Customer Reviews

Digital for beginners in a reasonably sized book.
An excellent guide to digital for those new to photography, or for those switching to digital, either converting to digital entirely or in conjunction with traditional film photography.

This guide is an excellent way to get started, with equipment guides, troubleshooting, format guides and software guides all without the usual obfuscation accociated with all things technologial.

Buy it.

Disappointed.
The author makes the fundamental mistake of assuming that the reader owns a computer. There are frequent references to "your computer". For anyone who does not have one, or who is less than fully computer literate, the book loses much of its value. It is meant to be an introduction to its subject, but I was not far into the book before I became completely baffled. I give it one star for demonstrating that digital photography is much too complicated and expensive for my liking. I'll stick to film.

Promised so much
This book promised so much and after venturing in to the realm of SLR and digital photgraphy I needed a good basic book. Unfortunatly this was not it.
