Digital SLR Cameras and Photography For Dummies
A very disappointing and useless book..Please dont waste your money on this book..It will teach you nothing about cameras or photography..This may have been the worst book I ever purchased, double period
Rating: 2 / 5
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.

I recently bought a Canon Rebel XSi and bought this book, hoping it would make life easier. It doesn’t! I am new to the dSLR world, but this book spends about 3 chapters telling you why a dSLR is better than a point and shoot. Way too much nonsense info. I did not find this book useful for someone who wants to better understand hwo to get good shots from their camera. If you are a Rebel XSi user, I recently purchased a 3-hour XSi specific training DVD put out by Michael Andrews a professional photographer. It’s very good. I believe the site is canonrebelxsidvd dot com.

Don’t waste your time or money on this book. This guy spends more time talking about point and shoot cameras and what then can’t do and spends very little time on useful instruction for beginners of DSLR cameras

The book has the basics of what you need to decide on which DSLR you want..and even some idea about which lenses to buy…it is a good book.
The book is good for understanding the basics…but..
-it is repetitive and doesn’t have enough concise content
-the author seems to be a bit old school..I can’t trust him to cover everything in the current environment
-put me to sleep many times
