Dear Amazon.
DPReview is not a pair of underpants a customer sent back that you will now toss into the mountain of unwanted products at the back of the warehouse soon to be taken to landfill on a dying planet. DPReview belongs back in the community. This site belongs with *us* the camera community and I don’t care at all that Amazon paid a nominal sum for the website in the heyday of the DSLR revolution, it is pocket change for them, genuinely valuable for us, and besides OUR culture is not yours to vandalise or chuck in the trash.
These were the primary thoughts I had upon hearing the news that DPReview will be closed by Amazon. Not sold. Not rebranded. Closed.
Will a suitable buyer step forward? One that understands the importance of objective, factual, written tech journalism?
