DIGITAL CAMERA Pocket Guide
$14.95 — from newsagents
Published by PhotoReview
THE DIGITAL CAMERA Pocket Guide, now in its second edition, is a useful little book for anyone thinking of buying a digital camera but still wondering what the technology is all about. The Guide is also useful for anyone who has dipped a toe into entry level digital photography and is considering upgrading.
Written by Sydney technical writer Margaret Brown, the Guide is a quick read that covers choosing a camera, the differences between types of cameras — point and shoot, manual control, digital SLRs etc — and how to use a digital camera and understand how it differs from a film camera.
There is a section on post-camera editing and on sharing digital images.
The Pocket Guide comes with a software CD with a mix of free, shareware and trial applications, including the two essential freebies, Irfanview and Picasa 2. It is a well chosen selection for the digital darkroom.
Margaret Brown reviews cameras for the magazine PhotoReview and her testing and reporting is the best technically objective assessment of cameras being done in Australia. dpexpert highly recommends PhotoReview as a source of reliable information about the technical qualities of any digital camera.
