Reviews
I am a new to digital user. My last camera was a Minolta Maxxum 5000i, which I have owned of about 35/40 years. One reason I purchase the new Sony was because my other two Minolta lens would work on the new Sony aDSLR-500 body, thinking I would be saving money. And they did work, but they were 40 years behind the digital technology. Santa did bring me a new lens for Christmas, and all is well. I never did learn how to manually use my old camera, so I am starting out from scratch. I have not read this book from cover to cover yet, but so far it has been a great experience. The illustrations are clear and easy to see, and do. David goes through it all, step by step in plain, easy to understand language. I have a series of three other `How to shoot great photos" books that are very good, but the author spent too much time trying to add humor. I like a straight forward, get it done, and let me go shoot some photos type of reading. This book does just that. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with a Sony camera, and I would think his other books would be as good.
