I just purchased a Nikon D70s and found this book to be a valuable resource in learning about photography. It has chapters that explain each of the most common type of shooting situations, with lots of tips. The author is obviously an accomplished digital photographer, which is very valuable in this age of digital photography books written by computer nuts who haven't had digital cameras much longer than I have. My upgrade from a point and shoot to the D70s was a wise decision, and buying this book to help me was even smarter.
Review: Ok! but much better out there I was very disappointed with the fact that this being a book on photography had the photos being refered to in newsprint black and white quality. I must add that the original was available to see on the web. What a pain, this book would have been much better and more interesting had the color images been in the book. There are some color photos located in the center of the book. Also the information is repetative and not presented in an interesting way. I think that both the editor and writer could have done a much better job. I am glad I only paid $1.88 plus shipping for this book. The 500 pages could have been reduced to 200. An "image speaks a thousand words!" isn't that what photography is all about?
