Imaging Resource Times Out

[AcquiredTaste]

Sad, but not terribly surprising. :-(

Sad indeed. Their Comparison Tool is what I remember about IR.

I wonder if Bebop's closing of IR means no more "Outdoor Photographer" magazine; if so, that's too bad. It's the only printed photo magazine I subscribe to.

it seems at the moment that way. It is all about money.

Contribution sent. Because this is all about trying to keep a decent photo forum online and active!
And thanks for the "inside" re I.R. I will miss them too.

Thank you for your support!

Imaging Resource was one of my favorite review sites, because (among other points) they were the onyl ones who introduced printed results as a determining factor. Each image was printed on a A3 printer and then visually rated. I think this is more important than pixel peeping.

Because of their recommendation, I bought at that time a Sony R1 bridge cam, a Minolta 7D and a Sony A850 (not all at once). Their reviews gave me the final push to buy it and I never regret it.

Imaging Resource's Closing has made it to DPR's News. Sad.

I wonder why there wasn't a huge cry to preserve the Imaging Resource's vast treasure trove of data during the time it was threatened with extinction? They usually seemed to be a bit more thorough than DPReview.
