The countdown begins: DPReview's new website goes live next week

Back in April, we shared some big news: for the first time since DPReview went live in 1998, we've been rebuilding the entire site from the ground up. This isn't just a cosmetic update or a new coat of paint, but a rebuilding of the entire codebase and migration to a modern web platform we can support for years to come. After months of work, we're ready to make the switch. This has been a massive undertaking. Beyond building everything that's new, we've had to migrate more than 25 years of content, product databases, widgets, and more to an entirely new system. It took a little longer to wrap up than we expected, and that was deliberate: we wanted certain things working properly out of the gate rather than rushed. A good example is our Image Comparison Tool, the widget that lets you compare studio scene images between cameras. We haven't just rewritten it for the new site; we've redesigned it to work well on phones and tablets, too. Here's what to expect over the next few days,
