dpreview is an excellent site... for what concerns the tests and the reviews (with the unavoidable limits). I had a terrible experience in the forums, that I definitely left. They are so full of morons that they bring out the moron in you.
One of the most absurd discussion was about the lossy compression of Sony RAW files. No doubts that the issue probably doesn't matter for most people, but after some clear sample photos and the technical explanations of the people at RawDigger there were still fanboys who denied the very existence of the problem.
Now in a few days the thing has been "officially" picked up by DP staff, and after a short time Sony officially announced that they are going to offer the option of lossy compressed/uncompressed. It seems they have some problem with the most useful thing, that is lossless compression, but this is at least a starting point.
