I was reading some reviews for cameras, trying to decide which camera to buy and I found one that sounded awesome, but was still pretty cheap. I was pretty much sold until googled turned up some forum discussions where people were not so positive about the camera. In fact, many people were talking about how badly it performed indoors, which was really important to me (the review did state that it had a low lux rating, but on second reading, I realised it really glossed over indoor performance). Seeing as I mostly use reviews to judge whether or not to make a large purchase (still waiting for better budget cameras to come out), I've started becoming really wary about what I read. I agree.
