Seriously lacking in any real content. Subscribed for a year and opted not to renew even when renewal was offered at a major discount. Go with Popular Photography or even Outoor Photography. Don't forget about RangeFinder, which is available for free, but geared towards professionals and semi-professionals.

American Photo showcases master photographers and their work. Yes, this sometimes means nudity, but in many place and for many thousands of years that has simply been a form of art. If you want to see great photos, on a beautiful glossy finish, pick up this magazine. If you want to know how the photographer snapped that shot this is not the magazine for you. Personally, I find this magazine as a source of inspiration. I page through, finding ideas along the way and the magazine is priced well for this purpose.

I can't think of too much to say about a magazine, but if you are a photographer (amateur or pro) or just interested in art, this is a good magazine with a good mixture of artistic insight, techniques, gear review, and artist interviews. Not cluttered with ads like some other photography magazines.
If you are into landscape photography, I would suggest another magazine like Outdoor Photographer.

This is a magazine for serious photographers and others interested in the art of photography. There is little in it for techno-geeks, gadget-hounds or the snap shooter who only takes his camera to the annual family reunion. But if you're serious about photography, this magazine contains is a lot of good photography and excellent profiles of professional phtographers and how they work.

While not as technical as the ubiquitous Popular Photography magazine, American Photo is a much glossier monthly with stunning pictures and great advice. For the price, it is worth adding to your list.
