Are ZDNet reviews biased? Camera for Jet ski use
Hello all
Just found this site today, and what a wealth of info to be found. 
It's a daunting task trying to narrow down a short list for a digital camera - and the situation changes when I revisit it every few months.
I came across the reviews on ZDNet a number of months ago and found them rather informative. Is it just me or do the reviewers there seem pro Canon and dislike everything else???
I jet ski and I want a digi I can take out with me.
At first I was attracted to an Oly MJU400 because of the "weatherproof" case. This would be handy by the waterside and I have the option of adding the PT-016 housing. The ZDNet review turned me right off the MJU400 - is it really that bad for what it is??? What about the C-750?
Olympus, until the of March in Australia, are offering cash rebates which suggests new models are coming out. I'd hate to buy a digi now and find a much better model comes out in 60 days time. Many models have an end of life this March/April.
I been searching through the posts here but would still appreciate any recommendations to suit my requirements:
* Housing available
* Prefer 4MP (funds are limited)
* Prefer standard batteries like AAs
* Better than 3x optical
* Low shutter lag
I was looking at the Oly 5060 and 5050 yesterday but these are above my budget. Even the salesman conceded the 5050 has a better lens. Is the 10x optical on the C-750 that wonderful? The 3.2MP Minolta Z1 gets rave reviews but no housing? No brand bias here.
Sorry, lots of questions, any help warmly received.
