The story
Digital Photography Review was founded in December 1998 in the United Kingdom by Philip and Joanna Askey. On May 14, 2007, it was acquired by Amazon. DPReview employs a dedicated editorial team of in-house and freelance writers, and was editorially independent of Amazon.
The original founder, Phil Askey, is no longer involved in the day-to-day running of the site. The company directly employs 14 full-time workers. Askey was followed as general manager by Simon Joinson, who took on the role in 2010. Joinson joined the company in 2004, having previously founded and edited several UK digital photography magazines, including What Digital Camera.
The current manager is Scott Everett who joined DPReview in 2011 as a Product Manager.
In 2007, the site had "in excess of 7 million unique viewers monthly."
On March 21, 2023, DPReview announced that it would cease operations, but that its website would remain available as an archive. On June 20, 2023, DPReview was acquired by Gear Patrol and resumed operations.
