I was just wondering where everyone goes to check reviews on electronics they plan to buy. Who are the trustworthy sites out there?

I usually do a google search for the item + "review." Usually the first hit is epinions, which I check out for user opinions. Then I look for hits that are forums pertaining to that type of product for more user reviews. Sometimes I'll check out amazon and cnet user reviews as well, but most of the people on those sites who give a product a negative rating are just morons who couldn't figure out how to use the product correctly.

For editorial reviews, I check out whatever big sites dedicated to the product at hand google pulls up for me.

Finally, I check anandtech forums! :)

Same here.

If I wanted reviews for the Canon S200 I'd go to Google and search for S200 review or PowerShot S200 review

Also checl
cnet.com
epinions.com
pcmag.com
zdnet.com
amazon.com

Some reviews sites offer specialty reviews, it all depends on what you're going to buy.
