Where can I get more information with regards to the cameras I may be interested?

I have stated below but I think I should just state it here too. The fastest and easiest way is to look for comparison summaries in the magazines.
For better comparisons with side by side comparisons of the same picture at the same white balance or at the same focal length etc, one should go for magazines who do comparisons at times. books dun do that, becos they are supposed to last for a while. once the models are outdated, the books becomes outdated, so books dun do that. magazines do that. So far i think digital camera world, practical photography and photography monthly have occasional issues that did some pretty ok comparisons for that, as well as having the main bulk teaching you tips in various photographic types, having nice pictures to appreciate and also how to analyse them, how to recognise mistakes and rectify on shooting or improve with post processing. i always see digital camera buyer but have not tried that, it may be more suitable for that purpose. Popular photography also do such comparisons but somehow have less appeal to me.
Google have always give lots of online reviews and comparisons. For comparisons of nikon models, Ken Rockwell did a fair and leading job. But he probably is still more familiar with Nikon than with Canon, and dun give much light on other brands. The other common review sites include dpreview and the rest that i'm not familiar is in google which you can check out on your own.
Get to know what you want and have a little idea of what the different models offer, you can probably gets better answers on the forum than the typical "depends on what you need".
