 Serious enthusiasts beware, 2001-10-26
If you're used to reading photography magazines geared toward serious enthusiasts (Popular Photography and the ilk) and thought that PC Photo would give you that much-needed focus on advanced digital photography topics, think again.
This magazine is focused on the digital novice, spending more of its column inches on puff pieces, with little in the way of improving technique or useful equipment reviews. Most of the coverage is of the gear itself, with little objective reporting and reviewing. You could get the same content by culling the press releases and brochures of the various manufacturers of digital photo gear.
There are some interesting pieces once every few issues, like one on the growing use of digital photography in sports reporting, which did touch on some technique and real-world examples of digital photography in the field. But most of the content is gadget worship fluffery. If you're interested in becoming a digital photographer and kno!w absolutely nothing about what to buy or the need to get up to speed on the very basics, pick up a couple of issues of PC Photo at the newsstand until you get your bearings. Otherwise, avoid this magazine.
