Amazon buys dpreview.com

[Tuolumne]

Photo content sites, especially with a strong community focus, are in big demand. First Jorge sold this forum to CameraQuest and now Amazon weighs in, buying dpreview.com from Phil Askey. I'm sure it was for a pretty penny, too, since Hitwise ranks dpreview.com #24 in the "Entertainmet-Photography" category. Congratulations to Phil Askey.

Nice to see him make a good profit on eight years of hard work. In the meantime, do read the oldest available review: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canonpro70/

So everything that Amazon doesn't carry will either not get reviewed, or get a low rating now?

Yes I thought of conflict of interest first thing too. As here...
