To help spark those conversations and give you all another place to share your thoughts, we're kicking off a 'Question of the week' series in the forums. It's your chance to share your insight, and an opportunity to be showcased in the forums or on the homepage.

Question of the week

As the name suggests, the forum's 'Question of the week' will highlight a new question every Wednesday in the Open Talk forum. We'll throw out one thought-provoking question each week, and you all get to comment with your own take.

These questions may come from the DPReview team, or could come from you in the community as well. If you have an idea for a question, please share it in a forum post response. We'll be sure to recognize those whose queries we use.

Week one: What five questions should you ask yourself when buying a new camera?

To kick this series off, we were inspired by our recent conversation with Mathew Anderson, our new Community Manager. Last week, some of the DPReview team sat down to chat with Mathew about what his new camera should be. Instead of keeping that in a private Slack channel, we recorded it so you all could hear our thoughts, too. It was a great chat, and you can watch the full video on our YouTube channel.

Importantly, though, that discussion highlighted that for anyone buying a new camera, there are some critical questions you should ask yourself first. So, we're curious, what five questions do you think are most important to ask when buying a new camera? Head on over to the 'Question of the week' post in the Open Talk forum to share your take.

For this kick-off question, we'll be highlighting five distinct answers on the homepage. We'll make those selections on Monday and update this post with the results, so be sure to get your thoughts in before then!
