An Absolute Must for the digital photographer. Updated 2008 edition. - By: D. K. Cain, 18 Jul 2008 
I took up digital photography recently & bought this book, after been diappointed with another photo book.
This book is a must for the person new at digital photography. It goes handin hand with my Canon 400D.
The book is very up to date,last publishedin 2008. I wanted how to learn how to take good photos & not just how to workin the dark room or editing pics etc;
I wasn't diappointed. This covers the purchase of a camera, the lens you need, other accessories, photo techniques etc; There are even tips on most of the pages, things to do & not do!
This book is a great reference & a valuable read for the photographer.
I highly recommend this book, especially for the beginner to digital photography.

im disappointed - By: straycat, 25 Oct 2007 
i did not like this book at all. while reading it, i never had those "aahh, so thats how you do it" moment. this is suitable for total noobs who has not even held a digital camera. it taught me nothing that i dont know yet, & im not even a pro.
Jack of all Trades - By: Smachel, 16 Sep 2007 Perhaps this book is aimed at compact camera users, or should be as it is very much a beginners book. But as a DSLR newbie I found it too time consuming to read as it's rather basic & repetitive, talks about presets which I've no interestin & is rather dull reading for someone with prior knowledge. Could be good for someone who is completely new to photography.
I bought it as it was suggested as a good accompaniment to the Scott Kelby book. The Kelby book is incredibly useful, fun to read & succinct, exactly what I wanted. I don't think this book was a good suggestion for pairing together.
Needs updating - By: P. Waas, 06 Sep 2007 
This is definitely good value for money :- clear layout, attractively designed, good handy size to pop into a camera bag, easy to read & digest. However, I'm a bit confused that Amazon states it was printedin 2006 because my copy says 2005, please correct me if I'm wrong. I feel that it needs updating regarding megapixels, memory cards etc. & if it were, then it would certainly deserve 5 stars.
