So, what you’re saying is: it’s unhelpful to be over-enthusiastic, as such comments could be mistaken for fact, and misused in an erroneous purchase.
When you present them as fact, yes. Be as over-enthusiastic as you like when you make clear it's opinion.

This will be particularly unfortunate, as I probably have lower standards than you,
I have no idea what your standards are, nor those of the OP - and that's the point - you have no idea of the OP's standards, either. All we know is that a compact doesn't meet his requirements in this area.

and of course, you are looking after the interests of members.
Indeed so.

Why don’t you just say how you found the E5*0?
The results from it that I've seen are perfectly respectable, and IMVHO it should be on the OP's shortlist unless he is particularly demanding about high ISO performance. The E-520 appears to be a decent and sound camera that represnts good value in the two-lens kit. It's got a lot going for it. I'm absolutely not telling the OP not to buy it - it may be the camera that suits him best, and if it is, great. If he decides that nothing less than a Nikon D3 will suit him, that's great too - as long as he makes the decision that's right for him, it could be a film disposable for all I care. I find it utterly incomprehensible that anyone might take a different view to that, TBH - why should it matter to anyone else what brand somebody chooses?
