CP+ has wrapped up for the year, with over 23,000 attendees visiting the show in the first two days. We’ve been hard at work covering it, so some of the members sat down to discuss the event, the news that was released during it, and some of the things we learned from our discussions with camera manufacturers.
As an added bonus, here are some stats provided by CP+, which help speak to some of the trends we discuss in the show:
- 45 of the show’s 149 exhibiters were there for the first time
- The first two days saw over 1100 more attendees than the first two days of the show in 2025

Another fun fact: while Abby didn’t end up buying an OM-1 after the discussion, she did buy an Olympus M-1, the predecessor to the OM-1.
Our DPREVIEW Tribute:
After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview closed on 10 April 2023. This difficult decision was part of the annual operating plan review that parent company, Amazon, shared earlier this year.
Over the course of 25 years, DP Review built up a reputation as being one of the most informative places to go for information about that new camera or lens you’re after. DP Review began as an independent reviews site based in the UK in 1998, the brainchild of Philip and Joanna Askey, but it was eventually purchased by Amazon in 2007 and relocated over to Seattle in the USA in 2010.
Cheers DPReview – thanks for the great work and content that guided photographers, videographers and techno junkies the world over!
