Forget him and all of his books. He rarely covers any topic in any of his books in more than two pages. This is simply not enough to anything or anyone any justice. You will soon be asking yourself and his books questions you and they will not be able to answer, and you will very quickly go to other more substantial books.
Don’t bother with the two page wonder and photography “lite.”

Well illustrated explanations of digital darkroom techniques. I checked this book out from the library and didn’t get everything out of it even after renewing it several times.

I borrowed this from the library. I found it to be complicated. I’m a beginner in serious photography. I don’t think it is a good guide for a beginner.

Excellent graphics. Easy to understand and use.. Great as a primer and for advanced users as it is chock full of information across the board. Not in depth but will give you an overview of all that the Digital Photography world has. I am very excited about this venture for myself. I have been away from photography for some time. This book will be a great guide.. Also check Freeman’s book on SLR’s for more information on what SLRs there are and the strengths of each.

I have checked this book out of the local library a couple times in the last year and find it a very good intro to the subject. The sections on modifying photos using software, especially Photoshop may be a bit more sophisticated than a general user looking for an intro may want but I find them very useful. The author introduces some very important issues like the fact that dust is a major problem with the sensors on interchangeable lens cameras and that because of the smaller sensor size relative to a 35 mm film image the image is 1.6 times bigger than with 35mm using the same lens. However, I would have liked to see info on selecting lenses for various photo settings. The thing that perplexes me most is that Amazon is selling the 2nd edition of this book however the one I am reading is the updated 3rd edition and among the other titles for sale here is the even more recent 4th edition! Why is Amazon still pushing this outdated edition? Don’t be fooled, buy the 4th edition!
