I've mentioned it before here, but electronic versions of these magazines exist via several services. I belong to Readly, $9.95/mo and I get all of the above magazines. I view them on my iPad. You can always access any issue anytime, basically anywhere. I think it is the way to go given you get access to so many magazines for such a modest monthly payment. Have fun!

the best magazines are british. All american mags are 90% advertising and the ads are linked to directly the page across from a connected article. Been reading the mags since the fifties... no more. Everything helpful is on the net along with a lost of junk there too.

I doubt if any mag ever made a professional photographer, or improved that many amateur and advanced amateurs.

In over 50 years of reading the magazines, some great issues, some poor issues, I've never failed to learn at least a little bit each time. In total, I learned a lot from this reading. I do miss some of the magazines, but I do realize what is happening and don't expect to see much available in printed for in the future. Our loss. Best of luck.

"Digital Camera" a UK mag that gets mailed across the world to me every month. Excellent value

This is the one I use as well.

I'd forgotten about Shutterbug's predecessor, Shutterbug Ads. Back in those pre-internet days, it was the best source on how to find photo stuff.

Hi. I have been looking at this Forum for about three weeks and joined about a week ago.
I am an older photo taker going back to my old Petri that I bought in the Philippines in 1965.
Went to digital with a Sony Alpha7and moved to Canon three years ago.
I am curious as to which photo mags the other members read. I had subscribed to Pop Photo but that is now discontinued.
Any suggestions??

There is an excellent, Canon-only mag, out of England, called EOS magazine:

www.eos-magazine.com

I subscribe to both the print and digital versions. Well worth the money, IMO.

Thanks to all that answered my question on the photo mags and appreciate the welcome messages.
Looking forward to learning more about this interesting hobby.
Thanks again.

By the way, someone mentioned PhotoPlus for Canon. There is a also a Nikon version, PhotoPlus for Nikon. Both come with a CD each month that contains a video of their main how-to articles that month etc.

FWIW

I was in B & N today looking at the various mags. Saw the Nikon one from England but didn't see the Canon issue.
Didn't see the "Digital Camera one either.
Have to do some more looking.
Thanks again for the suggestions.

Forget magazines and use YouTube, www.dpreview, www.dxomark.com, and other review sites. There are thousands of blogs and online courses out there. Many of them are better sources than ANY current photography magazine.

Magazines, for the most part, are relics from the 20th century.

Go to Photo Plus, "The Canon Magazine'. Produced in England and sold at Barnes and Noble. Not a cheap magazine ,but it has every thing you would want to know. $13 bucks at B&N. I love it and pick it up whenever I see an interesting article on the front page. Go for it.

I subscribe to this magazine. If you are a Canon shooter, it is by far the best magazine. I also subscribe to Outdoor Photography. I once subscribed to popular photography, but was never happy with it.
