Behind the scenes, contests and more exclusive extras in the DPReview Newsletter: Digital Photography Review

If you haven’t signed up for the free DPReview newsletter, you’re missing out. It’s more than a recap of the website; we regularly share behind-the-scenes information, reader questions of the week, photo challenges and exclusive stories that can only be found in the newsletter.

In the last three months, we have given newsletter readers early sneak peeks at our testing and talked about our studio scene, product studio and what’s going on in the DPReview mail room (you never know what might be dropping by). We also give newsletter readers an exclusive heads-up on what’s happening around our office, complete with candid sharing of what the DPReview editors are thinking about and debating. Sometimes, we even let slip which camera review we’re working on and if it is coming out the following week.

Last month, the newsletter also hosted DPReview Camera Debate Madness of March (and part of April). Readers and editors weighed the choices between primes and zooms, lens-focusing design, viewfinder- or touchscreen-only cameras, and more. After four rounds of debates and voting, we crowned a champion and experience trumped gear lust. Relive every play-by-play to discover who won and how. Join our next event by signing up for the newsletter.

There’s also our ongoing ‘Question of the Week’ segment, where we turn the microphone toward you. Last week, we asked: What’s the perfect portrait lens, and why? Nearly 100 readers wrote in to share their takes, and every week, we share some of our favorite responses in the following newsletter. What did people have to say? Sign up to find out. Join us by answering our next question every week. This week, we’re asking you: If you could update one camera from the past and bring it back to the market, what would it be? Have a hot take to share? Sign up and join the community by sending in your response.

It’s the best photography, camera and gear news, delivered right to your inbox.
