I would recommend this magazine, picked it up at a neighbourhood 7-11 and was seriously surprised at the breadth of coverage.
It covers everything from
Choosing a camera (not just DSLRs but compacts and superzooms too), basics of photo taking, even post-processing with examples and comparisons from most of the major PP programs like Photoshop, GIMP and Picasa.
Honestly I should've bought it before I got my camera, so don't be put off by the SGD$14.80 price tag (since it's imported from the UK).
