Still best compact on the market :)

I have Nikon D200. It's heavy and big brick, so I can't take it everywhere with me. Also my wife is not familiar with it's features, she is more like poin'n'shoot camera user.

I've spotted Canon SX230HS in the near Media Markt. Pink version was 25% cheaper then others, so I've bought one

I already knew this camera, I've tested it two years ago, and last year I've tested SX260HS, wchich is, in my opinion, worse choice.

With CHDK SX230HS is brilliant. It has good lens, shoots RAW, ISO 800 is like in my D200, it's loaded with features and easy to operate.

I'd prefer focal range 24-300 rather than 28-392, but you can't have it all

How is this review score calculated?

His review score was 4.5 but if I add up all the scores (with "bad for" being a negative score) I get a score of 1.0

Even if you throw away the "bad for" scores, the score average should be in the 3 range not 4.5. Somehow I think the "bad for" scores are being counted is a "good for" score. So a -4 bad score is being consider a +4 in the camera review. This needs to be fixed.
