Customer Rating:      Summary: Digital Photographer Magazine Comment: The review of new photo products are excellent. Well written in my opinion. Highly recommend this magazine.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Good coverage of digital technology (but tape delayed) Comment: Print magazines are behind current news by about 3-4 months. The websites have news about new digital cameras instantenously. The print magazines are destined to be 3-4 months behind. If you are looking for the latest news, you will get them tape-delayed if you only read magazines.
However, this magazine goes more in depth than some other ...popular magazines. The reviews are actually 4-5 pages long, not one-page politically correct recaps of the feature lists. (Still nowhere near as technical as the web reviews).
Having said all that, and understanding the limitations of print magazines, this is a good, affordable magazine to read if you are interested in digital photography. It has some useful and helpful information, reasonable reviews, and some interesting articles.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Digital Photographer Comment: This magazine is so delightful! Fantastic tutorials-great photos and wonderful info.
I enjoy it very much and wouldn't hesitate to subscribe again. I heartily recommend it.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Latest Digital Tricks of the Trade Comment: After reading several digital photography books, and going to grad school classes... I found this magazine to be far superior to anything published in this country. There are many articles on artists, workshop-type tutorials, as well as the latest and most fantastic hardware and software for the digital fan. I believe this magazine has something for everyone... from beginner to more advanced at relatively low cost. In addition, I have found two other British publications, Digital Camera World, and Digital Photography Techniques (both at www.dcmag.co.uk), that I would strongly recommend for those who can afford them.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Pretty much like popular photography, only for digital Comment: Like popular photography, this magazine is all about the equipment (and software). I guess I'd say it's more useful than Pop. Photo. because there is so much new technology coming out all the time that there's a bit more reason to stay on top of things. And if you take articles about how to software as being about technique rather than advertising for the software, there is a good bit about technique.
Still, if you have bought your camera and know how to use your software and are not constantly looking to upgrade, you might not get a lot of use out of this magazine. Very little about art in here.
