In general I think that people with very specific perspectives and points of view on a narrow category don't care for general review sites. I never liked Consumer Reports for high-end camera reviews. But I've generally found Wirecutter to do a good job and they provide enough rationale for their choices to help me decide if they're making their decisions using the same criteria that I would.

Review sites mostly have various conflicts of interest but the best ones seem to manage them reasonably.
