Exactly, I can't believe how many reviews use default settings like AWB, sharpness, saturation etc. during a 30 page review and then complain the the color rendition under incandescent is poor, or the image is soft, or the colors are muted.

Take the fall scene from the review, apply Unsharp mask @ 150, 0.3, 0 and you'll be impressed. Try radius of 0.5, very nice.

These are not P&S cameras. The most useful reviews are those that attempt to get the best possible IQ out of a given camera.
