Customer Reviews

A book for people new to digital cameras
It's a well written book. It makes learning to use the camera much easier than the little instruction booklet that comes with the camera. The book assumes you don't know anything about digital cameras so it explains even the most basic operations. If you have used digital cameras before, you can skip the basic stuff and still learn a lot about your camera that you might not discover on your own.

best learning tool I could have purchased
ths book is invaluable. I take it with me and use it as I learn how to use the camera. Great tool for learning. Easy to understand and to implement
