| Canon,
Sony, Pentax, and Olympus all make incredible digital SLRs -- but they
package them with black-and-white manuals that frustrate you with cross-references
that jump back and forth just to provide the most basic information about
a feature. Most third-party guides aren't much of an improvement. They
don't explain photography with your new camera, and the sparse illustrations
are all monochrome. In my books, the only time I use a black-and-white
photo is when I'm explaining how to take better pictures in black-and-white!
All my content is based on what you've told me you want to see in a guidebook. If you own an entry-level camera, like the Canon EOS XSi, Pentax D200, Sony Alpha A200, Pentax K200D, or Olympus E-510, you've said you want a simple explanation of the camera's focus controls, flash options, how to choose that second lens, or which exposure modes are best. If you want more information about the cameras I cover, or would like to order or pre-order one of my guide books, click on one of the cover photos below. If this is the first time you've given me the opportunity to introduce you to a digital SLR, welcome aboard! |
