It was announced today Amazon.com has purchased dpreview.com.
“Dpreview.com is by far the most authoritative source anywhere for straight talk about new digital cameras,” said Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com. “We at Amazon.com have been their fans for a long time, and we extend a big welcome to the dpreview.com team.”
This is a great move for Phil Askey, the creator of the site. DPreview was started as a hobby and in short time became the place to check for reviews on cameras and equipment. He and his team did an excellent job and I hope they became rich in the process.
What this means for the site in the future, is something we'll soon find out. I hope they put the infusion of cash and resources to a good cause. Not that I can see what can be improved in an already excellent site.
