This is a great book. It explains digital photography clearly and simply. Wonderful for beginners. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I just upgraded from my simple point-and-shoot digital camera to a digital SLR, and in doing so discovered a whole new world of complexity...and potential. I decided a needed a good reference to get me off the ground quickly, so I can learn the fundamentals (at least) of more advanced photography.
This book has everything I need to get going. It gives everything from the basics to more advanced topics, and presents everything in a really easy-to-grasp visual format.
This book really covers everything you're going to need to start out with. From understanding the whys and whats of ditital photography and cameras, to topics such as composition, focal length, controlling exposure, understanding light (a very important topic, and covered *really* well in this text!), to digital editing, touchup and effects. This is a great start to my photography library...
I would heartily recommend this to anyone just starting out in digital photography - whatever type of camera they're using.
Great for Beginners October 25, 2001

This book is great for anyone starting in digital photography. I have read and used several books so far and this is one of the best. It may not be the one for a professional or one who is already proficient in digital photography, but it you are just learning this is one I highly recommend. There are many books on the subject and many are not very good, but this is only one of 3 that I would give a high rating to.
if you are starting in digital photography then this is it. October 17, 2001

I have read this book and tried it with my camera and computer for the last few days and I deceided to get one of my own. I wish I had this one when I started last year. I have used several other books and only one even comes close to this one for starting to learn digital photography. I have found many useful items that I did not know before. Although it cant cover all kinds of software, this does an excellent job of covering the basics. I intend to use this book to help teach other family members digital photography now that some of them have become interested. It really is a book for beginners but perhaps those who are already quite proficient may find it too basic. For those starting out, I highly recommend it.
 To Simple, Waste of $$$ September 15, 2001

The explanations are too simple. Though there are many drawings but some of these drawings are uncecessary. There was at least one error that's found. On page 93. The Lighten Images should have a lower f-stop, whereas the Darken Images should have a highter f-stop. However for some reasons, these two figures are misplaced. Bad decision of getting this book!!!
