PSA DPReview is being archived by the Archive team. Currently they are working to scrape over 4 million articles and posts within the next 3 weeks.

Once archived, the entire site will be made available for anyone to browse on the internet archive. The entire .WARC will also be made available for anyone to download and view locally with a .WARC viewer such as Web Replay — this allows you to download the site and view it locally forever. You will be able to download the .WARC file from here once complete.

Personally, I'll be downloading every image on the DPReview Studio Camera Comparison tool page as it is an irreplaceable tool for direct camera comparisons going back the entire history of digital photography.

I will be organizing by camera, downloading all RAW and JPEG files, day and low light mode, all ranges of ISO for each camera and pixel shift if available. Once done, I will make all images available to download as 1 file for comparison, uploaded to GitHub — probably as a Lightroom Catalog since it preserves all metadata and allows for comparisons using tags, emulating it's current functions, and an uncompressed ZIP/TAR for those without software that supports lr.cat.

Archive Team is a loose collective of rogue archivists, programmers, writers and loudmouths dedicated to saving our digital heritage. Since 2009 this variant force of nature has caught wind of shutdowns, shutoffs, mergers, and plain old deletions - and done our best to save the history before it's lost forever. Along the way, we've gotten attention, resistance, press and discussion, but most importantly, we've gotten the message out: IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY.

This website is intended to be an offloading point and information depot for a number of archiving projects, all related to saving websites or data that is in danger of being lost. Besides serving as a hub for team-based pulling down and mirroring of data, this site will provide advice on managing your own data and rescuing it from the brink of destruction.

WARC Player: https://github.com/webrecorder/webrecorder-player/releases/tag/v1.5.0
This is the only cross-platform WARC player I could find in a quick search.

P.S.You can find lots of reviews at kenrockwell.com. Ken frequently presents loads of test results to back up his reviews. He also uses film and old gear now and then.

1. I'm angry beyond words

DPReviews were the best. I never bought a camera without reading their review.

2. This is a real shame. DPReview has been invaluable to my photography experience.
