Best book on digital photography that I foundBy Laurie ShedrickI took out many books from the public library system. looking for the perfect easy to understand -must have- manual. I looked at a dozen or so that had been published in the last year or two and found this one to be the easiest to read. with clear descriptions and images to show what the results should be. It is comprehensive without being too techy. Because no general digital photography book is written about your specific model. I recommend having your camera manual with you when you read this book. When I read about a function I would find it in my manual and then go to the camera. I learned that my camera could do many things that I was unaware of. You just dont know what you dont know!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Yeah well...By VielleichtThis book is absolutely great for the beginning photographer. it tells of not just one specific camera but of practically all types whether it be the simpler point and shoot or the more professional digital single lens reflex. I only got through the first few chapters when I decided to get a book specifically geared to my new (pre-owned) DSLR. hence my reading of this book as just about stopped dead.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
