Le Grand Jackpot

Amazon.com has purchased dpreview.com, according to BusinessWire this morning (our link is to TMCnet, since the BusinessWire page is a popup). According to the terms, the dpreview site (the name is short for "Digital Photography Review") will continue to operate as a stand-alone, and editorial content will be unchanged, although I would presume you could look for, er, more Amazon-specific vendor links. In other news, Phil Askey and Simon Joinson will soon be driving even nicer cars.
