When I want a serious hardware review I go to Steve's digicams.
Just about every digital camera on the planet (for the last 10 years) has been reviewed there. You'll get information overload on each review with specs, sample pics, pros/cons and just about anything else you could want.
NOTE: For some reason a lot of folks never notice the 'jump to the next page' link at the bottom of each review's first page and never see the next 5 or 6 pages of info on the camera in question. Don't be one of them. 
Go there. Now. http://www.steves-digicams.com/camera-reviews/
There is even a page listing the best in each class. http://www.steves-digicams.com/best-cameras.html
EDIT: I just re-read this... sorry if it sounded preachy. I just have bad blood with dpreview. |
I didn't find your comments to be preachy at all. I agree with your sentiment of dpreview but they do provide a good variety of sample images that shows both the strengths and weaknesses of any particular DSLR that is available on the market (hence the image comparison and decide comment). Thanks for the "Steve's" suggestion, I'll be sure to add the site to my bookmarks for future reference.
Oh, what lens did you use for your macro shots(excellent shots by the way)? I've been meaning to add a good macro lens to my inventory and I haven't decided on what lens to go with. Lately I've just been buying filters, lighting accessories but I definitely would like to pick-up at least 2 more lenses. So far my collection spans: 16-35 2.8L, 24-70 2.8L, 50 1.2L, 70-200 2.8L.
