Amazon Acquires DPReview.com

Leading online retailer Amazon.com today announced it has acquired www.dpreview.com, the web’s most comprehensive site for digital camera information and reviews. Founded in 1998 by Phil Askey, dpreview.com provides unbiased reviews and original content regarding the latest in digital cameras, and offers a host of features and forums designed to make it easy for consumers to find the camera that’s right for them. With its unique voice and in-depth technical reviews, dpreview.com draws millions of unique visitors each month.

This is quite a surprise, though I’m not sure whether to be excited or upset. DPReview is not doubt one of the most in-depth and reliable imaging review sites. It’s going to be sad if anything changes now that Amazon is on top.
