Good Intro for those new to the field

This title of this book is a little misleading. It isn't really a guide to "Creative" digital photography, and it doesn't really describe techniques for "Mastering" a digital SLR camera. Nevertheless, it is a comprehensive overview of digital photography and the various processes that distinguish it from film photography. A more accurate title might be "Amphoto's Introductory Guide to Digital Photography." In other words, the book is a good primer for those new to the field or those considering the possibility of switching from film to digital. It is not a book about creative techniques; it does not go into depth on any specific technique; and the information it discusses is not limited to SLR cameras. The book touches on many of the features that one might wish to consider when choosing a digital camera, although not in any organized way. It also touches on many of the techniques that can be used to manipulate digital images using photo editing software, but again, not in great detail. In short, the book is a good introduction to the subject, but not something you are going to keep on your bookshelf for future reference.
