Wonderful cutaway drawings

If you enjoy cutaway drawings this is a book to get. It is absolutely full of extremely well done cutaway drawings that do a great job of explaining the concepts being presented. While the text accompanying the drawings is quite good, you could get 90% of the information presented by only looking at the illustrations. It is also a great book to pick up and open to any arbitrary page to browse. You will inevitably learn something you didn't know on almost every page.

Great book!

Great reference- a great deal of information clearly written and well illustrated. Fabulous book.

Great content and photos

This is a great resource for educating yourself about digital photography. Easy to read and a must for anyone who wants to educate themselves before purchasing a digital camera.

Best book i've seen on subject so far.

seriously. everything is explained very clearly with a step-by-step process on each page that explains how something works or what makes something happen. the colorful illustrations and excellent and so well laid out, that you can often just look at them and figure out what's going on. i give this book a 5 out of 5 because before this book even starts explaining how DSLRs work, it lays the groundwork and thoroughly shows you how film cameras, lenses and light all interact and work together- which you must understand first, if you really want to understand how DSLRs work. but, if you choose, you can just jump to a section and learn about it without difficulty. i got this book as a gift for someone and am now ordering one for myself, because i miss reading it!

Awesome detail.

This book is well written and loaded with great illustrations that get you inside the mechanics of the digital camera. It is clear enough for the hobbiest and detailed enough for a scientist. The graphics really tell the story. You can move as quickly as you want through the design for a quick reference or slow down and make yourself an expert. Your next camera will be bought on understanding the technology rather than on the marketing hype.
