All it Claims to be January 8, 2009
This book is easy to read and follow. It answered so many of my basic questions and as a new photographer(3 years), KISS is very important. I highly recommend this publication.

When I first started getting into photography I read this book. Since then I have read dozens of photography books, and this one is still one of my favorites. People ask me all the time about which book is a good one to learn how to use your digital camera. The first book I tell them to read is The Betterphoto Guide to Digital Photography.
I have even went back and read this book over again and just read certain sections. This is a great book to help learn and develop your photography skills. You can view my images at www.bradleyyoungphotography.com. This is another great product from Betterphoto.

I bought this book by Mr. Miotke after having my digital SLR for about a month. Even though I took a photography class, this book has been an essential reference for me. I love the fact that I can refer back to certain areas over and over and over....and that I can understand Jim Miotke's description of the sometimes confusing camera language.
The book is written clearly, but it moves right along and doesn't over-simplify concepts. It covers the mechanics of photography and then gives great guidelines on composition as well as the differing types of digital formats and what they are best for.
It's a well-written book that covers everything you need to start taking great digital photos. Plus, the photos in the book are themselves stunning and are great inspiration! :)
At the top of my list! December 18, 2008

I have recommended this book many times on forums. It is such an excellent source of knowledge! After reading many books and articles on the technical basics of learning to use my camera settings, I bought this book. It is written in such a way that everything FINALLY made sense!! I was thrilled! I literally went from using my camera on auto to using my camera on manual by reading this book! I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone beginning to learn photography or anyone struggling to learn from other sources. Jim does an amazing job of explaining things in a way that doesn't just throw information at you...but rather teaches you! It's certainly at the top of my list of book recommendations!!
I'm a big fan of the entire BetterPhoto series...so don't hesitate to check them out either!!
