Customer Reviews of Popular Photography & Imaging

Good Photography Magazine
I won't repeat the other reviewers too much, but this is a good general purpose magazine. The biggest benefit is the magazine's product reviews. At just about $1/issue, this is a decent read. A portion of the magazine is dedicated to ads like most other publications, but the good content stays up front. <
> <
>They have some good travel pieces and will have some informative technical articles at times. The technical pieces vary in the degree of difficulty. Sometimes they are very beginner and other times they are more informative and advanced. Overall, the magazine is a good buy at the subscription price.

Uninspired Magazine of Limited Usefulness
As others have said, this magazine is maybe useful if you're a total beginner. Every issue is essentially the same--so much so that I can't even tell them apart from looking at the covers. Also if you own a camera already, much of the magazine is irrelevant product reviews. <
> <
>This magazine truly caters to the lowest common denominator. Letters to the editors are petulant and unnecessary (one even complained about the use of the word "photo" instead of "photograph"). Don't expect a single to issue to go by without some uninformed digital vs film mudslinging. <
> <
>This magazine is not about photography as art so much as photography as a technical process. The pictures included are usually techincally very good and aesthetically interesting, but very very conventional landscapes, wildlife, and portraits. Don't expect any innovation and risk here. For a magazine that focuses on the art of photograpy consider something like JPG magazine. <

>If you're a beginner this may help you out, and if you're on the market for a new piece of equipment the reviews could be useful. Otherwise, expect to find the same information rehashed ad nausium, ignorant pundants trying to sound important, and columns and articles that manage to spend several pages saying nothing. Oh, and you can see some nice but generic pictures.

good magazine, a little late with reviews
A good magazine with good mix of articles, how tos and ads. The only problem is that they are a little slow with review of new products
