Respect for keeping dpreview breathing until the last moment like titanic violinists ❤

[Andrew-Andre]

Well done Richard! Thank you for your continued hard work and dedication to the photography community!

[craigcarlson]

Very surprised - but very glad - to see anyone from DPreview putting out these updates. Hang in there!

I'm someone who considers myself to be more of a writer/audio person than a video person, and I recognize when someone is taking one for the video team. I wish you the best, Richard.

Thank you Richard simply for being there and welcoming us the DPReview TV viewers back ❤

Massive respect for Richard.
Z8's a pretty impressive camera. Seems like there's very little compromise compared to Z9. Reminds me of GFX 100S a bit. It's interesting to see what other companies are gonna come up with to compete with this.

So happy to see content from you guys! Here I was this morning thinking that we wouldn't have DpReview to turn to for Z8 analysis.The dream is alive. Stay strong and carry on!

[MarcioK]

Loved the intro also. :) And for someone not used to make review videos, Richard did a very good job.

[kaminobatto]

I am extremely happy to see DP Review still going strong! Awesome work, and thank you for keeping the flag up high!

[rickfarber]

I'm not sure what is more surprising, seeing a new dpreview video, or hearing a Brit say "zee" 8.

Thank you for the well-done review Richard. Would be happy to see many more from you.

[senseofeverthing]

So happy that I'm still subscribed. Please, keep going!

[andreas.farsch]

Well done, thank you Richard! I'm happy to see a new video from DPReview TV.

[Simalacrum]

I genuinely hope there are some efforts going on behind the scene to save DPReview <3
