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

Below is the farewell video from Chris and Jordan:

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.
