Always eager for something to read in English, I picked up several of this author's books on a recent visit to New York.This one I actually got for a friend of mine back home, but I found myself totally absorbed in it on the plane ride.What a great idea this is!You'd think that digital SLRs are too "advanced" a topic for a simple book like this one, but Busch obviously recognizes that many DSLRs are going to be purchased by people who have never held such a camera in their hands before.They are so affordable now that it just makes sense to get one and gain all the flexibility and expandability they offer, rather than invest in an expensive compact digital camera with far fewer features.
But what do you do when you're confronted with all those buttons and dials, and, even, a lens that comes right off the camera and can be replaced with another one?I'd say you should read this book.It starts at a very basic level, never talks down to you, and provides exactly the kind of information that new DSLR users need to begin taking pictures.I wouldn't recommend this book to experienced DSLR owners.It's really too basic for them.But that's a good thing for everybody else.
