Amazon.com’s DPReview.com to Close
The world is changing faster than ever before, with the photography industry not least affected. The corner store as a metaphor is disappearing, but now even large sites too?
UPDATE: dpreview.com was sold to Gear Patrol. Maybe it was just pre-sale marketing.

DPReview.com has been an industry icon for over two decades.

DPReview.com is a wholly-owned, editorially independent subsidiary of Amazon.com.
DIGLLOYD: I only learned recently that Amazon had acquired dpreview.com way back in 2005.
DPReview.com to close
After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview will be closing in the near future. This difficult decision is part of the annual operating plan review that our parent company shared earlier this year.
The site will remain active until April 10, and the editorial team is still working on reviews and looking forward to delivering some of our best-ever content.
Everyone on our staff was a reader and fan of DPReview before working here, and we’re grateful for the communities that formed around the site.
Thank you for your support over the years, and we hope you’ll join us in the coming weeks as we celebrate this journey.
