When I'm asked about a particular digital still camera, I check the specs and technical and user reviews at one of three websites.

The most comprehensive is http://dpreview.com. The analysis is in-depth with examples of the tests they run on every camera: color accuracy, resolution, lens errors, etc.  There is an especially good Buyer's Guide utility where you select the features you are looking for in a new camera and it will provide the results in side-by-side comparisons. The prices listed here tend to be original retail prices which drop frequently.

 http://www.steves-digicams.com is primarily focused on smaller cameras but they do review digital SLRs (DSLR). It doesn't go as in-depth on individual cameras, but it is generally more informative than the typical magazine review. It has a digital dictionary and side-by-side comparisons.

The third is http://DigitalCameraInfo.com which is riddled with advertisements but is very upfront with its two-column approach with The Good and The Bad listings for each camera they review.

My camera? Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi, an ancient year-old camera with 12MP.
