That's something only Consumer Reports should approach in their take on cameras.

God, don't get me started on Popular Photography. Reminds me of early imaging-resource reviews in a way:
"We found that the camera got some colors off, and could not quite autofocus in ok light, but we are sure that the entire family will enjoy taking pictures out doors and with custom white balance calibration it can be a camera that can take photos to treasure happy moments. Highly recommended."

What I like to do is combine DPReview's stuff from Phil (the engineering all-encommpasing overview of the outside) with Thom Hogan's stuff (experiences with using the darned things for a while), and make an informed decision based on that. I also factor in word-of-mouth, and what I've read on several forums.

I would add Michael Richman's to the mix and the guy he hired/contracted or contacted to do the Olympus E-1 review at Luminous Landscape.
DPreview alone doesn't quite cut it either.
