I read every review I can, but don't take any of them as 100% the final arbiter of what I decide to buy, mainly because my wants and needs may greatly differ from those of another person. We all want and look for different things in a camera. It also takes (me) a certain amount of time to read about all the features a particular camera may offer and definite exactly what works for me. So individual user reviews are often more helpful when they comes from people who have been trying out and using a camera longer term than a reviewer who is undoubtedly knowledgeable but who also has to test and review a lot of cameras and who doesn't get the luxury of a longer term test run. I like the expert perspective but I equally value the user experiences, which are often varied as well. It all adds up to an overall impression about a camera.

attention to details is key here

and DPR definitely nailed many good points

for example Carey mentioned unforgivable battery life

which is more often overlooked by most users

you would expect a decent battery life in a premium price? but no you got 25% less here.

This just shows another laziness in body developments (using the same old G5x body design)

That being said, it's definitely a decent camera all around for $899 now, not $1299.
