Simple, straightforward, useful... and pocket sized!
Rating:
5 / 5
A great little book. I read it cover to cover in one or two sittings and now I carry it with me. There is much useful information for anyone who wants to be more than a "point-and-shooter" -- and the information is smartly arranged and pared down to the essentials.
At the end of the book is an appendix with easily readable solutions to everyday shooting problems: e.g., if shooting object 'A' in light 'B', set your exposure compensation to 'C'.
Too Many Pages, Too Little Content
Rating:
2 / 5
Being fairly new to digital photography, I had high hopes for this volume. Having read through the 100 pages fairly quickly, I am now disappointed. I was hoping to find either a very concise guidebook to digital photography or a more substantial work on the subject. I didn't find either one. Instead, I encountered a book that takes too many pages to cover too little content. The information is more technical than practical for an individual new to the field. For someone more experienced, it would be far too basic.
I gave this title two stars because it does have a few helpful points. If you are looking for a beginner's primer, look elsewhere. Better books can be purchased for the money.
not worth the money

Although this book is o.k. it is only worth about 5 dollars MAX.The information given is worthwhile but far from complete.To charge 10.00 and shipping is a complete RIP OFF.
