Well, in case anybody cares about my opinion, I would not rely on 
Consumer Reports' wisdom with regards to anything more complicated than 
toasters.  I still remember how CR f**ked up SLR tests: their weighted 
average grading valued weight and quiet operation above everything else.
Precision autoexposure/fast autofocus -- who needs it with 4x6 prints?

After all, CR's "dream car" is Toyota Camry -- it _definitely_ doesn't 
need premium gas.
