Book Reviews of PCPhoto Digital SLR Handbook (A Lark Photography Book)
Book Review: Not That Useful
Summary: 2 Stars
I read Sheppard's book primarily with the hope of better understanding what an SLR would offer vs. a quality point-and-shoot digital camera, and what various lens might offer, given a particular SLR. "PCPhoto Digital SLR Handbook" provided neither.
Probably the simplest way of accomplishing this would have been to provide comparative photos using an SLR vs. simpler camera with standard settings, and differing SLR photos using various lens settings - along with an explanation.
Summary of PCPhoto Digital SLR Handbook (A Lark Photography Book)
From the editors of PCPhoto magazine, the number one digital photography magazine, comes the most comprehensive guide to the fastest-selling cameras made today.Here is a photographer's dream manual, with the newest and hottest cameras, high-quality images, and unequaled, in-depth information provided by an expert author and PCPhoto, the best photography magazine on the market. The handbook includes a thorough, in-depth examination of what makes digital photography special, and how the LCD monitor changes the way you shoot. There's a discussion of the importance of resolution, the various formats and file options available, and memory cards and storage choices. Tips on getting the best exposure, making the most of flash, using different lenses and filters, and finding effective ways of applying image-editing software will all help photographers get truly creative.
Rob Sheppard, the editor of both Outdoor Photographer and PCPhoto magazines, is also the author of the Epson Complete Guide to Digital Printing.
PCPhoto magazine is designed to help readers understand how to best use digital photography technologies from a photographic rather than computer perspective. It is the most popular photo magazine of its type.
