It loses to Samsung Galaxy Tab? I haven’t even seen it yet -_-
@acolyte – re: losing to Samsung Tab – That is because the editors of PCworld use a … um …. ahem … a “finely tuned algorithm” 😉 to develop their list.
My initial estimate to describe their “finely tuned algorithm” to determine the PCworld rank is the following equation: Rank = (MDE * WSH) / Q!CS!.
The three factors are described below.
– – – – –
Rank in the best product list = (MDE * WSH) / Q!CS!.
MDE – Money Drives Everything.
The MDE factor represents the advertising revenue represented by the parent companies of the products in the list.
WSH – WiSH we had their money.
The WSH factor represents the potential advertising revenue from companies that don’t advertise yet, but that PCworld’s advertising salesmen wish they had.
Q!CS! – Quick! Call Someone! –
The Q!CS! factor is a complex one. It represents the factor that quantifies the moment when the editors at PCworld say “Darn! No one is going to believe us if we don’t list some genuinely cool products! Quick, call Engadget! Call Gizmodo! Call Wired! Just call someone! Find out what’s cool! We have no idea!”
– – – –
I’m sure other SAR readers could help to refine this algorithm to better reflect how the editors come up with their decisions. (This is the softball pitch that I gently throw to the humorists in the crowd.) Any takers?

This is excellent…
I try one last week, but is a shame some phone operators doesn´t active the call function on it.
wow… epic.
First Canon product – 23. Canon Pixma MG8120
First Canon camera – 27. Canon 7D
First Nikon product – not in 100
First micro 4/3 camera – not in 100
First Canikon fanboy whining – 10th comment.

BTW: What’s Netflix? Never heard of it… o_O
Here’s best of digital cameras & printers
Netflix is an online system for digitally renting movies & TV shows to watch them directly in your TV using a PS3 or Blu-Ray player.
IMHO… lens is not sharp enough. noise profile is excellent but ultimately, no flash = no go. its the clown car of cameras.
MEH, I own the NEX5 but I don’t really give a crap about those rankings, they are meaningless.
What I wanna know is when are the new E-Mount primes coming out?
you have a problem with Zeiss primes???
you can use lenses other than e-mount you know
Duh, but it has a flash
i hope the primes are so late because they want to make them really really good.
right now the nex seems pretty useless to me with only kit lenses.. sure some people might like the 16mm pancake but the majority would prefer good primes in the 24-35mm and 50-90mm range.
2011 is going to be pretty interesting for mirrorless.. both samsung and sony have their road maps out.. i am pretty excited who brings out the better lens package.
