I was expecting a mixture of TECHNICAL, and descriptive information: what I got was a lot of VERY VERBOSE feel-good writing ! less than 10% of the text is anywhere near "technical"! After I learn how to use my FIRST DIGITAL SLR, I'd be glad to be more descriptive! Right NOW, I'm still trying to LEARN - something that this book should have used MOST of its dead trees to accomplish ! Digital Cameras are VERY TECHNICAL devices, and I WAS (at one time) quite good with a totally manual 35mm ( Pentax K-1000 ) : I'd recommend a newbie to try to find the MANUAL portion ( JUST SEVERAL PAGES !) and try to decipher the rest after becoming a little familiar ! Anyone beyond ME would have NO USE for this .... text! Anyone LIKE ME will never understand WHY he started with the MOST COMPLICATED stuff FIRST ! As best that I can tell, this is just a SEE-HOW-GOOD-I-AM type of book !Read full review
I am an intermediate to pro photographer and this book has great insight for anyone looking to expand their ideas and knowledge in DSLR's. The price was right where it should be also, so... Check it out!
