Hi all i am looking to see if there is a mag aimed at Nikon users?

I am told there is one for the Canon users so was looking for a Nikon based one as i have been buying a few and the only one that i can see comes close is Digital Photo.
 
It is an annual subscription though! But then it still works out about a fiver a mag. Little bit steep really.
 
:gag:My Lord!!!! Do you get a free camera with that?:gag:
 
Maybe its like the kids popup books and a guy pops out to show you how to work your camera. There has to be something at that price.
 
AFIK there isn't a Nikon Specific monthly magazine similar to the Canon offering.

I think the Canon magazine appeared to appeal directly to a large part of camera market, which Canon users were/are. Now Nikon has a bigger slice of the market, you would think there would be a Nikon specific magazine, but I think that the Canon user base is large enough (they hope) to sustain that magazine, where the Nikon user base may not be. If the Canon mag were very successful, I think there would have been other magazines targeted at specific brands by now.

From the issues I've seen of the Canon mag, a lot of it was not very Canon specific, but it does catch the eye of some Canon users I know.

If you own a Nikon 'professional' rated camera, and register it with Nikon, you can sign up to the 'Nikon Professional Users Scheme', which will get you, amongst other things, a quarterly Nikon Pro magazine. Basically a very nice brochure with the odd hint and tip, but with some excellent pictures. I think the lowest cameras that qualify are the D200/D300. It says on the site that you need to also have a professional level lens to qualify, but I only have the cameras so they may have changed the minimum requirements after I joined. :shrug:

Now you know why it's the dark side. There's nothing left in your wallet to reflect the light.

No you still need a pro lens too, when you register the applicable products you get an email inviting you to join the scheme
