Phil Askey's Photo Review (DPReview's old name) was a pioneer in camera reviews even in back 1998/99 when I first encountered it. I remember it was run from Singapore with the url philaskey.net/~photo or something. He used to review cameras in such clarity and detail that it was so popular among digital camera nerds.
What a trip down memory lane, thanks for this. I was running a hardware review aggregator site in the 90s, and dpreview and the above provided quality content. When search engines were not great and link sharing / exchanges were useful, what a time it was.
Huge loss!
