Product Description
Meet the A300 and A350 the two newest cameras in Sony's beginner-friendly "A" series. They're alike except for sensor resolution (the 350 has the highest available in any consumer model), and are perfect for anyone ready to move up from point-and-shoot cameras. That's because they actually allow photographers to view the scene in front of them on the LCD monitor prior to shooting. Owners will look to this guide to find out how to use the Live Preview with AF and exposure control; adjustable variable angle LCD monitor that flips out and twists; and Super SteadyShot(R) image stabilization that vastly reduces blur.

Very disappointing book - do not buy! August 18, 2008
I have purchased recently a Sony A300 dSLR and wanted to learn some tips & tricks, in addition to the materials in th excellent users guide.
As the book hinted that it may fit the bill, I have purchased it.
The book looks very nice from the outside - but the inside is very disappointing.
1. The structure is not very logical, and key parts are missing (for example it discusses the menu and fn button functions, but never gives an overview of what happens when you press the button first).
2. There are no tips / tricks in the book - it is very simply cut / reshuffle / paste of (some) parts of the users guide.
The original users guide (came with the camera) has lots of recommendations about how to use the camera and also how to take good pictures, in an easy to understand manner. This book is not good for either - and it actually may confuse the reader more than help. (It did confuse me for sure!)
Of course, if you like puzzle games: you may like this book as you will have to flip back and forth to find something (but in some cases you will never find it). If you want a solid document, helping you to make most of your camera: this book is not it.
I would be curious to find out how a publishing company can pay money to someone for such poor work.
