Better Digital Camera

Hello, Nick Rains here.

I'm the Editor of Better Digital Camera and I just wanted to introduce the magazine and what we are about.

Better Digital Camera is one of three magazines published by the Better Publishing Group, the others being Better Photography by Peter Eastway and Better Photoshop Techniques by Philip Andrews. My magazine is slightly oriented towards gear, you'll find full reviews and lots of info about using camera equipment in the 124 pages that make up each issue.

BDC (Better Digital Camera) is published quarterly, and this means that we have a very long lead time. Typically I have to have an issue ready for printing at about the same time as the previous issue hits the news-stands. Consequently I'm often thinking 2 issues ahead and it also means that if something is started in one issue, it might not be fully running until two issues later. Reader Images are a good example - this was announced in Issue 34 but it's not going to really get up and running until Issue 36, due out in January 2010. I've already had entries as I write this - thank you - so please be patient as they won't appear for 6 months yet!

BDC has the most content of all the photography magazines - about 100 pages per issue are full of photographic information and we try to be the best value around. This website is a new venture too - I plan to start adding important news here, in advance of the print version, so it can be more topical, and I can also Blog about what's happening in my own world of pro photography.

Best Wishes

Nick Rains
