Beginning Digital Photography April 12, 2003

This magazine is great for beginning to intermediate digital camera users. I think that it is especially great for beginners. There are articles about how to choose the right camera for your purpose and about what all the specifications mean. There are question and answer sections that answer a broad range of questions including how to avoid common computer errors and how to format different digital devices. I like the photo editing tips, which explain some of the more elusive aspects of most digital photo editing programs and how to use them. The photo-editing program described most often is adobe photoshop and photoshop elements; however, quick advice is also give about how to apply these tips to other programs. For more advanced film camera users, there are tips for how to make the same quality image with a digital camera and stories of professional photographers who have switched to digital. However, most professional photographers will use macs to edit their photos rather than PCs and more advanced photo editing software. Mostly this magazine caters to amateur photographers and the lower end photo-editing programs that are most often used. There are also reviews of new gadgets, which are often fun to read, and plenty of market place like advertising in the back. This magazine is what it advertises and nothing more.

Good information September 5, 2002

This is a respectable magazine in the field of digital photography. It offers solid reviews of new cameras, scanners, software, and other photography-related devices with helpful advice and tips on improving your digital photos. The digital photography field is still fairly new. I expect that, as more people get experienced, that additional techniques will become interesting to learn about -- and that the magazine will continue to mature which will ultimately earn the publication a 5-star rating.

I'd recommend this for someone new to the field who is looking at making decisions on hardware and software to purchase and for someone who is looking to upgrade from their existing gear to something new. It is probably not as valuable to those who have more experience.

I picked a copy of the up from the newsstand. I may have caught them on a bad issue, but I found it very lacking in usable information. The product reviews are lacking in info. Many photos are presented, but no details are given about how the shots were taken.

There were several articles about manipulating the photos with computer software, and reviews about very losely related computer hardware and software.

I also picked up a copy of Digital Photographer and found that much more to my liking.

This mag is the one for you whether you're a novice or an expert. Good writing on new products and software. Great features on new products. Fantastic How-To articles and tips.
I have subscribed since it first hit the market. I keep every issue for referral/resource material. Not since Modern Photography or Popular Photography has there been such a mag.
