Well, I'm reading those metrics with interest for some time - found
their site watching PopPhoto tests.
They supposedly avoid the differences between jpg conversions. Present a
series of numbers that should tell how well or how poor the sensor react
to light, the noise present, color and dynamic ranges. Interesting.
That said, I'm not reading some holy script - those metrics, assuming
they are preper, are just more info of the camera capabilities. And
evaluating metrics avoid the kind of Nikon and Canon praise we find so
often in the press. I'm tired of reading how poor Pentax cameras are if
compared to some other model with double or triple their price. That
site just offer numbers, and they're not as inconsistent as they may
look. For me the low index of the K20 may be just due to some
substandart sample - it's Samsung counterpart got higher marks.
From those metrics I'm getting the same information I'm reading from
the numeric results from PopPhoto - that Pentax is a really solid
performer with best results than any camera in the same price range,
that in order to outperform a Pentax some cash will be spent, and that
even if we spend a lot more the differences aren't that great. And for
my needs any camera from the K10 to the K20 will do, so I can choose
based on other issues - cost, availability or even dedicated battery vs
AA power, for example.
The other part I usually get from real world users - like in the 10~20mm
zoom question. Tests (numeric please, no twisting results to favor pet
brands) and real world reports from real world users - and then I
choose. My choice... so I'd like to have access to any information
available.

Ya know, the more I read these things, the more they strike me as a
complete waste of time, a distraction.
Seconded.
It's the "photodo" of the 21st century.
