Full of information in a very accessible, pleasant to read format. Good for beginners and intermediate users. Goes over the mechanics of use for compact and SLR cameras. Contains a wealth of creative tips as well.

This is a wonderful book for those of us who are struggling to get the best from our Picasa and/or iPhoto programs. I’m a new user of the (free) Picasa software, and found that the last half of this book supplied all the documentation I needed to make good use of all that Picasa can do. (It also does the same for iPhoto.)
The book’s first half is a very readable and useful guide to getting the most from your digital camera, but that last half alone — with its careful explanation of how to use that terrific free software — was easily worth the price of admission for a klutz like me.

This book is a must for anyone taking up digital photography. So much murky information in a camera’s manual is made clear. Terrific!

To much beginner’s topics, very little for someone who was intermediate to advanced on a SLR and converting to a point and shoot. I guess Mr Pouge assumes averyone who had a SLR, automatically gets a digital SLR and just goes on. Also too much on getting that “special” shot without the details. I found the majority of the information of little value.

I have been an accomplished ameture photographer for over 40 years. I started out using a Canon AE-1 back in the seventies. Through the years I migrated eventually to the digital world. It is interesting to note how much you forget when the camera does everything for you. I recently purchased the Nikon P90 with the 24X optical zoom and the 12.1mp, etc. It has all the bells and whistles of a DSLR and a compact Digital camera. This camera has the P-S-A-M settings and that leads us to the Book in question. David Pogue is unique in his ability to not only refresh your memory but to teach in a way that is very user friendly. I have relearned so much by reading this great book! He covers all known fine points of great photography and helps you avoid the digital pitfalls that you would ordinarily fall into on your own. This is a grand undertaking and very much appreciated! Good for ameture and professional alike!
Thanks David!
