Digital Camera Resource Page
The Digital Camera Resource Page was the first of the "big four" digital camera sites, founded in November 1997. The DCRP is designed to be an unofficial resource for current and future owners of digital cameras. It is aimed more towards the consumer end, rather than the high end (read: $5,000)
professional cameras. The mission of this site is to:
1. To provide honest reviews of digital cameras, with no sugar coating. If I think a camera isn't a good choice, you'll know it. Reviews are written without a lot of technical jargon, so everyone can understand them.
2. Do #1 without shoving ads down the throats of our readers. T hat means no pop-ups, pop-unders, interstitials, or any other annoying ads.
The DCRP has been featured in many publications, most notably the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, Money Magazine, Chicago Sun-Times, and the San Diego Union-Tribune, plus several books.
