This is an excellent beginning and intermediate offering that uses actual photographs to demonstrate the effects of choosing various settings with digital photography. I would give it five stars if it included some additional charts or text information for exposure times and special photography conditions; weather effects night-time astro-photographic applications. It really is an excellent book though and I liked his comment, "the idea is not to get the camera to take a picture but to make the camera take the picture you want." Very good.

I was hoping for a little more detail and insight into digital photography; this is a very basic guide. One of my complaints is that in a field that quickly changes, why people are still selling books that are this dated? Much of the info and the cameras examples given are a few years old and better guides/introductions to the field are now available. I am not saying this book sucks, or is a complete waste of time, since some of the information is good and useful. All I'm saying is books like this should not be sold as if it is the latest guide on the subject matter. Be more forthcoming on how old the material is. I blame the seller and not the author. This is an "OK" title at best and I would recommend a different title or a revised edition if available.

I really like the content of this book, easy to read and understand what is being conveyed. I looked at alot in this category at the library and bookstores before making my purchase. This one and "101 Great Things To Do With Your Digital Camera", Simon Johnson were by far the best. I looked at alot of books before I ordered. Both have great camera info and a nice section on editing tips. I use both and have been very happy with the purchase.
