I'm not sure how this will affect the site, if at all.

I can see a few more links appearing in the review sections (all to amazon of course) but hopefully the forums will remain untouched.

Amazon might also start to use the reviews on its sites??

They should do - amazon is still independant of the manufactures so unless they get a good discount to sell a camera, it is unlikely there would be any need to be biased.
