Average As someone relatively new to Digital SLR's (but not photography) this gave me a brief overview however I found it a bit waffley and did not really get into assisting with getting the most out of your digital SLR camera. It covered a lot of things but not in any great depth. I would highly recommend a couple of other books to look at as well if you are looking for a book of this type : (1) The Book of Digital Photography by Chris George or (2) The Digital Photography Book Volume 2 by Scott Kelby.
difficult i was looking for a book to give me an idea on how a slr works with easy to understand writting. however i found that even the introduction was hard to understand if you are new to the scene.
so i must say i made a mistake buying this item purely because i needed something less complicated.
do not buy this item if you want something easy to read and are new to the world of photography. however if you already have a background of the subject then im sure it will be fine.
Brilliant I am very much a hobbyist photographer with a limited in depth knowledge. This book is extremely helpful, not only does it help you understand how to use and set up your digital slr, but it explains technique for taking photos and provides a lot of helpful information regarding everything digital photography related. If you are only going to buy one book, i suggest you get this one.
Excellent book for the more serious digtal photographer I have learned more about the working and setup of my digital SLR from this book than by reading the camera's manual alone. This book explains the reasons certain features are useful and why you may want to use them, where the manual just skips over what options are available and a brief description.
For example, I now understand what the histogram display is telling me and what I can do with that information, why I may want White Balance Bracketing and what to watch out for when using my 35mm camera... more info
