 Recommended for Beginning and Intermediate Photographers August 14, 2008
If you're a beginning or intermediate photographer looking to learn more about exposure and lighting, then this is the book for you. It's easy to follow - with plenty of good illustrations. After you read this book you'll be able to take your digital camera off "Auto" and get control of your photos. I especially enjoyed the "Pro Tips" that are located throughout the book.
 Not that great... August 1, 2008

I didn't manage to read the whole book (only the first third) because I got bored. It may be useful though for the very beginner photographer.
I stopped at Chapter 7 when I've read "Apertures toward the extremes of the range often tend to exhibit somewhat less sharpness and more distortion". The statement is correct regarding sharpness but not true regarding distortion (which doesn't change with aperture but does change on a zoom with focal length).
I do not recommend this book.
 Nothing really new, but... June 23, 2008

First I should say the title is not totally accurate as I was not familiar with the Zone System by Ansel Adams and the book has an interesting section on it. As for the rest, no truly new information is provided that could not either be provided by an experience with slide films, or inferred from digital cameras manuals. Still the text is quite fluent and provides a good refresh about known notions; moreover the pictures are stunning. I would encourage people in two groups to buy the book: big budget beginners with an interest in improving the quality of their pictures (the book in fact talks about _many_ expensive equipments), or experienced photographers wanting to have some new inspirations.
Good Instruction June 9, 2008
This book is for the beginning photographer who wants to learn how to capture better images. It provides a fair amount of technical information but in a way that is easy to understand. I highly recommend this to anyone who isn't happy with their "point and shoot" behaviors.

This book gave me a lot of ideals to work with on my canon camera. I even coped some of the iformation down and put it in my camera case.
