The Desert Camera Club no longer produces a monthly general member newsletter. Back issues of its former newsletter, In Focus, (including the final, June 2004, issue) can be downloaded by clicking here. The Club now relies on this website for news, competition announcements, and other information.

The Club does, however, produce a monthly electronic newsletter, e-focus, specificall directed to the interests of digital photographers.
It is produced by the Club's Digital Image Processing Special Interest Group (DIPSIG). It contains tutorial articles, information on new products (and where to buy them), news about Club and other events, reports of DIPSIG meetings, hints, links to useful websites, and discussions of advances in digital photography. Current and back issues of e-focus can be downloaded by clicking here.
