It was excellent as long as it lasted. Phil worked his a** off to make great reviews - sometimes to my utter disappointment about a certain attractive model - and while doing so he saved me a bundle of money which I might have spent on the wrong camera. The forums were great for insider tips and exchange on camera flaws etc. I'm afraid that they may be edited for "malicious content" in the future... The good times are over now, and I would guess that 6 months from now we will see changes in attitude and bias towards certain brands... Phil, take your money and enjoy life! No hard feelings - your deserve it and I would possibly do the same. Thank you for your great contribution to the camera world!

As a fan of the site since '99, the purchase is well deserved and I think it's great that he likely has a nice nest egg to retire on now and re-invest into his site. Congrats to Askey!

DPReview is such a great usefull and neutral service. Now that Amazon has it under his umbrella, things will change, like it or not... it will be plagued with Amazon advertisements, and I will start trusting less on DPs reviews.

This does seem like an interesting sale though. With the amount of pageviews they're pushing (120m a month) coupled with the great commissions you can get on traffic coming through looking for camera stuff, I can't see their revenue being anything below a few million.. and that means Amazon must have put up a serious amount of dough for the site, and I bet they'll become the main seller/affiliate pretty fast ;-) Congratulations!

Amazon's customer service is great and they're not closed on certain religious holidays; I'd love to see this bring Amazon into a position where they can be a viable marketplace for pro photographers.
