 One of the Best. February 6, 2003

I have subscribed to Shutterbug for a couple of years and previously purchased it on the newsstand from time-to-time. It is my favorite photography magazine at this point. Shutterbug is a general photography magazine in that it will cover just about any subject relating to photography. I believe their intended readership is intermediate level to professional photographers. I like Shutterbug so much because it exhibits the most variety in it's coverage of photographic technique. For one thing, it has not become dominated by digital imaging like so many photo magazines have. That is not to say that Shutterbug's editors steer clear of digital -not at all. Shutterbug's March issue is dedicated to digital. There are frequent articles on scanning and Photoshop techniques. And David Brooks' monthly Digital Help column is the most useful question and answer forum on the digital darkroom that I have ever encountered. If you are having Photoshop/printer/scanner/pc problems, he is the person to ask. But Shutterbug also covers film extensively... and not just 35 mm film photography. There are articles on everything from subminiature to super-large format. Traditional wet darkroom how-to's are also featured. One of the things that separates Shutterbug from other popular photography magazines is that it does cover so many types of photography and equipment beyond 35 mm. And it always has articles on studio photography, with a particular emphasis on portraits. For the professional, there is a Business Trends monthly column dedicated to marketing and managing tips.
If you are looking for product reviews and tests, Popular Photography has the best lens tests, but is limited to 35 mm. Shutterbug has the most and the best reviews of scanners and printers. And it sometimes reviews large or medium format cameras and lenses.
For those who like black-and-white photography, Shutterbug dedicates their February issue to black-and-white. It features articles on large format fine arts photographers, digital and traditional output, and more. It's always my favorite issue of the year. And there is plenty of information on black-and-white films, papers and digital technique in other issues throughout the year.
All reasonably priced photography magazines have a lot of ads. Photography magazines that don't have ads cost $30-$40 per year for 6 issues. Those with ads cost $10-$20 per year for 10-12 issues. The ads pay for the editorial content. Shutterbug has a lot of ads. Most are in the back of the magazine and can easily be avoided. And Shutterbug's ads are unique in one respect: There are many ads for used, vintage, and collectible equipment. So if that's what you're looking for, Shutterbug is your magazine.
As of February 2003, Shutterbug is being published in standard 8"x11" format and with better quality paper. So saving your favorite issues is no longer a problem. Their previous "tabloid" format fit on no bookshelf and into no briefcase.
One of the best photography magazines around February 22, 2003

I've been a very satisfied subscriber of Shutterbug for years. Admittedly, this magazine was the photographic equivalent of The Computer Shopper, but gradually it has evolved into a valuable resource for advanced amateur and professional photographers interested in learning about the business of photography as well as the latest photographic equipment and techniques. It has benefited from the excellent editorial stewardship of Bob Shell - who still remains with the magazine - and now, George Schaub for nearly a decade; both are two of the best photographers and journalists devoted to reporting on and evaluating the latest trends in photography. Much to its credit, Shutterbug tries to be comprehensive, covering almost every facet of photography, including digital imaging. Those interested in looking beyond the likes of Popular Photography for something a bit more substantial with respect to photography will not be disappointed with this fine magazine.

Now it has been a few years since I have had a subscription to the magazine, but I've been recently rereading a bunch of my older issues, and I am reminded again why Shutterbug is the leading photography magazine. Sure there are a lot of ads, more than in any other magazine (but this is a bigger magazine than most of the other photo magazines), but that is to be expected (though I wish they were more like American Photo and put them all together at the end rather than spread them throught the magazine). This is a mostly technical magazine with tips and product reports. It's pretty much a must for the photographer at all levels of skill. Read a few issues and you'll see why it is generally considered the best in its field.
Best Photo Magazine out there!! December 28, 2004

Hello. I love this magazine. I've tried all the rest and now I found the best. Many of these reviews have talked about ads and in truth all magazines (Whether they are photo, computer, knitting, etc...) feature ads. Whether they are one or many they exist. Without it the magazines would cost too much money for anyone to want to read it. With that said I have found a magazine that appeals to the novice to the professional. It gets into more than the rest. If you need to invest in one to find out what you like in photography (Film & Digital), then please subscribe. I'm sure you'll be just as happy as me. What I like it that even I who can learn something new. Take care and thank you for choosing this review!!!!
Shutterbug--an anomaly among photomags January 3, 2003
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Have been a subscriber now for some time, and now with the February 2003 edition with the new format (new size, better paper), I anticipate great things for this, the cheapest but most useful photomag I know. Other photomags pander to the best wishes of their biggest advertisers, in a word: boring. ... But Shutterbug is much more than just ads--look at the February issue for some really excellent articles and well-printed photos.
