Title: Too much technical info and a tough read
Review: I recently purchased the Nikon D70 and have no idea how to use all the features to get great pictures. So I buy a book to learn right? Well this book talks down to a yahoo like me. He plugs his other books all the time and makes comments like "I won't get into setting exposures. If you've purchased a DSLR, you obviously know about that". Well I didn't know about and so I never fully grasped his book.He gets into the technical aspects way too much also, which I didn't care about. I really don't care how the camera sensor retains the data, I just wanted to take good pictures. Boring.He doesn't even tell you how to take a good picture until page 129. Well by that time he'd lost me, because his writing style is tough to read anyways.I will say though, if you are interested in learning the evolution of the digital camera, how it works and David Busch's past exploits in photography, then this book is for you. In fact I have one you can buy...
