“Overwhelmed with information and detailed reviews”

Hipbe Y.
3/28/18

When I asked my friend for help in choosing a camera, he introduced dpreview to me. As a amateur, I was overwhelmed with information and I didn't know there are some much to know about a camera other than clarity! Many useful reviews that are very detailed to help anyone to choose the best camera for themselves!

Top Critical Review

“Moderators censure unfavorable comments”

DANIEL Z.
2/27/23

The forums are a pig sty. Someone made suggestions on how to improve the moderation and they were mocked. I tried to defend that the person making the suggestions and my comments were censored for bogus reasons. The forums are run like a UFC match. They have an ignore function which only serves to tie one's hands behind their back. The users ignored can still read everything you write and attack it and you. What exactly is the point? Apparently, many of the commenters want to see flame wars. And the moderators encourage it. But the censorship for writing any criticism of how the site is run goes too far.

This site is so useful I can't even express it with words. Although I am an amateur I have learned so much just by browsing the forums. Excellent!

I purchase my very first camera from this store and after almost 2 years it's still working fine. If you're looking for high quality cameras with affordable prices, you should check this out!

A few years ago, I bought a Panasonic FZ30. I had spent HOURS at dpreview researching what was available. The charts, pictures, specs and feedback from for other users helped me to make an informed decision.

As the review stated, this camera took excellent daylight photo's but was not so good in dim settings. The review and what i experienced were exactly the same.

Next time I consider a new camera, I will always consult this great site!

I wouldn't buy a camera without looking at this site first. I've purchased 3 or 4 after reviewing the information they provide. My favorite feature is the set of photos they take for each camera, makes it so easy to compare when you're looking for specifics, e.g. macro.

I am amazed how few reviews this reputable digital camera site has! It's totally unfair! Dpreview is a fantastic site that is a must to visit if you are looking for a new camera. It has most of the cameras on the market reviewed and those reviews are well organized for both novice and expert user. I love this site and always go for information there if I need an opinion on a camera.

Probably the best place you can go on the internet when you want to buy a digital camera. The reviews and the tests are excellent. So far I bought 3 digital cameras and I made my selection every time based on the information on this site.
If you have a question, you can ask in their forums, you'll get a quick and accurate answer from the community. Overall a very useful site, I'll use it again before my next camera purchase.

Incredible resource to fine the perfect camera for you. The buying guide where you can select the features you want is fantastic, I wish there was one like that for autos and appliances.

Great hangout place for photographers and amateur photographers. We mostly talk about equipment on this site and there is not much actual discussion of photography or techniques. I usually go here before I buy a new lens or camera to hear what other photographers think of the equipment before I spend my money.

Found out lots of useful information on how to select the perfect camera. I think this is a great site for people who do photography as a hobby but if you are just looking for a cool point and shoot camera then this site is a little bit overwhelming
