5.0 out of 5 stars Far more useful than the Alpha manual!, June 10, 2007
By C. Derousseau (Wisconsin, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is the ideal ready-reference for any Alpha owner who finds the Alpha manual less than helpful. Both better organized and more clearly-written than the manual, it also goes well beyond the manual in terms of what it covers: not only does it give a rundown of the camera's many features and directions for accessing them, it explains in an easy-to-understand way when and how to make use of each. Well worth the purchase price!
