 Great Update to the old Photoguides July 28, 2008
People familiar with the old Kodak Masterguide and Professional Photoguides know what to expect: lots of data and brief explanations of all kinds of topics for the modern digital photographer: digital technology, exposure, filters, flash, close-up. Includes old-style calculator wheels to solve problems with flash exposure, close-ups, etc.
This is *not* a textbook, and not a good introduction to any of these subjects. It's really a notebook, a problem-solver and a way to rapidly introduce or remind the reader of concepts.
The book is great but flawed. On the upside it has a ton of information and the calculators to help solve problems that can't already be done even by today's cameras. It's spiral bound and lays relatively flat when you open it. The pages are heavy card stock, and each section has color coded tabs so you can quickly flip to what you want. It's sized to fit in many camera bags so it'll always be handy.
The downside is that the print on the calculators is small and can be hard to read, and they really need to be mastered *before* you need them, because they're not easy or very intuitive. Also sorely missing is a gray card and gray scale/color palette reference, which would be very nice to have.
Still I find the information is useful and helpful, and I think it's a bargain.

Packed with technical info about general digital photography, this volume has a lot of info you won't find elsewhere about your digital camera. It is indespensible for the pro, or the serious amatuer photographer, especially those using today's advanced DSLR cameras. My only gripe is that it did not come with an 18% gray card. (Fortunately, I have an old one.) I am not sure that it was included and did not fall out of the book at some point. (I bought mine off the shelf at a conventional book store.) It did come with a white card.
