Congratulations. Your groupings are very good. Ignore criticism if any. This is a great tool!

Thanks Jon! I'm glad you liked it!
With only three major groups, some cameras are bound to be on the borderline. If people can make a compelling case, I will move them up or down accordingly.
I find hard to understand why the Olympus E-3 is listed in the above part of your chart, while the Nikon D-300 and the Pentax K20D are listed in the mid part. In my opinion, and having a deep look at their features, all of them belong to the same category of cameras, nothing to do with the big popes of Canon and Nikon (1D and D3)
That is a good point, those were some of the cameras that fell on a boundary.
The grouping is organizational and it is going in both directions, up and down a specific company's line-up, and also left to right across the manufacturers.
The reason E1/E3 were included in the top box was because they are flagship DSLRs in their line-up (vertical over horizontal). I was tempted to only put the E1 there (that would make the E1 fans happy) but then it would be harder to explain why one but not the other.
If enough people feel otherwise, I'll move the E1/E3 to the middle box, or one of them as a compromise :)
I love the idea.
It should be made more clear why there are three boxes for most manufacturers. I had to study it a bit to realize why.
Great point, I will put a more detailed explanation in a more prominent place. I think it's lost somewhere in one of the comments right now.
This feature will be pulled back into the new main blog for better integration with everything else, but it will maintain the same format. The functionality of the left column will probably be replaced by an extra "matrix" under each brand's overview page.
