Ken Katz Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 DP Review has been acquired by Gear Patrol https://www.dpreview.com/site-news/8298318614/dpreview-com-looks-forward-to-a-new-chapter-with-gear-patrol Don't know who Gear Patrol is, but it is encouraging that DP Review has been rescued. It has been obvious that since DP Review has continued to publish new content well past it's scheduled demise, that something like this has been in the works.

Gear Patrol is all about 'gear....' and their current website lists more awards than you can shake a stick at :0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricochetrider Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Just spent some time poring over the Gear Lab site…. Looks pretty high-endy- but OTOH judging a book simply by its cover, it sure looks like there should be enough money & momentum to easily keep DP Review online. A win for everyone it seems.

So it's a good match for what they do. Flickr gallery: https://www.flickr.com/photos/alanklein2000/albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back to Gear Patrol today and read more of their material. Their reviews (at least what I saw) aren't at all like DPR's. They seem to be mostly "the 10 best XXX" type, without the detailed list of objective feature-by-feature results that DPR routinely provided. Hopefully, they'll let DPR continue to do what it did.

mark_leha Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) they are into the "pay" scenario. Even the CEO said that he will not set a paywall "immediately", which means that it will be under a paywall. Which also means that I don't care of a pay website. At all. lol . what Phil created was beautiful, now it's another ads and infomercials galore and the forums are a bright example of how bad and ferocious social media can get. Oh well.....
