« Lilac time; Free mp3s: Kansas; Webby Award winners | Main | More details leak as Wolfowitz digs in: 'Angry Wolfowitz in four-letter tirade' » May 15, 2007Amazon buys Digital Camera ReviewAmazon.com acquires dpreview.com: Shelley Powers notices that Amazon has bought Digital Photography Review, the place to turn when you're trying to figure out which camera to buy. Not only are its reviews thorough, a lively and knowledgeable group of camera owners contributes its expertise and experience to even the drive-by visitor. When my new Panasonic Lumix (purchased from Amazon and still under its one-year warranty) started delivering photos with horizontal white bars or day-glo purples and greens, it was here I found it was a known lens-system problem across several brands. (I wrote to Panasonic describing the aberrations, was told my camera needed servicing and where to send it. It was repaired free, and returned promptly. I had forgotten to remove the card from the camera, and it came back with the test photos of the workbench it was fixed at.) I don't know whether Amazon will enhance DPReview or junk it up, but the financial reward for founder (in 1998) Phil Askey is well-deserved. Posted by Sheila Lennon |
