The world’s leading digital photography magazine, Digital Camera launched in 2002 and has been helping photographers of all skill levels to improve their images ever since.
Every issue is packed with technique tips, tutorials, inspiring images and expert buying advice, plus the latest news and equipment reviews, as well as a selection of free gifts (see below).
Photography doesn’t have to be an expensive pastime, so with the cost of living continuing to bite, this month’s feature gathers a selection of projects that can be tackled with basic or existing camera kit.
Learn how to get the most from a kit lens when shooting scenics, improvise a macro optic using a reversing ring on an old lens, elevate your portraits using a prism – and more!
Don’t forget that you can subscribe to Digital Camera magazine and get the magazine delivered to your door every month. Choose between a print or digital subscription, or a bundle of the two.

And a pair of new lenses gets field- and lab-tested: the 7Artisans 9mm f/5.6 for Canon RF, Leica L, Nikon Z and Sony E mounts, and the Tamron 70-180mm F2.8 Di III VC VXD G2, an updated zoom for Sony E with optical stabilization.
