I am not sure where this post should be located as I cannot find a suitable forum. So I've just picked the D700 forum for now. Anyway, hopefully the moderators will move it to wherever it's appropriate please.

I have searched the site with "N-Photo" and nothing appears, so I am assuming no threads have been posted on Nikonians. There is a new magazine being launched in November called N-Photo and is a dedicated Nikon monthly magazine with a DVD containing monthly instructional videos on Nikon Capture NX2, Photoshop etc. Whether this is an exclusive UK/Europe launch I don't know, but if anyone is interested please follow the following link: http://www.mediaweek.co.uk/news/1098126/Future-set-launch-N-Photo-Nikon-magazine/

In the UK the first 3 issues cost £5, with a direct debit set up.

Hope it's of interest.

I saw it on nikonrumors a week or so ago. It's very expensive so I'll wait until someone else plunges in. I read that it's the same people who do a similar thing with Canon. They weren't very complimentary on the value for the price.

All photo magazines in the UK tend to be expensive. They range between £3.99 - £4.99. If it's a worthwhile magazine then the Direct Debit price works out around £3.50 (about $6)a magazine per month.

Hi Jose.

I am sure if you contact via the link I gave they will ship worldwide. I cannot believe it won't be a worldwide circulation. Perhaps you could contact www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk and they can help as that's who I'm dealing with. Good luck

That's a good site. If you live in the UK you can order a single magazine but if you are in the US or outside of the UK your choices are either a 1 year or 2 year subscription. I guess you have to go on faith that it's a good magazine.

Not really, I could just cancel the quarterly direct debit. I haven't ever done that, but if it failed to live up to its promises I would. Most UK subscribers have a minimum of one year direct debit, with a much cheaper two year deal also. What I liked about this magazine offer is the first 3 issues cost only £5 (approx. $7.5).

Thanks Steve, yep that's correct. Are there any plans for a US release to your knowledge?

For US readers, we can get the 3 Trials issues for $10 at this site:

http://www.imsnews.com/home.php?page=magPage&pubid=5789

IMSNews is a magazine distributor in the North East.

As usual people in the EU get seen off, UK & USA get a special offer while we (Malta in my case) get nothing except an advance notification as we are good customers of future publishing.
We get UK mags ages after they are published and if you think they are expensive in the UK try raising the mortgage in the rest of the EU.
Its £5 for three initial issues UK citizens
Its 10 dollars for three in USA.
Its a £59.99 for thirteen to me, not sure of actual cost as cover price would have to be converted to Euro and I dont know cover price (or the huge mark up when bought in a local shop as opposed to mail order with postal charges.

Visit my Nikonians gallery.

In the UK 12 editions would cost £59.99. Yes, we do have the offer of the first 3 for £5, which takes the total down to £49.90. According to my calculations from the suppliers the European cost is £76.99 (€90.93) delivered for 12 copies. I suppose it could be even more for Malta as this is possibly a European mainland price.

I can only imagine your frustration.

Just received my first copy of N-Photo. Basically and as to be expected, it's a "Digital Camera" magazine concentrating on Nikon products including some Nikon Capture NX2 software. It is, also as expected, the Nikon equivilent of the Canon users "PhotoPlus". Both magazine and DVD use some of the same presenters as "Digital Camera", though the first DVD does a "new learner" lesson on Nikon Capture NX2. Photoshop and Elements exercises are also included, although I found I already had similar lessons on the "Digital Camera's Teach yourself Photoshop" DVD's.

The layout of the magazine is typical "Digital Camera" format with the usual commonality of all photo magazine equipment retailers.

Although it's layout is identical almost to "Digital Photo" I hope I can hopefully ditch that magazine in favour of one that does at least focus principally on Nikon and third party Nikon lens providers. That said I also hope to see far more in depth DVD projects as time goes on. I would like to see a magazine that appeared independant of Digital Camera in presentation and format, instead of same old, same old.

It's early days and readers will make their own minds up, but I am looking for far more from what describes itself as "100% Nikon - 100% Independent". I look forward to the comments of others.

Visit my Nikonians gallery

My first impression from quickly scanning through the first issue is that it's no worse than any other Future Publishing photography/camera magazine I've read. With FP being based in Bath (and me living in Bristol) I get to see plenty of pictures of places I know well and photograph myself.

The one thing it has in its favour is that it is dedicated to Nikon so with the same column inches available there's more space to be brand specific.

I've taken up the initial 3 issues offer so time will tell ......

Yes, I agree. Canon friends who bought the Canon version of the magazine said that they had a good experience for about 18 months and slowly the magazine, like all photo magazines, became slightly repetative in content. As you say we will see, but I find I have enjoyed copy 1.

I was interested that N-Photo magazine marked down the D300s against the D7000, but a month earlier in the October 2011 edition of Digital Camera, they marked the D300s a star above it! Perhaps they know something we don't, like a D400 is on a near horizon

I read the magazine today. First impressions were it wasn't any different from the other magazines on the market except it had a Nikon bias. Nothing really for the experienced photographer. Articles mostly on shooting with filters. On page 11 an article about ND grads where it recommended using Matrix as the metering mode. The "normal" advice is to spot meter or use center weighted mode. I think their advice is misleading on this issue. No mention of the other two modes.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/43019448@N04/

I would agree with your comments and also reiterate my comment before that they seem to differ with advice although both magazines are from the same stable. Overall, it's not a bad buy and I can always find even as an experienced photographer something I needed a refresher on.

That's just not accurate. The ND grad item is a sidebar in a much larger article about a talented amateur getting to spend the day shooting landscapes with a highly respected pro (which will be a regular feature, apparently, and it's called The N-Photo Apprentice - great idea).

Stating that N-Photo has a Nikon bias is a lot like stating that Microsoft has a Windows bias - it just doesn't tell the correct story. N-Photo is a dedicated, 100% Nikon monthly magazine. The editorial quality is quite good, it's photo heavy, layouts are good but could use some improvement, and print quality is very good. There are excellent articles in the current issue - The N-Photo Apprentice piece is 12 pages long and covers a huge amount of technique, including the aforementioned sidebar on ND grads, as well as sidebars on multi-stop ND filters, panoramas, planning and gear in addition to the pro guidance. You get great insight into how Jeremy Walker achieves his look.

This inaugural issue also contains a detailed enough explanation of the mag's gear testing methods and the software and hardware being used to test Nikon gear and Nikon-compatible gear. It will be a good reference issue to keep.

There are separate technique articles on slow-sync flash, lens effects, the Nikopedia Photo Quiz, zoom burst shooting, a pro sports photog interview of Tom Jenkins, camera reviews, lens reviews and more still. The mag is packed with information of use to a wide range of photographers with a wide range of skill sets. Get the mag if you can.

I picked up my copy at the smaller WH Smith store at Victoria tube, so I'd guess most decent sized Smith stores will have a copy. Don't know what other sellers have it - didn't check Waterstones or Blackwells.

Added: Almost forgot - N-Photo Magazine comes with a cover DVD that contains a lot of interesting content, mostly video lessons on a variety of subjects including Capture NX2, fine art effects, digital darkroom and several others.

Howard. Having had the magazine for a month and now having read it front to back, or in my case back to front because I'm weird that way, I have found it very good and enjoyed it. As I am new to ND filter photography and busy learning slow speed benefits that alone was of interest. I agree with everything you say and am looking forward to receiving No 2 next week.

My only point of critisism is that as it's a sister mag to "Digital Camera" I wonder how the "100% Independant" promise will pan out. As I have already mentioned in an earlier post there seems to be a slight inconsistancy. N-Photo rate the D300s as 3 stars, the D7000 as 5 stars yet in October's "Digital Camera" their opinion is reversed. Yet it's the same team doing the comparisons. We shall see.

I haven't seen the review in Digital Camera. You're saying the different reviews for each magazine were written by the exact same testing team?

My Nikonians Gallery

Howard Carson, Managing Editor
Kickstartnews Inc. - http://www.kickstartnews.com

No. not quite. The editor and many others are new to N-Photo, however Angela Nicholson the "Head of Testing", conducts this role for both magazines. So, I would guess that she was responsible for both star ratings in both magazines. I don't suppose this makes an important difference and perhaps both cameras were testing in slightly different ways. However, I did find it misleading. Attached are the relevant pages for you to see. It made me smile at the header for the N-Photo review "Your dilema resolved"! It is well worth reading the full review for both cameras in N-Photo and comparing to the Digital Camera Mag.

N-Photo D300s v D7000 - Dec. 2011
Digital Camera Mag. D300s Review - Oct. 2011
Digital Camera Mag. D7000 Review - Oct. 2011

Visit my Nikonians gallery

Thanks for the scans.

I think we shouldn't assume at all that just because the head of testing is the same person, that the team writing the review is going to come up with the exact same results. Obviously anyway, they didn't. It's clear - abundantly so - from comparing the reviews side-by-side, that the reviewers have weighted different aspects of the cameras in their own respective ways. N-Photo basically rates the D300s lower than the D7000 because of image resolution, full HD video (and better video implementation in general), and also paid short shrift to the differences in build quality.

Digital Camera, on the other hand, has given much more weight to the pro-class features of the D300s, including build quality and shooting speed among other things. Even so, DC only gave the D300s a 4 out-of-5 rating. That's still high, but not reversed (5/5) with the reviews in N-Photo.

I think the various reviews and their ratings are all good in this situation, but clearly reflect the different approaches each magazine is taking with respect to feature & function weightings and to the overall product ratings. I also don't want every mag or site that reviews Nikon cameras to provide me with identical results, rather I'd prefer that different review teams or individuals ensure their own views and priorities are front & center in their respective reviews even if they derive data from a common test lab.

How else can I put this . . . . some people think AF-C is absolutely the only way in which a Nikon autofocus system should ever be set - period, end of story. Some people think that AF-S is the only way to shoot and that anyone who shoots any other way is a confounded goof. Most people though, tend to agree that AF-S and AF-C settings are purpose-specific (and I think they're correct). Similarly, some reviewers are adamant about build quality being weighted highly, some reviewers don't care about build quality at all and prefer resolution at the top of their considerations (there are as many variations of different feature and function priorities as there are reviewers), and most find some reasonable combination of weightings and ratings which reflect a considered balance.

The point is that you and I can look at the exact same data set, consider it all from our respective positions, experiences, technical knowledge and photography references to come up with notably different reviews of a product. Some reviewers (who also happen to be street photographers) prefer the D7000. Some reviewers (who also happen to be landscape photographers) prefer the D7000 - or the D300s. Or the D7000. That variation in preference also contributes to how review data is weighted and how products are rated.

I think we are both agreed on the methodology and why. I have no arguments with either magazines, but originally raised it as a discussion point. My reasoning now is that it is easy for a potential buyer to be swayed by a single review, as you rightfully say both reviews concentrate on different aspects. However, it would be more than useful if that balance was achieved in all articles, otherwise assumptions could be disproportionatly applied. That, if nothing else is the greatest attribute of this forum.

Visit my Nikonians gallery

I think I disagree with you because I have the impression that both reviews did touch on all of the same things/points/features more or less. It's just that the reviews were balanced in somewhat different ways. I think that "balance" is an elusive goal, and that in the course of questing for completely even balance as a reviewer the end result will more often be mediocrity rather than balance. I don't know how (or if) you are personally swayed by a single review. The thing is, it is only after reading several reviews of the same product that we are able to derive some sort of broadly detailed opinion about whether or not the product might suit out needs or interests. Expecting anything else may be, I think, somewhat unrealistic.

I think that most photography product reviews are, in fact, balanced from the perspective of the reviewer. That some sense of balance doesn't feel present after you've personally taken in a few of the reviews is only an indication that you, personally also, have definite opinions about what priorities should be emphasized or balanced in camera product reviews. There is not a right balance - reviewers have biases, they're fallible, and they have their own personal photography preferences (street, landscape, portraiture, wildlife, art, architecture, etc., etc., etc.).

If reviewers tried to write them simultaneously according to both your definition of what constitutes balance and my definition, it would most often produce a mighty confusing or cross-purposed review. I think you're a perfectly good photographer, but I'm just not interested in shooting the same things that interest you - not at all. For that reason, I seek out reviewers over the years who use equipment for the same purposes as I do. I get the most accurate opinions, for my needs, in doing so. I recommend that all Nikonians do the same - seek out product reviewers who are interested in their sort of photography.

I think that as long as a particular reviewer isn't overly brand-biased (e.g., hammering a Nikon or Sony product because he's a Canon nut) that balance in reviews is already present and that most reviewers, review teams and publications produce their own 'take' on what constitutes that balance.

That's funny! Problem is, I think has his own natural preferences - he's a wildlife shooter and landscape shooter first and foremost isn't he? Still, that doesn't in any way detract from the respect I've got for his acumen and efforts.

There's yet another side to reviewing which I think Thom addresses for me. He seems to describe things in ways which are easier for me to understand. That is, he's a concise writer who takes time to ensure his English makes sense. Too many writers (in print, on web sites, in blogs) make insufficient editorial efforts. Given that Thom blogs on just as tight a schedule as other reviewers, his writing nonetheless seems to contain fewer errors, better sentence construction and so on. That quality is also evident in his books (for which I assume he maintains some professional editorial support).

I was not a great advocate of the ByThom pages until the D7000 review. As an example, my first copy of the camera was in both my and the camera shop opinion without doubt faulty. It was incapable of focusing in any form of sharpness unless it had a lens between e.g. 24mm to 100mm fitted. Lenses of 300mm or greater were a nonsense. The replacement was a learning curve, but one I overcame largely by the help of folks here. Hogan seemed to dismiss the focus problems as those of an inept camera user, which to me was salt in an open wound. Some, not many, dismissed my faulty camera as the photographers problem not the camera.

However, I have warmed to ByThom of late and I appreciate his comments were intended to be helpful. The lesson learnt is that new cameras are new technology. If one waits for the ByThom report the up side is one either buys it against his opinions or even better, by the time he gets around to publishing it the camera has usually reduced somewhat in price. Also camera technology has been fully investigated.

I am very suspicious of magazine reviews as their tests are not always fully exhaustive and as you say often concentrate on certain aspects only. I am hoping that the pages of N-Photo grasp this and as it's a dedicated Nikon reference, give extensive time and copy to reviews of new and existing gear.

Well I think that the best magazines survive on the depth and quality of the variety they contain, not on the ultimate depth of their individual product reviews. The problem with in-depth product reviews in print is that the magazine ends up with a lot of pages filled with technical detail that the vast majority of people don't read. All those pages cost money, so magazines tend to pack several reviews into the same amount of space as a single, fully detailed review. People want conclusions these days - there's precious little interest in the arduous process followed to arrive at a particular set of conclusions.

Anyone who has the wherewithal to check detailed web site statistics of detailed, multi-page reviews online will find that the opening description page and the closing conclusion page attract the vast majority of page views by far. That's why we find the most reader-friendly details and the details of greatest general interest on those two pages.

I like N-Photo's widely varied content. I doubt the mag will show up on North American mag shelves though, and the cost of subscribing to an address in Canada is prohibitive. It will remain a novelty, something I'll pick up each time I'm in the UK (several times per year).

Just received my first issue from Chapters book store in Ancaster, Ontario. Like many British publications I prefer to peruse them off the shelf before I decide to buy.

Visit my Nikonians gallery.

I'm not sure but I believe I have been scammed. I'm in the USA and last month I accepted an offer on Facebook, supposedly from N-Nikon. I decided to check out three issues for $10, and was told I'd receive my first issue in February.

Today, Dec 31, I discovered three charges to my credit card for a total of $901. The first was for a dollar with Google. I never bought anything from Google! Another charge was to a spa in the U.K. The third charge was also to the U.K. Fortunately the card company queried these charges with me and will not be charging my account.

Being that I have never bought anything else from the U.K. I am now suspecting that the website I went to, from Facebook, was a fraud. They got my card number and waited a few weeks to use it. And I thought I was too smart to get caught this way.

I guess I've learned my lesson about using a credit card from offers on Facebook or any other social network.

I came here to seek information on the publisher to see if they have my name in their records, and I think I now have the link to it. Thank you.

So sorry to hear this story. It just goes to show what a miserable world it can be with these thieves active on the web. At least you, like me, when I not only had my credit card details hacked, but my complete identity stolen, have been protected by a vigilant bank.

If it is of help I can confirm the UK contact address is:

Thank you, Richard. I found the place where I thought I ordered the magazine. I sent them an e-mail to see if they have my name and address for a subscription. and they will be getting back to me. Fortunately, I have a fraud protection plan with the card company and it was no problem for them to immediately remove the charges.

Credit card theft is quite a problem as I found out last year when I went to buy a new laptop computer. I filled my car with gas on the way to the shop. At the computer shop my card was refused. I called the card company and they said that thieves usually try the card out with a small purchase, first, then if it works, they go for bigger stuff. If I had bought the computer first and then got gas, there would have been no problem. Their computers are set to automatically block suspicious transactions.

Before that, I found my card blocked when I stopped for gas. When I called the company, it was because I had purchased two CDs of music mostly bought by black people. Somehow they knew from my transactions that I am a Caucasian, and they thought a black person had stolen my card. That is racist but apparently it has been a problem for them.

Scary really. Mine was taken at a petrol station and they handed back what I thought was my card wrapped in the receipt. I put the lot in my wallet, what should have been the card was a piece of white plastic! A day later the credit company phoned to say they had stopped someone trying to shift £3500 from my account and please check my wallet. The thieves had also, somehow, got my mothers maiden name, electoral role info and my driver details! Goodness knows how. I didn't have any protection insurance and the bank said "all part of the contract sir" As I say, scary stuff.

Visit my Nikonians gallery

That is much worse to have your identity stolen. I would guess that the thief only got a job in the gas station in order to give him a chance to steal cards, as he did with yours. I would never have thought of such a thing. I'm glad you got it sorted out, though.

I just picked up an iPad subscription, came just over $6 an issue, a lot cheaper then the $15-$20 at the book store

Paying $115 per year for a magazine subscription seems a bit high. I understand that it is printed in Great Britain and shipped to the US but still...thats alot! I looked around and a found a digital version from Zinio.com for $64.99 a year. Still expensive but much better!

http://www.zinio.com/search/index.jsp?pageRequested=1&showTitles=limit&newsstandSearch=true&predict=true&flag=mags&s=n-photo&button.x=17&button.y=16

I ordered a single issue on Zinio.com for $6.99 US to check out the mag. Thought it was OK, and can see (and hope, anyhow) that there is some potential. Even the digital copy price on Zinio is a bit high though, so will have to think a little more before signing up for 1 year of it. Figure I have a 1 month decision period since I've got the most current issue anyhow.

I found the December issue at Barnes and Noble here in Illinois. As usual for a British magazine it is quite impressive in it's layout printing and content. It is nice to find a magazine that focuses on Nikon. But, I have found photo mags become repetitive after a while. Also I wonder why they don't just transmit data to a printer in the USA and have it printed here. It would be less expensive for us in the states.I know you can download it but I like a book in my hand, just as I like a photograph on paper.

Visit my Nikonians gallery.

I agree about the high cost and wanting a hard copy. I have enough trouble reading all our posts on Nikonians, much less a magazine or book on the PC.

I have bought all 3 issues that I have found in the US. I got 2 from Barns & Noble and the last issue at Books-a-Million. I really like the magazine and it has helped me. I have bought several copies of it's parent (Digital Photo?) magazine and have found them all OK. The new N-Photo is better for us Nikon shooters but I won't send them my credit card number. I will look each issue over in the store and then decide if I want to get it or not.

I am about to buy a wide angle zoom for my D7k. I wish I could afford the Nikkor but just can't. The last N-Photo magazine tested these lenses. They rated the Nikon the best but the Sigma 10-20 looks almost as good for about 60% of the cost. Therefore, the latest issue of N-Photo probably more than paid for itself. I will most likely get the Sigma.

Marlin

Hi Marlin.

Yes, I'm pleased with the magazine too. I think its sister magazine is "Digital Camera", which is part of the Future Publishing Group, whereas "Digital Photo" is part of "Bauer Consumer Media" On that point I had a camera long exposure problem and posted Digital Camera for an answer. They duly obliged and the problem has now been resolved

It's even better that you have used NPhoto to make a decision about your latest lens. Hopefully, I will continue to subscribe for a long time to come.

Could you say what the answer was? I didn't see the original post. I have been using this filter for two years and I haven't had the problem. Taken exposures up to about 5 minutes.

Believe it or not, it was light intruding through the plastic scale viewer on the front of my 24-70mm f2.8 lens despite the fact I had the blid closed on my D700. I covered it in black tape when using very long exposures and the problem ceased.

Well, I just subscribed to the iPad version so I'll give it a chance.

I started subscribing at the end of last year and I love it...a lot of good info in all the issues I've read. I also like the fact they show concrete things you can try. So far, every time I've finished one issue I've been anticipating the next.

Hi Nikonians,

I subscribed the mag last November, and the service provided by Future Publishing has been awful. The first issue (out on the 24th nov), i got it after Xmas. The 3rd issue never got it, and I don't live that far away - Portugal.
Concerning the mag (the issues I got) I think it's a very good one - I buy almost all of them.
