of a question..not less..

If the Nokia 808 gets a gold...for innovation/groundbreaking....the RX100 doesn't...
