Lrsquo;ambitieux projet drsquo;Audubon de peindre tous les oiseaux drsquo;Ameacute;rique du Nord reacute;sulta en un travail si important qursquo;il fut une des grandes eacute;tapes de lrsquo;ornithologie. Il nrsquo;identifia pas seulement des nouvelles espegrave;ces; mais il deacute;peignit aussi les oiseaux dans leur habitat naturel; ainsi que dans des poses dynamiques. Son impressionnante collection va du flamant rose agrave; lrsquo;aigle agrave; tecirc;te blanche; en passant par la conure de Caroline. Audubon deacute;crit chaque espegrave;ce avec un texte concis; preacute;cisant les particulariteacute;s de chaque oiseau.

I have both the Foster book and this one (dont have the Hendren/Friedman book) and in my opinion this book blows the Foster book away. It truly is the quintessential guide!The overall explanation of how the camera works is very useful; since its a little different than the SLR. If youre someone who uses the automatic modes in a camera; the first few few chapters will get you going quickly with thorough coverage. If you like to take more control; youre covered in the chapters on program; aperture priority; shutter priority; and manual modes. The chapters on using wifi; adding software to the camera; using flash; using accessories; and making movies are superb. But there are two features that I think make this book a must. The first is the recommendation section at the end of each chapter; where the authors talk about how they use the camera and how they set it up for those uses. You may not want to use their settings; but the discussion of why they are doing what they are doing is enlightening; especially for the customizable control menus. The second feature that is excellent is a complete tabular list of all the control settings on the camera; with all setting options listed. One issue with the NEX 6 is the structure of the control interface; and this section makes it somewhat easier to find the setting you dont use all the time; but know you need to change.Ive had the NEX 6 for 9 months and this book for a month. I find I use the book several times a week as a reference. Buy it if you have an NEX 6 or are thinking about getting one. Its essential!20 of 21 people found the following review helpful. Many Useful Summary TablesBy S. LbckAs an experienced photographer; I appreciated Matsumoto and Roullards expert guidance and attention to detail. "The Sony Alpha NEX-6" employs a well-organized; simplified format to represent a body of complex technical material. It will become a much-used personal library resource. Some selected impressions:PROS:*Comprehensive; integrated coverage of the cameras controls and menus.*Numerous summary tables that could be used as quick reference guides.*Detailed coverage of NEX-6s built-in panorama; HDR; and smart remote features.*Useful guidance on the purchase of lenses and flash units for the NEX-6.CONS:*Needs more examples (e.g. " HDR auto" compared with "HDR painting".)*Some photo-examples were too small to be helpful.Concurrent with purchasing a NEX-6; I obtained three "how-to" references: Matsumoto and Roullards "The Sony Alpha NEX-6"; Fosters "The Sony NEX-6 From Snapshots To Great Shots"; and Sonys "Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera Instruction Manual/Hand book". Matsumoto and Roullards book is the most useful of the three; and will serve as my primary NEX-6 reference manual. While Fosters visually stunning book provided me with a brief; productive photo-workout; it didnt cover enough ground to function as a reliable NEX-6 reference. Sonys sometimes-helpful documentation often lacked needed details.11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. sony nex-6 book/guideBy andrew brownThe sony manuals are available on the disc that comes with the camera; but I have always preferred a proper manual. The Nex series of compact cameras will always leave me behind their capability; but the 6 with the EVF brings a slightly more old fashioned approach to picture taking which I was looking for in a digital camera.This book covers everything I might want to do with the camera in a reasonable way; but the complexity of the Sonys menus and options means that even with this guide there is a long way to go to achieve a good level of ease with it
