Customer Reviews

Far more useful than the Alpha manual!
This book is the ideal ready-reference for any Alpha owner who finds the Alpha manual less than helpful. Both better organized and more clearly-written than the manual, it also goes well beyond the manual in terms of what it covers: not only does it give a rundown of the camera's many features and directions for accessing them, it explains in an easy-to-understand way when and how to make use of each. Well worth the purchase price!

Sony Alfa Field Guide
The book is very complete, the photographs in color are fantastic and with technical information treated in a very symple way for everybody to understand.

A Must Have
This book is very helpful in understanding all that my camera can do. I refer to it all the time! Better than the manual for most things.
