Have any of the organizers of this fantastic effort to save dpreview's digital "encyclopaedia" from Amazon's vandalism approached the manufacturers as yet. They should have a vital interest in keeping this going and growing.

Well, yes, but I would think that Canon, Sony etc should be quite interested in sponsoring these efforts financially, with adverts etc. It obviously is very important for them to keep this going.
Thy really don't get it then. It's all very well getting out amazing products but especially the semi professional photogs need to hear about it and the test results were a vital independent resource. Who would just trust the word of the manufacturers and their shills?
