Book Reviews of PC Magazine Guide to Digital Photography
Book Review: Great Place to Start
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm new to digital photography, and a big question I had before buying my camera was "which one to buy". I'm pretty technical, but photography jargon was beyond me. I felt like I was making a decision in the dark. I lucked out by asking friends who did know about photography, but it made me uncomfortable. It's hard to find a single source who can explain everything succinctly.
I chanced across this book in a bargain bin at Fry's; what a deal. This book answered every question I've had about digital cameras , traditional 35mm, and it compares and contrasts them. It is well written, explains all of the camera settings and how to use them get better photographs.
While published in 2004, it remains current. I bought a camera released in the fall of 2006, and this book is still extremely helpful. It even has a chapter on buying the right camera, and the organization of the book is perfect to build your knowledge before you buy. I definitely recommend this book.
