Today's digital cameras are more affordable then ever before, and they deliver high quality images that are a snap to share.

I am a newcomer to digital photography, although I still use my old manual 35mm, this book made the transition over to digital easy! My shots were just as good as I would have gotten with my manual camera, and the added bonus of seeing the photo prior to sending for development made it even better.
The book explained some of the more advanced settings you can apply in a very easy terminology, easier than just "how to do it" in the camera instruction book.
I would highly recommend this book, and all future editions of it to anyone who wants to improve their digital skills. Very compact, fits nicely in a small camera bag.

Excellent Pocket guide
Back in 1939 I received my first camera: a $2.00 priced Kodak Baby Browny. It was a case of love at fist sight with photography. Since then I have had many cameras. By 1965 I was a professional photographer and by 1975 I had my own photoshop store. I have followed and lived photography for quite a while. By 1995 or so I first heard about digital photography. I never thought it would amount to anything since not many people had a computer and also I thought nothing would ever replace the new films and the much cherished professionalism of the darkroom. Now I am the proud owner of a prosumer very nice digital camera for which I paid a tenth of what my professional camera were worth and with much better and varied controls. Any Young kid with a program like Photoshop, Paint Shop or the likes can produce photos as good as any "old? photographer. I have extensively used my pocket guide , Digital Photography Pocket Guide. It is the very best portable guide for the beginner as well as for the photographer making the transition from film to digital. As I am often requested to explain digital photography o friends and relatives I carry my Pocket Guide in my bag. It is well written, and very understandable , sort of abridged guide. It is definitely worth it price.
