An excellent introduction

This book is the best I have seen for providing a succinct but comprehensive overview of digital photography methods and equipment for the beginner. It is easy to find what you want to learn about and copiously illustrated. Because it is just published, the equipment and technique information is up to date. The author's writing style is "just right" for conveying needed and useful information without overwhelming you with nuances. It is a perfect supplement to your camera's manual and it is only $7.95! I am going to look into more of Rob Sheppard's books on photography.
