DPReview.com to close

It is with great sadness that after nearly 25 years of operation, we must announce that DPReview will close in the near future. This difficult decision is part of the annual operating plan review that our parent company shared earlier this year.

The impact of the coronavirus pandemic on employee workplace expectations may have played some role in Amazon's decision to abandon the site. According to photography site PetaPixel, DPReview had struggled to retain the staff necessary to run its review lab, particularly in light of its requirement that relevant employees work in-person out of the company's Seattle office.
