I was very pleased with this text. I found it easy to understand and to follow. Having just purchased my digital camera two weeks ago, this was a fabulous tool to assist me in trying new techniques. It goes beyond the instruction manual and makes the camera fun to use.

This book has it all, from buying a camera to editing your pictures, to putting your photos on the net. If you are starting digital photography, this book is for you.

The book provides clear and solid information about the basics of digital photography. A large portion of the book goes into detail about different graphics software ("Lite" versions were usually included on the CD-ROM) and how the software can be used to manipulate the pictures. As I read, I realized that if I had wanted a book on graphics software, I'd have bought one. Much of the photography information is available on the Web.

I thought the book covered a wide range of topics in a thorough, non-technical manner. It generally gives a good base knowledge of the subject. I was dissappointed in finding that the CD included no MAC software; it's strictly Windows-based. As a MAC user I found this profoundly confusing since John Sculley authored the Forword to the book

This book is a good introduction to basic digital photography. It is not very technical, and I would have liked more information about the digital camera's itself. However, the CD Rom which comes with it has a number of worthwhile software products
