DP Review to close
Discussion
The side-by-side camera comparisons were very useful.
We were never sure if 'dpreview' stood for 'digital preview' or 'digital photography review'...
If Amazon didn't want it why didn't they sell it? Perhaps the old people or the redundant staff can put it back together again...

Agree it is a real shame they are closing, and you would think it would be possible to give / sell it to someone else to continue. At least Chris and Jordan are going to carry on doing their stuff, albeit at Petapixel now:

Yes, I’ve used DPReview so many times. I have always enjoyed Chris and Jordan so I’m pleased to hear they are going to continue at PetaPixel.
Very unreasonable that DPReview won’t be held in archives for reference material.
Can't the whole site be downloaded by somebody clever? - for personal use only of course.Very unreasonable that DPReview won’t be held in archives for reference material.
What a shame. For me it was the definitive review site, technically competent objective reviews backed up by test images.
Not only that, you could do side by side comparisons of the same test shot snapped different cameras.
When compared with the subjective superlative laden reviews of the blogging bozo brigade, DPReview was a trustable, reliable resource.
It'll be sorely missed - and I had no idea Amazon owned it.

I'm sure someone clever could set up some kind of web scraping tool that could get all of the content. But then what? They couldnt publish it online. I don't know about you, but I wouldnt fancy taking on Amazon's legal team.Tony1963 said:
