Phones fundamentally lack the larger sensors and specialist lenses that allow ILCs to produce the images they do. Phones definitely cannot compete with ILCs in the applications that photographers use. Now it feels like that wiggle room is being squeezed right out of the industry as we all brace for the recession that hasn't quite shown up yet. with as much profit as the profit centers bring in, there was a little wiggle room for passion projects. I get that big companies are not retirement homes for nerds but. A loss for the internet, and it makes me sad that these kinds of quasi-public-good projects are getting canned across the industry.

The number after ten.Ī whole lot more than eleven people used DPReview, and they provided a service that I'm not sure is well replicated from other sources. I once had to get approval from my VP's VP because we wanted to turn off a product with eleven daily users. Amazon used to NEVER cancel projects that customers were using.

It feels like this kind of layoff is part of an end of an era. When I want to buy something I go through their report first, and it's always extremely informative. DPReview is _the_ site for extremely detailed analysis of cameras. Dang, I'm actually surprisingly sad about this.
