So you want to buy a compact, digital camera. Reviews to help you make the right choice are plastered all over the internet, but many of these were done to sell you the camera. How do you know who to trust, and who not?
Firstly, stay away from "reviews" connected to the manufacturer. Any manufacturer would like you to believe in the supremacy of their products, so the review will consist of a list of praises. The "review" is no more than a thinly disguised sales pitch.

This does not mean you should leave any website with a link to a sales page. But you should be careful if all links point to one single manufacturer. If a manufacturer is directly involved, the negative points are likely to be withheld.
So where do you find real, quality compact digital camera reviews? Look for comparison sites, photographic journals, or go offline and buy a photographic (or computer) magazine. These reviews tend to be objective, normally done by professional photographers.
Look for reviews that simply do not pull any punches. Real compact digital camera reviews will evaluate a standard set of performance features, and give an honest opinion on each. Unless the camera in question costs a fortune, and is better than anything ever released, there has to be something that comes up less than perfect. You will know of any limitations or shortcomings you may want to avoid.
Eventually, you are the one who lays out the money. There is a load of "compact digital camera reviews" that are simply junk, trying to get you to buy a specific camera. In order to be able to make an educated choice, you have to separate fact from fiction.
