 Misleading title, but some good content August 15, 2000

I agree with "Disappointed" below, in that the title of this book is misleading. There are only a few pages devoted to digital cameras, with the real focus being the bare-essentials of cameras in general: primarily, the differences between 35mm, APS, and digital.I must say though that there are some great pictures in the book, all full-color, and some of the techniques suggested are worth a look. I'd recommend this book for someone who was an absolute newbie (like I was a year ago!), and then recommend they pass it on to someone else when they're done.

I bought this book for two reasons. First, because I thought it would help me make some choices about my upcoming digital camera purchase. Second, because it was cheap. This book, as it turned out, would be perfect for someone who who has never used a camera at all. I assumed it would be geared more towards what functions to look for in a digital camera, and how to use it once I brought it home. It did neither. This book has a great chapter on how to take pictures. Unfortunately, that was not what I was looking for. I returned this book after I thumbed through it and found nothing useful.
