For one embarking on ownership of a relatively sophisticated Digital Camera, I felt the need to try and understand the the basic principles involved before I took possession of the said camera. This book was ideal in that it allowed me the achieve that. It was written in a form that was easy to understand, confirmed that my basic knowledge was reasonably well-established, and then took it forward to a level, necessary to start to get the best out of my acquisition.

This is quite a large paperback full of good information. Ideal for beginners or just a recap on the basics. ????I would have liked to have had colour pictures instead of black and white. And for the amazon driver not to have plonked parcel by outside door, for anyone passing to pinch ????

Clear explanation of how a digital camera works, the principals of light in photography and how to make practical use of this in taking pictures. So far I have have read 4 out of 7 chapters and learned some useful tips on exposure and focusing. I enjoyed finding out what grey scale and hyperfocal distance mean. I am looking forward to finishing the book and will also find it a useful reference.

I got this book free on a whim that it just happened to be a limited special offer when I looked at it – and what an offer it was.
I am only a couple of chapters in and I am already extremely pleased with the amount of knowledge I am learning with this book, i’ve learnt lots already about my Camera (which is a DSLR Canon 550d, and i’ve just bought a nice 18-200mm Lens for it, so i want to know what i’m doing when using it). I
I’ve always been interested in photography since I was in school, but lost touch for a few years, and i feel with this book I can refresh my knowledge & I can get right back into it as a hobby, and know what i’m doing when using my camera!
I would say It’s perfect for the beginner as it is very clear and concise, and I would defintately recommend so far…

Im a complete beginner to Digital Camera’s and for me this book is just great. I like the way everything is explained in a nice and easy way. it may not be too everyones liking, but for me its as though Jason was there as I read ( like in a classroom ) along with my camera. My Nikon D300 is more of a friend to me now rather than something that seemed so complicated, that I was beginning to wonder if I could take photo’s without using auto. Yes the book is printed in black and white, as are diagrams etc. But, you know what,I am shooting with more confidence, and my photo’s look a lot better, sharper, more composed. Thank you Jason.

Read this book but there was nothing that I did not know already. If you are into photography then you should know this much as this book is very basic. No offense to the writer.
