 magazine
Ive had a subscription to this magazine in the past and I liked it. So I subscribed again. But its taken about 3 months and I still have not had a magazine delivered. Im rather disappointed that it would take so long for them to deliver to an address they have delivered to in the past, and no word as to why. I dont know if I will renew again at this rate.
 What will they pay me for reading it?
If this magazine was merely filled with lots of ads and had actually useful content it might be worth the money. However, ignoring the 70% of its pages filled with ads, what's left is not worth reading. The "reviews" are thinly veiled ads themselves- no criticism allowed. As for the photos (and this is supposed to be a photography magazine after all) many of them are at high amateur / low professional level. Whether this is due to a problem with Shutterbug's printing or not finding better photographers I can not tell.
 I tried...
I've been receiving Shutterbug for a while.
The articles, for the most part, are OK. Once in a while I run into very some very good articles.
Unfortunately, regardless of the quality of the article, the ratio of ads versus usable content is awful.
They'll literally use about 10% of a two page spread on the article while 90% is reserved for ads.
I don't mind having some ads. I understand that's how they're making a lot of their money, but I'm also paying for the subscription and feel like I don't get my money's worth...
 Great reading
I like this magazine for the howtos. The monthy contest is fun also. I would recommend this one to everyone.
Too many ads
Shutter Bug has a lot of potential, but the ads kill it completely! I couldn't read a single article without having to skip a few pages of advertisements. Ridiculous.
