 Worth the Money
Very practical and very useful magazine from England and well worth the big price especially since you get a dvd tutorial with the mad every month
Digital Camera
Just the finest photography magazine on the market. Not filled with ads and ratings, but great how to's and tutorials. If I could read only one mag, this would be it.
 Bad subscription
I do a subscription with this magzine on November 2006, and till now we are on May 2007 while i am writing this review, i did not recieve any issue from them ? Although i did a full subsription payed in advance and full .
I e.mail them so many times for the reason of this unusual delay, Unfortunately they report a frustrated replies like ( we dispatched the isuue with the carrier )and many unreasonable replies, and some times they don't reply to my inquiry at all ?
from the start and befor doing this unfortunate subscription with this mag, I was thinking i'am doing subscription with the Malaysian DCM issue not U.K one, and i was'nt attentive of the U.K issue befor doing that subscription .
disregard on what the material & content of the U.K issue, I found this is unsatisfying even if they are the best photography magazine in the world .
Incredibly Informative, times 10!
I had subscriptions to most of the American zines. About the only thing learned = what new cameras had been recently released, and even then, the writing style is akin to cheerleading rather than need-to-know info like noise and image quality. I cancelled them all, and instead started making monthly treks to my local newsstand for this and other UK zines. Simply stated, I learn more per issue than I do reading full books on whatever topic. One issue may be devoted to landscapes, another to macros, flowers, sunsets, etc. If you genuinely want to learn how to improve your photography, THIS is your key.
BTW, do NOT think this is all about dSLRs only. While I do have a dSLR, I also have a pocket-friendly Fuji e900 digicam (replacing an FZ50, which itself was replaced with a dSLR). The e900 has multiple dSLR-like controls. This zine teaches what control to change to get which effect in a particular circumstance, so it's also manna for those with digicams sporting an aperture/speed control dial mode, as well as white balance, exposure compensation and other tweaking controls.
It's admittedly a big chunk out of your wallet in one step, but turns out, it's the best bang for the buck long term.
Best PHOTO MAG EVER!!
I concur w/ the prev. reviewer. Forget the American mags, they are either full of advertisements or they are for elitist pompous professionals who want to show off their work and make snooty comments. Digital Camera mag is great for the novice and intermediate level photographers out there who want to learn how to take great shots. They give you simple, hands-on instructions in photoshop or out in the field and how to improve YOUR photos. Sometimes they give you a cheap DIY option vs. other mag's telling you that you need to buy such and such to achieve an effect. Oh, can't forget the FREE CD PShop TUTORIALS!! Gorgeous photo spreads from other amateurs, articles about professional photographers, monthly photo contests, relevant information, friendly to the reader, and not condescending at all (like most of the camera mags out there). And yes, near the end of the mag they talk about up and coming gadgets but that's in the back where it belongs. ^_^ If you just picked up a digital SLR and want to know more about how to get the most out of it. BUY THIS MAG!!!!
