I agree. I go to dpreview myself from time to time. I realize it has some value. But so many things get blown out of proportion that the annoyance factor is huge.
The initial posts about the hot pixel/mirror lockup link seem to suggest that the hot pixel/mirror lockup problem only happens when shooting jpegs. Or perhaps it's only visible then due to conversion fixes? In any case, I've used mirror lockup a few times with no visible problems. However, I only shoot RAW.
