Digital SLR Cameras and Photography for Dummies (For Dummies)
Customer Review: A worse dummy than I thought!
I think I must need a ‘Total Idiot’s Guide’ as this was not what I thought it would be.
Being a complete beginner with dSLR, I thought this book would be a step-by-step guide on ‘How To….’ I was a bit wide of the mark - although the book says a lot about why you should do this over that, etc it left me lost on how to actually do it. So I’m using my camera on Auto until my Nikon book arrives. Let’s hope I’ll have more success with that one.
Customer Review: excellent book
Bought the book on the strength of the previous two reviews as I’ve not really been keen on the “dummies” books previously.
This one, though, is excellent. If you’ve spent a chunk of money on a new digital camera (like my EOS 40d!) you really should spend another ?10 and read this, and actually start to understand how it all works! (If you’re already expert then you won’t be needing this, but understanding even how the digital sensor works is really interesting)
It’s printed on good quality glossy paper (unlike some of the dummies books) and includes some really nice images.
Well worth it
