Review title: Informative, but disappointing
Product review: In spite of the low rating, I'd still suggest it to an inexperienced photographer who got an s100 or s110 as a first camera. It covers the details of good shooting (framing, exposure, composition) with very concrete examples, and will certainly help someone find reasons to try all of the nifty features of the camera.However, the S200 is the "current" camera in that line, and the book needs an update, though the general features are still applicable.The *real* disappointment is that this is a black-and-white printing, with velobind-style binding -- nice in that it lays flat, but I can do as well or better in any copy shop off of a web page. The example pictures do lose a lot (the captions indicate that the authors are aware of this, and explain in words, but really, I want a book, not excuses.)I can't fault the writing - I just wish it had been produced with more quality; magazine style, perhaps...
