Hope all the staff get suitable employment soon. Thanks for all your reviews and of course managing the forums. It was a great ride for over 20 years.

Like 0 2 min agopermalink dprived prev ok, it's a regretful thing to happen seeing a great photography site like DPreview close down ... i wish at least the content would be kept alive indefinitely into the future for reference ... i buy old cameras all the time and finding technical info, user comments, pricing etc about them here is a joy ... please do something to keep the contents alive! :-( . Like 0 3 min agopermalink r23w This is tragic. We need to find a way to keep an archive or backup of these forums. So much camera knowledge will be lost for future generations. The dpreview forums are the 1# hit whenever you search for anything specific about a camera, especially older digital and film cameras. There's so much I learned about some of my cameras that I could not find anywhere else, not YouTube or Reddit etc. That knowledge will just be lost, poof! We need to come together as a community to keep these forums alive or partner with another photography business/forum site. Like 0 3 min agopermalink janbanan Why can you run it in smaller scale? A few person runned the site for a few years? Like 0 3 min agopermalink Bob U Breaking my heart. Can we rally and show support in any way for them to reconsider? Like 1 4 min agopermalink agott123 Yes, indeed very bad news. I joined DPR back in 2005, after getting my Oly E1. I think I've learned most of what I know about photography here. So many great people helping out. Sad for the guys who work here too. BTW, would like to thank the m4/3 forum moderators all these years. And those on the 4/3 forum before that.

Apparently it was not worth trying differently in order to meet stakeholders' expectations. Whatever the exact reasons, demand is changing, tech is changing, and hopefully the team will continue to create insightful and creative content. I have enjoyed reading your articles and watching the videos for many years, and am pretty sure that photography and videography will keep on playing an important role to many many people on the internet.

No more Amazon for me Like 2 9 min agopermalink mjptango The most disappointing news, especially for people new to digital photography. I recall way back in about 2000 looking to buy a digital camera, with some many options it was confusing - A the time most digital cameras one pressed the shutter button and a second or so later the camera released the shutter, but with DPreview I discovered that Panasonic cameras had the fastest focussing, so I bought an LC3 that capture so many great memories. Then a few years later the FZ1 - the first of the 10x or 12x zooms with f2.8 ! Like 1 12 min agopermalink RenatoL Dpreview team, Thank you for giving me entertainment, knowledge and space for my passion to grow. Every single purchase of photography gear I have made since more than 20 years has been made based on your reviews and your insight. A big part of those purchases, were made through Amazon, yet definitely there will be no more. No more purchases through Amazon. Like 6 13 min agopermalink solarider I wonder if Barney decided to let go before this happened. Nonetheless, what a great ride! Thank you Phil, and all of the fine staff through the years. Appreciation! :-) Like 1 14 min ago*permalink Pamela P Hello. I'm dreadfully sorry this fabulous newsletter is being discontinued. Over the years I've gleaned some very valuable information that has helped me with both my equipment acquisitions and my skills. Your writing has always been timely and insightful and I, for one, think its a huge mistake on Amazon's part. Still, thank you, thank you, thank you - and you WILL be missed.

I have been a registered member since 2008 and a frequent reader from +-/2003.

These forums contain a wealth of information, the largest in the world I would argue. If there is any way in which we can support a future version, please allow us to help.

Very sad news :( Like 2 19 min agopermalink jimmyhosseini Is there anything the community can do to avoid this? I would pay for using your page. Truly sad news. I am so sorry! Like 1 19 min agopermalink ThomasH_always Ever since Amazon took over DPreview I predicted : "that is a problem". And almost a conflict of interest. What a seller has to do with "impartial" lab and a community of enthusiasts? DPreview is a de facto institution. Worldwide. To shut it down and even to "delete the content" is a rude, arrogant act, which can only be instituted by completely incompetent execs, lacking any understanding about what they actually have. I wish DPreview would be taken over by a publishing house. For $1 as it seems? Anyways, I am not optimistic. Paradoxically Imaging-Resource will thus outlive DPreview. Most photographers will move to FStoppers, SLR-lounge, apalmanac, or Petapixel. Like 6 19 min ago*permalink Spectro Very sad and disappointed. Didn't think it would happento this site. I was hoping it is an early april fool joke. Godspeed to the team. Maybe amazon can sell it off to keep it going indepentantly. I did see this site first as a camer areview page, but stayed when I was reading photography technique and tips early on (which is still somewhere onthis site). Like 1 20 min agopermalink Ali I've had my fredmiranda account for 20 years but have only three posts on their forums. I have a lot of catching up to do there! Sad to see dpreview go away...

While I can't say that I won't buy from Amazon anymore, I can say that I won't buy camera gear there. Best wishes to the staff. Like 6 20 min agopermalink _P Yeah, that much I can commit to as well. Like 2 19 min agopermalink Freewheel-jp Thank you for your great work over the years. I believe that DPR is the best photo article in the world. It was created by your efforts and abilities, not by the parent company. And I hope that the assets of the photography culture that you have nurtured will remain with your team in the future. If you could start your own organization or cooperate with a membership site like Flickr, I would easily start paying monthly fees. Warriors of photography culture, a new battle has just begun.

Mods are heavy handed and show favouritism, everything's skewed towards promoting gear nobody really needs, as the models of two years ago do really take the same photos and you don't need butterfly AF, people argue about the most trivial stuff imaginable but we all share a common passion of photography and despite our differences that binds us all together! Also it has THE ONLY active street photography forum on the net that is discussion and not just walls of images and likes only... Dang I might have to actually try and publish that book now I can't just talk about it. Peace be with you all Like 0 22 min ago*permalink bigdave65 Just wanted to say that as a non-photographer I will still miss this site immensely!

Where else can you get such consistently thorough reviews? Where else can you get such entertaining videos? Where can you access quality comparisons of a studio image from your old camera vs. a new camera? This is worth money to me! Why aren't any of you offering to pay for this extraordinary resource?????? I think DPREVIEW could be a gold mine if monetized. I would pay for this content, why won't you? Like 1 25 min agopermalink mcshan There is something wrong in the business world when a site like TikTok thrives on kids posting videos of their pets licking their butts while the small staff at DPR gets laid off.

Hopefully something can be done to save the site and the team but if not then all the best to everyone in their future endeavours and thank you for the ride. Like 5 26 min agopermalink Antony John Photography is one of the many art forms that have been available to mankind for centuries. I had an 'uneasy' feeling when DPR was moved from the UK to Seattle - rightly so it seems. I would think that DPR is the preeminent website for photographers by a large margin. To shut it down just shows a total lack of altruism by the owners. At least we can be thankful that Amazon wasn't around 5 or 6 centuries ago other wise we might not have had the works of Michael Angelo or Leonardo if they weren't generating a large enough profit for Bezos. The one thing we can be thankful for is that the arts will continue to flourish even after the names Amazon and Bezos have been consigned to the world's garbage bin. Like 5 26 min agopermalink tolleknolle So many thoughts... To begin with, I am actually gutted. I've been hanging out here daily for well over 20 years, ever since Phil began reviewing these newly-fangled gizmos some time around 2000. Secondly, is it really that bad? Is this another sign of an industry - and a way of life - in palliative care? And finally, damn you, Bezos. This egomaniac would rather build a massive dildo and ride it up into the sky. Ba*tard. Like 2 27 min agopermalink jdu_sg The journal of a new Frontier I found DPR in 2000, and it's reviews have been my entry to nearly everything related to the tech.

Just a few personal faves: Canon S60 "what we have here ladies and gentlemen is a compact G5" D30 - CMOS ! 300D - Sub $1000 Sony F828 8MP - evolution of the 717 tripped up by noisy sensor line Minolta A900.
