This book covers every major photographic topic in a concise, yet comprehensive manner. The small format of this book makes it an essential in your camera kit. It is an ideal compliment to the Kodak Pocket Guide. I never go on vacation or photo outings without them both.

This is a great easy to follow guide for picture taking, and correct use of equipment. Also very helpfull for litlle technical tips and composition remarks whenever you mostly need them. This handy manual, is perfect for carring in a camera case or in your car. However, its excelent for a beginner, for a more experienced photographers might seem too simple; but still good enough as a practical remminder.

This is a very handy guide to have for the SLR user. While it doesn't have anything that the pros don't already know, it's a big help to the amateur enthusiast just learning the joys of 35mm photography. All the basics (loading film, lenses, aperture, flash, etc.) are covered nicely and the photo examples in the book are great. They're small, but this is a pocket guide after all. I agree with one reviewer who said that the book should be updated. Despite that, you can't really go wrong having this book in the camera bag to use as a quick reference when shooting in the field. It's a solid little guide that would go together nicely with one of Kodak's bigger guides.

This little book tucks right into my camera bag, so it's easy to take along on photo outings. If you're at all serious about learning how to take better 35mm photos, you need to have this little book on hand for when you have those burning questions about light conditions, aperature/shutter speed combinations, etc. This isn't a book that is necessarily a stand-alone guide. Think of it as a quick reference to the bigger version. While this little book is a decent collection of quick tips for the field, if you're really serious about learning 35mm photography, get bigger Kodak guide as well.

The book is an excellent guide to take with you on a trip. It is lightweight, compact, and summarizes ideas needed for good pictures. I have the Nikon and National Geographic guides and about ten other photography books. All are are too heavy to take on an overseas trip.
