 DSLR photography in details starting with very basics August 23, 2008
After purchasing my first DSLR camera, I knew I had to buy a book about Digital SLRs since I had very limited knowledge about them.
This book does a great job by starting off with the very basics including the history of digital cameras, how a digital sensor work comparing to a film, how the lenses work (physics class, anyone?), and how camera measures points for focusing and light metering etc. This kind of low-level (in computer terms) information helps you understand how your camera's hardware work to produce a picture. With this knowledge, you can later understand better why using certain technique or supplying a specific condition gets you a better picture.
It also has a nice glossary at the end where you can check the definitions of terms such as "Shutter Lag","Parallax Compensation", or "Matrix Metering"
If you are a new DSLR owner, and you have no problem reading/understanding some technical explanation, I highly recommend this book.

I've been into photography since December '07 and I purchased this book hoping to improve my technique somewhat. But in all 300 pages of this book I really didn't learn anything that would improve my skill.
Some of the things he talks about in the book ARE interesting, but completely not relevant to photography. For example, page after page he explains different image compression techniques, or how a CMOS works vs a CCD. Great.. how does this help me master how to use a dSLR? If you've JUST bought a dSLR (say, within the last week or two) and want to move up from Green Box mode then this may be for you. Otherwise look elsewhere.

This book was the single book I read from cover to cover to find out all the bells and whistles on my Canon XT! From a - z, I learned how to take better pictures before putting them into a photo editing program. Mastering Digital SLR Photography gave me a better appreciation of taking pictures with confidence. Easy to read and understand, this single book took me from being just an amateur to begin my road to becoming a professional photographer.Mastering Digital SLR Photography 2E

I am new to the digital D-SLR world and moving from point and shoot to composing my own picture. Searching for all books that can help me in this process and this book is certainly one of the best I've read. It's easy to read and even provides some chuckles. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars for what information I'm looking for.

This book is very informative for an amateur. Too much detail on the technical workings of the camera. I would like to have seen more examples of composition, depth of field ,etc but I don't think it was designed to be that type of book. It is a great reference tool when trying to understand the components that make of a slr camera.
