Sony Alfa Field Guide

The book is very complete, the photographs in color are fantastic and with technical information treated in a very symple way for everybody to understand.

Far more useful than the Alpha manual!

This book is the ideal ready-reference for any Alpha owner who finds the Alpha manual less than helpful. Both better organized and more clearly-written than the manual, it also goes well beyond the manual in terms of what it covers: not only does it give a rundown of the camera's many features and directions for accessing them, it explains in an easy-to-understand way when and how to make use of each. Well worth the purchase price!

DSLR-A10 Field Guide

Very good. Much easier to follow than the Sony manual, pictures and diagrams assist in understanding.

A Must Have

This book is very helpful in understanding all that my camera can do. I refer to it all the time! Better than the manual for most things.
