5.0 out of 5 stars Now I get it!, November 27, 2008

By	David James - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is extremely helpful. And not just for owners of this camera. The chapters that covered photography essentials and light led me to rethink how I set up my shots and how to go about getting the shots I want. Hess covers all of the types of shots you will take, from abstract photos to landscape to wedding shots. All of the controls and functions of the A200 are well explained and include photos of them. In addition, the camera care is great for those who do not know how to properly take care of cameras. A must have for owners of this camera.

When you get this book you can toss the instruction book that came with the camera away. Clear,concise,and thorough advice along with photos that show and explain every element of the A200. A must-buy if you own an A200. Two thumbs up and five stars for this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helps make the most of your A200, January 8, 2009

By	James E. Gaul (Arlington, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I got this book for Christmas and took it on vacation with me just after. I learned more about the A200 in one week than I had in the prior 6 months since I bought the camera. This is a great compliment to the camera and will help you get the most out of the A200.
