its weeks like last week that really throw DpReview’s failings into the light. A web site that is run like a magazine, with weekends off. News about the new cameras breaks elsewhere, I read about all these new cameras on other sites, samples appear in other places first – there are sample available for most of these cameras now but none on DPReview, other than links posted in the forums. Also hands-on video reviews that give a much deeper insight than the first impressions articles which seem to be the fixture for most cameras, many popular models never being reviewed.
I’ve read the defences before but i dont get it. I’ve read that some cameras are more popular than others and you have to concentrate on the popular ones, yet no other site seems to suffer this problem, and judging by empirical evidence over several years, other sites reviews don’t seem to suffer because of it. why isn’t this place run like a proper web site ? 24/7 it should be a go to place of choice but isnt anymore

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
