You are quite right - many of the western mags have quite dreadful photos throughout each edition. Typically there is a stock photo of some scantily clad woman on the front and lots of boring drivel provided by underpaid hacks on the inside. They are usually critical of price vs features of the latest equipment but not much else... Mind you they are usually cheap compared to the Japanese mags which are usually beautifully printed and have portfolios by very accomplished photographers...if only there were more such!
