Digital SLR Cameras & Photography For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))
is well designed to teach amatuers like me on the different features of an SLR camera. I have had my Nikon D50 for 2 years and get very good results,but still need to learn so much more. That is the reason for buying the Dummies book....to remember all the ins and outs of lenses, f stops, ISO's and so much more I can turn to my copy of the dummies book to look up the information I need.

The big attraction of this series of "for Dummies" books is that we who buy these products have little respect for our own knowledge and plenty of respect for those who do and are able to write books like this.
I am currently converting from film photography to digital photography and some aspects are quite daunting. I have, therefore, purchased several books and tutorial DVDs on the subject and am working my way through them all. The title of this product suggests it is the right place to start and, on reflection, is exactly where I should have started. For those of you, who like me, are converting to digital for the first time, grab your camera and a copy of this book and work your way through from cover to cover until you are conversant with the new technology. It really will give you a good grounding.
That, however, will only work very well if you are already conversant with photography. If you are new to photography altogether and a digital SLR camera is your very first camera, you may have to learn a few basic lessons of, for example, the correlation between film speeds, shutter speeds and aperture settings - which really do need to be understood, before you study this book.
David Busch clearly knows what he is talking about and is able to put that knowledge into an easy-to-follow format for us Dummies to read and, as I say, I wish I had read this book before getting into some of the more technical tomes I also purchased.

I wish I could comment without rating the book. My problem is, I wanted a primer on digital cameras, and I thought this was one. It's not, of course; it's about SLRs, whatever those may be. For a primer on digital cameras, I recommend the Quick Snap Guide to Digital Photography.

First off I will say that I am a pretty technically savvy person. I am the person people hand their digital goodies over to figure out how to make it do something. My secret is I LOVE dummy books. Just give me enough info to be dangerous and I will explore and figure out the rest on my own. I have decided to step out of the realm of point and shoots and bought a Canon Digital Rebel xsi. Now what do I do? Buy a Dummy book of course! However as I am reading this book I quickly realize that the author is tossing out f stops and other lingo like he knows that "I" know what the heck he is talking about. Here is how he explains F-stops: "F-stops use all these weird intermediate numbers that do represent halving and doubling the amount of light passed by the aperture." WTF? How about show me, the "dummy" a single shot using different f-stops? How about the same for shutter speed, and ISO, and how these three relate together to get me to take great photos? It's like the editor took a dull how to book and tried to add in some catchy chapter subtitles and some very weak attempts at humor and called it a dummy book. NOW with that said, there is useful information in the book and I am sure those with a little more technical expertise would benefit. It's just not what I have come to expect from dummy books. This is not for the beginner beginner and is going back to Amazon.

If you are just starting out and need advice on your digital camera - get this book. Lots of easy to understand tips and advice and the book is in laymans terms so you don't have to figure out what you are reading before you can use the manual.
