Just had an email saying their site is closing down after April 10th. Pity I liked some of their camera reviews.

Wow, they were my go-to site for honest info and review, didn't realise they have been Amazon since 2007 (which is why they are closing) - surprised they can't sell it.

Their YouTube channel was good as well. But Chris and Jordan are now moving to a new channel with PetaPixel, so hopefully that will have a similar sort of thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6T3qWI2c-Y

Damn.  I followed their tests & recommendations for years, from about 2001 on.  Wasn't so keen after Amazon bought them out, but they were still good.

Indeed, that is a shame. I’m not an avid gear buyer, but they were a really useful source of reviews.

[pcolbeck]

Its a shame all the old reviews and the forums will be lost though. It was a great resource.

[Jaded]

^ this, in spades.

I've been reading the site for years and I can't believe they're closing down.

[andyoxon]

Very surprised by this.  It's not as if Am*zon can't afford to keep it going as a resource... 

Wonder if there's any point of removing content from the galleries, even if backed up etc...

Last day of dpreview...

The forum now seems to default to the flat view instead of the useless threaded view!

It seems Amazon has decided to keep the site available.

The website's still up, with new articles appearing and the forum's still running.

It's been bought.
