    Huge part of my daily photography fix online is ending.

    I'm absolutely shocked

    Yeah, same here. Been a member there since 2004, and it would be a place I'd check into pretty much on a daily basis. I'm very shocked.

    Even worse that them closing it down, Amazon have said they'll delete the whole thing soon. That's over 2 decades of reviews, commentary and advice that's just going to disappear. You'd think a behemoth like Amazon, who own massive cloud storage server space, would be able to keep it as a read-only archive.

    Good that Chris and Jordan from the DPReview TV YouTube channel will be continuing for PetaPixel. Their reviews aren't the most in-depth, but they're a bit of fun.

    Well, they've postponed the shutdown (the haven't said for how long) and committed to archiving the existing content.
