Here’s a bit of good news, for those who are interested in such things.

Digital Photography Review, a highly regarded website featuring critical reviews of all things related to photography, has gained a new lease on life.

It was reported back in April that the site was being shut down by its owner, Amazon.com.

But it remained onine.

And then just this week it was announced that the site will continue under new ownership.

Dear readers,

We’ve heard from many of you over the past several weeks, and we realize there are many questions about what comes next for DPReview. We’re thrilled to share the news that Gear Patrol has acquired DPReview. Gear Patrol is a natural home for the next phase of DPReview’s journey, and I’m excited to see what we can accomplish together.

I want to reassure you that we remain firmly committed to what makes DPReview great: the best camera reviews in the business, industry-leading photography news and features, and one of the most active photography communities anywhere on the internet.

This is just the beginning of a new chapter for DPReview and we don’t have all the answers yet, but I’m sharing what we know below and will continue to share information about this change as we get more acquainted with our partners at Gear Patrol.

Thank you for your continued support of our team and legacy. We appreciate it and can’t thank you all enough.

– Scott Everett
General Manager – DPReview.com
