DPReview.com to close

1 year ago By Rico Besserdich

Dear readers,

After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview will be closing in the near future. This difficult decision is part of the annual operating plan review that our parent company shared earlier this year.

The site will remain active until April 10, and the editorial team is still working on reviews and looking forward to delivering some of our best-ever content.

Everyone on our staff was a reader and fan of DPReview before working here, and we’re grateful for the communities that formed around the site.

Finally, a bit of good news. Well, sort of. It is not good that plastic finds its way into our oceans and can be detected in just about every sample of water but at least it appears that microplastics do not accumulate in the aquatic food chain.
