User Reviews about Digital Photography For Dummies

I bought this book new, for it allowed me to ship my total purchases for free. -- schlapia in dc

The book delivers on its title. It's not overwhelming. It's simple for anyone to understand, and it is comprehensive enough to graduate any reader from "dummy" to novice. As for the content of the book, it's nice in that it covers pretty much every aspect you could want to be introduced to, and even some stuff you didn't know existed. There are numerous and frequent little tips that seem like they could only come from people who've been around the photography world for a while -- very nice to skyrocket you out of dummy-dom. The book is easy read and there is a good flow to the chapters and book as a whole. For what it's worth, it only took me 3 weeks, give or take literally a couple days, to finish the entire book reading it about every few days. The reason for lacking that fifth star is because there was not much information to help with composition. The rule of thirds is mentioned a couple times as well as depth of field, but overall I would have liked to have seen more. I would guess there is probably an entire photography composition for dummies book, however! All in all, a good book and one that I would recommend to someone who considers him or herself a digital photography dummy. It is important that I should add to that, however, that the book would be mainly useful to someone who wants to take their general knowledge of digital photography to the next level. There is nothing camera-specific, and if you simply want to take better pictures with your point-and-shoot in automatic mode, then this book is probably not going to be the best use of your time and effort. -- Nice introductory book to digital photography

I've had a Canon point & shoot for a couple of years, but didn't know to use it. I studied the operating manual, then studied some more. The manual was poorly written, small print and confusing. I saw digital photography for dummies in a retail store. After leafing through it, I bought it through Amazon.com. Now I know a heck of a lot more than I did before using this book.I visited Bryce Canyon NP in Sept. and got some impressive photos. -- I learned a lot

This book has almost all technical aspects of digital photography explained in plain language. It is almost like a bible. In the end of the book (if you read it cover to cover) I am sure you will familiar with most of digital photography jargon such as image resolution, ISO, JPEG, RAW, TIFF, AF, Aperture, Shutter Speed and so on. This book is very well structured. It is aimed for people who is completely beginner and looking for a camera to buy. The book highlights pro and cons of each type of camera (compact, DSLR) very well. Then, it expand more about how to adjust camera settings appropiately for the condition with examples. It also discuss about editing and printing. The book use Photoshop Elements photo editing software. For me, the book is too technical. Sample pictures are technically good, but not inspiring. It is not a book to teach you how to take awesome picture, but it is good book to start especially if you don't have a clue at all about technical aspect of digital photography. -- Informative book, but too much focus in technical aspect

I gave this book to my wife after she got her first digital camera. She found the book easy to read and easy to understand. Even though I have a lot of digital camera experience, I periodically refer to it because it contains tons of basic information, tips and tricks that one can forget over time. Both my wife and I consider this book a valuable reference and would recommend it to anyone. -- Digital Photography Overview
