3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. ExcellentBy MaxThis book is so inviting and inspiring. It actually makes you want to take pictures of everything in the world right then and there. Every chapter gets to the point. It doesnt feel like youre reading a history book. Its very engaging too. It feels as though theres a professor talking to you right there. Very good investment if you want to learn more about digital cameras and photography.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

FinnI recommend this Book Very Highly - Whether your a beginner or advanced. youll find this book extremely helpful. as well as giving you many of the "Ah Hahs!" you want/need... I hasten to add that I have only read only read the first 80 pages. but already it has explained a lot of those things I was unsure about more regarding Digital Photography... By the way. Im no Expert. however I have been doing photography for over 37 years (mainly 35mm 6x6cm Film) and would rate myself as an experienced amatuer. I have completed an intensive Camera Club Course. read Umpteen Photography Books (mainly the 35mm kind) Camera Mags and would rate this book as the Best I have read so far... I hope thats of help to anybody (like me) who is looking to improve their photographic skills. knowledge understanding...Larry Finn (Australia)
