Written with digital in mind throughout, this is a wealth of *accurate* information about what matters (and what doesn't) regarding different types of cameras, lenses, megapixels, ISO, noise, internal camera processing, composition, white balance, and much more. It has the best and most complete explanation of digital sensors that I have seen. (Most of the camera comparison spreadsheets I've seen in magazines seem to list every feature BUT the sensor and "crop factor." Those are important when selecting a D-SLR, as far as I'm concerned, because I want to know what lenses I will need, another thing explained in this book.) There is a crash course in Adobe Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. It also covers basics such as how to hold a camera and release the shutter so that your slow shots don't blur.

This gave me a satifying feeling of having learned a lot, and that's what I liked about it so much. It's upbeat and encouraging: he has a tendency to explain the bright side of things that may seem daunting to a beginner, such as Photoshop. He encourages individuality and discusses how to make a photograph, as opposed to just making a copy of a scene. I started reading this in a bookstore, and two hours went by before I knew it.

It was my first photography book, It talks about all digital issues but I missed some more deep information on critical things.
Good enough for starters.

This is a superb book for digital photographers. The book has an almost encyclopedic scope, and the level of detail in the individual entries is just right, with very little redundancy. Highly recommended!

This is an excellent resource for those just venturing into SLR digital photography all the way to the enthusiast.

This book is a must have for anyone interested in digital photography. It clearly explains how to get the best pictures, how to use the features on your camera, and how to find the camera that fits your needs, style, and level of expertise. I keep my copy as a reference, easy to use but not condescending.

For years I used a Kodak book as a guide to film photography; with my new digital camera with lots of manual options, I was looking for something similar. This book answers all my needs. It's a great review of photography basics and digital options.
That said, this book is more of an introduction or quick review for people with some knowledge. It isn't for advanced techniques, and doesn't try to be. Great quick reference too.

This Kodak publication measures up to the professional standards which are characteristic of most Kodak publications devoted to photography. This is a concise in-depth technical overview of digital photography concepts pertaining not only to the equipment but also to the application of the nuances of photography in general to the new digital technology. Plenty of useful and immediately applicable information for both the new amateur photographer as well as the seasoned professional. A book that deserves a prominent place in every photographer's library.

This book will be a teacher to all photographers,new and others trying to improve on already known facts about digital photography.
