Digital SLR Guide - Jon Canfield

...what you're holding in your hands is that different book. It's really designed for those who are just getting started with a dSLR. If you haven't bought one yet, you'll find information that will help you select the right one. The bulk of the book, though, is about taking advantage of the features that a digital SLR provides over a compact digital camera.

This is a basic book for new owners of digital SLR cameras. While I have had one for a while, it looked like a good review of the basics while applying them to digital photography. Much of the book is good, although very basic information about f-stops, shutter speed, etc. The sections directly applicable to SLRs are quickly becoming dated as they describe digital photo software. I enjoyed the chapter on shooting the RAW format. The book is available to read online and it is worth looking at if you are new to digital SLR cameras. I wouldn't recommend buying this book.
