Amazon and Digital Photography Review?
I often go to Digital Photography Review to find out some of the latest news on new releases. With over 7 million views each month it appears to be the place to go for both professional and amateur photographers. But on June 19, 2007 C/NET.com announced that Amazon bought them! This news has gotten a lot of buzz around the net with speculations as to why. Although Amazon hasn’t said anything about what it’s going to do with DPReview.com, DP says it will still continue to operate independently. And has no intention of compromising the integrity of the reviews and its reputation for being unbiased. Although a lot of readers are worried that this might happen. This prompted a follow up by CNET quoting many reader responses from DP’s message boards.
Although this may be old news to some of you I thought I’d give it a day or two to see where the discussions would go and to see if Amazon would respond to any of this.
Only time will tell if Amazon will leave DPreview the way it is or do any major changes.
