5.0 out of 5 stars Definitive guide to Sony's entry level cameras, February 5, 2010

By	Gregory John - See all my reviews

Wonderful guidebook for any of the three Sony DSLR A380, A330, or A230 cameras. Details every single feature, option, and setting, with complete advice on when to use each one. Much clearer than the manual that comes with the camera, and more detailed than the other Sony guide books I have looked at. Easy for beginners to understand, yet filled with tips you can use as your experience and skills grow. I like this book!
