DPREVIEW.com to shut down and close
To see the update to this, go HERE
Amazon (parent company and owner) has informed DPRreview, the largest photography website in the world (www.dpreview.com) that started in the late 90s, that it intends to shut down and close the website effective April 10th of 2023.
The message from DPReview posted on their site states the following:
Dear readers,
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.
Sincerely,
Scott Everett
General Manager - DPReview.com

But wait, there’s more! Jordan and Chris are moving to PetePixel where they will continue to produce camera and lens reviews:
My relationship goes back further than most with DPReview. The site was actually up in 1998 more as an experiment by Phil Askey and officially started in 1999. I found it from a link at Luminous Landscape, a website that was also launched around the same time. I have visited DPReview almost every day since!
I sensed something was wrong because the pace of updates at DPReview had slowed in recent weeks. I attributed it to just a slowing of the camera and lens news but I guess I was wrong, unfortunately,
Maybe with the fortune that Phil made from the sale, he could use those proceeds to repurchase DPReview. One can only hope!
RIP DPReview.
Today, Nikon announces the Z50II, a huge upgrade over the original Z50 camera. The headlines here are the upgrades to the auto focus system, now having the Expeed 7 processor, the same one in the Nikon Z9, Z8 and Z6III cameras. And many more upgrades over the Z50.
Today, I just received this beauty of a lens and I’m eager to give it a try. Stay tuned for a few test shots NOW WITH TEST SHOTS.

How to see only the cropped part of photos in the Capture One browser. In Capture One, with default settings, you see the whole un-cropped photo when using the Browser to view your images in a folder. The part of the image outside of the cropped area is a little dimmer than the part of the image included in the cropped photo.
It was a clear morning in Boise Idaho, perfect weather to observe the recent blue moon.
Normally, I would use the Nikon COOLPIX P950 camera but at the last minute, chose to use one of my full frame Nikon's instead.
Originally, I was going to use the NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR lens but to keep the weight as low as possible, I store that lens without the tripod collar. I learned without the collar, there is no tripod mount on the lens body and since the moon would be setting soon, I didn’t have the time to mount the collar in time.
So, I ended up using the Nikkor Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S lens instead. I mounted the lens to the Z7II along with the Z TELECONVERTER TC-1.4x on my new Manfrotto Be Free Advance tripod along with up scaling with Topaz Photo AI created the resulting image.
Overall, I’m pleased with the results. Stay tune for reviews of all the mentioned equipment.
