I picked a copy of this magazine up at the airport when I was back on the Island this week, primarily because it featured an interesting piece with Jihua Zheng, the co-owner of Kinefinity.
As a gentleman of a certain age (and increasingly uncertain age due to my expiring memory) I have to say its very reassuring to pick up an actual paper publication to read equipment reviews and editorial content.
Its also reassuring after all the "are they or aren't they being paid for this?" doubts about YouTube reviews in particular to see real unambiguous adverts on a page so you know exactly where the money is coming from.
Ditto that what little advertorial content there is in it being clearly labelled across the page as being so.
Also, because it isn't created on the hoof on the back of press junkets or off re-cycled press releases it has a bit more diverse content too rather than just feeding the hype of whatever is the flavour of the month. Or flavour of the second in a lot of cases.
For me at least, it provides if not a complete alternative then certainly an interesting addition to the deluge of online stuff.
And its a far easier medium to consume when you are on a plane and don't have wifi as well
Hopefully it will get the support it needs to grow further

Yes.
It will be published on the 27th.
Of this month.
And this year
I'll put a bit of an update here later in the week with a couple of pictures and a final run list of its functionality.

No need to waste the metal as he can be apparently be brought down by meat substitute alone.

After helping whip up a national frenzy after a bakery chain released a vegan version of its sausage roll (like we don't already have enough pressing matters in the UK to dominate public debate) he decided to really show his moral outrage and disgust by eating one on his TV show.
After spitting it out (yes on live TV) he is now claiming it is responsible for him being hospitalised.
A part of me is hoping that the bakery in question had actually sneakily obtained his DNA (possibly from a bile soaked microphone used during one of his whiney rants) and identified a way to attack his gastrointestinal system to see if they could make actual shit rather than the usual metaphorical shit pour out of his mouth.
Many countries come up with creative ways to surrepticiously remove enemies of the state but I suppose it does still speak to a certain type of Britishness to attempt to do it via the medium of baked goods.

I suppose that's the issue when it comes to disagreements about music when you have so many guns around.
To paraphrase a British comedian on the issue....
You sent us Elvis Presley and we took him to our hearts, we sent you John Lennon and you shot him.
Speaking of comedians, I think Chris Rock had a great idea to enable people to still own guns but reduce the number of "heat of the moment" murders by charging $5000 each for the bullets on the basis that you would really have to be mad at someone to waste $5000 on them

omg ? piers got trolled so hard ? what a fool ????

It really does take a special type of reactionary dickhead to consider a vegan sausage roll as an act of political correctness. 
And then to articulate that thought out loud.

this thread is great
this is what the internet and message boards are all about
i would like to think that we're all friends here, and that we should be able to have a spirited discussion about anything from cameras to global politics without devolving to personal attacks, and being mean spirited
cheers, guys ??

The crux of it is that people were given an opportunity to give a simpllistic answer to a very complex question.
Irrespective of the flat out lies, they were asked if they wanted to sit on a chair without being told it was an electric one.
For such an enormous change to have been actioned, the threshold should have been set at a much higher level than 50.1%
For anyone outside the UK, the impact of this vote might not seem as seismic as they are being portrayed but the underlying factors that caused it should scare the shit out of you.
The targeting and manipulation of voters through social and traditional media sounds like something out of a conspiracy thriller but was frighteningly real and comparitively frighteningly cheap.
Anyway, time for a break for me.

Unfortunately, the detail involved means that we will be anything but fine.
Frictionless trade and with mainland Europe isn't just a buzz phrase but a vital part of not just how much trade we do but how we are able to do that trade. 
Everything that has evolved over our almost half a century relationship with the EU from food and safety standards, to human rights, worker protection, research projects, funding of development of deprived areas and the two way benefits of freedom of movement will all end in a couple of months.
My right to work, trade and latterly live in other European countries that I have enjoyed for the past 27 years will be over.
My wife who is an EU national has also spent those same 27 years working in the UK, paying taxes and contributing to the economy will now have to pay a registration fee to stay in our own home.
Her pensions and other assets are locked into a currency that has been devalued, her future status is no longer protected by EU agreements and living in a country that is becoming ever more flagrantly hostile to EU nationals.
And all of this while we are still bound by the terms of membership so God knows how it will become when the gloves are off after we leave the EU.
So we have had to make a decision to open an EU company in readiness and unless a miracle happens and Brexit is halted we will close our UK one because it will just present too many problems to trade with and within the EU from outside it.
Without sounding too dramatic, due to the ideologies behind it and the impact it will have on my ability to maintain my career, Brexit has made me a political and economic refugee and I will be leaving the UK permanently.
Even if everything is 'fine' in the UK after Brexit, it will never truly be 'fine' again due the fractures it has created and the light it has shone on some ugly truths.
And yet we continue to sleep walk to the abyss because of some insane combination of an outdated notion of exceptionalism within the wider world and keeping a stiff upper lip.
Summed up really by this from one of our better comedies that I'm sure you are both familiar with

From the same programme, this also sums up where we are and what we need at this late hour instead of just blindly walking into no mans land.
Unfortunately, all we've got is a government who have handed a £15m contract to bring in the emergency medical and food supplies we will need post Brexit to a ferry company that has no ferries.
Not very cunning at all.

@BTM_Pix I said Britain will be fine, not the British.
Especially my friends there that have a similar approach of what you described above are not very comfortable anymore.
Studying and working there for 5 years I have too many connections that now are endangered. Isolationism is never a good approach.
All in all, the people spoke, and the people are getting what they deserve.

Well if you can't blame it on the sunshine,the moonlight,the good times or indeed the boogie then I suppose I'm next in line.

Well then
 

If its old world and fucked up you're after then look no further than us from the end of March.

Bring your own medicine and trade deals with you though.

Call them again and say that you are a very active member of the HK forum.

Probably your package will be delivered very fast after it.

Which, to bring it back to the OP's issue with DPReview, is quite telling as everytime I look in the comments on a news story on there he is seemingly one of their respected voices of wisdom.
I imagine the escalation potential of internet arguments in a forum where you are all armed must be pretty next level.
