It's this simple. Such can be the result of the reviewer comparing the camera to something better.
So far, there are no standards for such a review. It's very subjective.

I would like some expert information on the compact sony w1 digicam. On another websight there were mixed reviews on this camera. The only flaw was it had soft focusing on the photos when taking pictures of people. I had a trial test with this camera and found that to be true. After changing the default setting to sharp+ & focus center the pictures came out fine.Yet on this other website with this tried some people considered it still soft. Can you help me on this?
