Default Best review sites


Hi,
Post the links to the best review sites in your opinion for a particular device / component / product. Forums like digit's can help people choose things but can also confuse with so many different opinions.. So why not create a thread to just help confused people...???

My recommended sites in the order of preference for digicam review..
www.steves-digicams.com
www.dpreview.com
www.dcresource.com

Similarly post your recommended sites in any category...

Thanks for updating guys.. But I think it would be better if we suggest sites for specific components - hardware or software... Anyway, keep the thread growing with useful contributions...

WOW Guys that was cool!!!!

Here is my contribution!!!!

1.Digital Cameras!!!!!

This is one of the first online review sites, and by now the best known. New models of digital cameras and printers are vetted with systematic, technically rigorous, scientifically fair and precise testing. Products are compared to previous models. No aspect of a camera is left untested. DPReview deserves its reputation as *the* place to keep up with the incredible swift moving frontier of digital media. In fact for most photographers this site has rendered photography magazines as superfluous. The site also boasts extremely active discussion boards for the die-hard enthusiast, and really great buyers' guides. I wish there was a site like this for every vocation.



2.The Gadgeteer

Two women personally review neat new gismos. Each selected item (often sent by a manufacturer) gets a detailed breakdown and opinionated review. Lots of close-up photos are used to dissect features. They like unusual but practical items. Recently they seem to be into wearable accessories. Reviews are generally positive, however -- sometimes a problem if you are spending your own money.

3.Ecoustics

They started out reviewing hi-fi components and now cover most consumer audio/visual gear (TV, video, home theater). No reviews originate here. Ecoustics cleverly gathers user reviews from many sites like Amazon, Epinion, Pricegrabber, etc and collates them by product item. Ditto for editorial reviews, which they also aggregate from the expected magazines online. Despite this wealth of info, finding the best is difficult.

4.Great Battery Shootout

Not a site, but a long page that reviews new versions of consumer batteries. It would be great if Mr. Battery kept it updated.

5.Everything USB


We are talking computer peripherals: Obvious ones like USB flash storage , nonobvious ones like digital cameras, and the whimsical ones like USB powered coffee makers. There are no formal reviews here, but busy user forums dispense chat on USB products and USB tutorials, and there is a very handy comparative shopping matrix, which offers some relief in deciding which model of a USB device is best.


6.Trusted Reviews

A team of geeks review computer hardware and peripherals. No attempt is made to be comparative or comprehensive. They tend to review the newest stuff -- but at least they review it, unlike most sites featuring new gadgets.




ENJOY!!!! 8)

BYE!!!!

These are my favourites:

For all computer, electronics, mobile phones, gadgets: www.cnet.com

For specific computer hardware: www.tomshardware.com, www.anandtech.com

For games: www.gamespot.com, www.gamespy.com, www.ign.com

For price comparison (for lowest prices of electronics and computer hardware and software): www.pricewatch.com, www.pricegrabber.com, www.dealtime.com.

I addition I always read user reviews for a specific computer hardware at international shopping sites (amazon, newegg, tigerdirect) as I feel the users are the ones who can give real opinions.
