Digi camera review sites
I tend to use Dp review http://www.dpreview.com/ for news, reviews etc, was just wondering what other people use and trust ?

Yep - I've read their stuff and on the whole it's pretty good as far as reviews go.
I'd certainly check them out if I was looking to buy anything.
That said - It's great to come on YOP and see the end result of what folk are posting rather than read about it !!

I don't trust them tbh - when I was researching my first DSLR I looked at the Nikon D40 and Canon 400D reviews there... I think all or almost all of the D40 sample pics were taken with the supplied kit lens, but when it came to the 400D review almost none of them were taken with it's supplied kit lens! Lost a lot of credibility in my eyes when I saw that. Unfortunately they weren't the only ones.
I tend to look at pics taken with whatever kit I am looking to buy by normal people (like us!) on sites such as pbase, or see user reviews to get an idea about that bit of kit - I find that much more reliable and 'honest'
