The book came on time and in great condition. I'm taking a Photography class and all thou th th email whole book is not based on just photography, I really recommend this for anyone interested in learning more on the subject and if you don't have much experience in the field.

As a student i would love to save money where I can and this book is one spot where you can save some money. You could imagine my disappointment when a classmate said they got an earlier edition and paid less than a dollar for it. This edition of the book incorporates both film and digital cameras. If i were a photo major instead of a cinema major this is basically two books for two different classes. Do keep in mind this book is more focused on the film camera and the digital cameras are more of an extra but many of the topics in the digital version of this book "A Short Course in Digital Photography." If you are only planning to take a film course in photography then you can get a much cheaper version of this book since film has not changed in years, but if you want versatility and the option to take the digital course with the same book or just want to learn more about digital then you should get this book and save money.

Got this for a photography class. It has a lot of information but we never had to use the book much for class so I never have taken the time to look through it much. What I have seen in it though is very useful, explaining simple techniques and showing examples. It's easy to understand and isn't too crazy hard to figure things out.

The book came as described and in acceptable condition. There were no tears and the package came on time. I was surprised it was not wet because It rained a lot that day and the outside of the package was wet (inside was dry as a bone)

I needed this textbook to study for my Intro to Photography class. I rented this book and it's quite inexpensive to rent, so I'm happy with my rental. The book was also in pretty good condition, well worth the rental.

I have many books on photography but this one was the required text for a little refresher course. It really is short and still it hits everything that needs attention for someone to start shooting with film.

This is a good book for both film cameras as well as digital cameras. If you are a beginner it is not the book for you, you need to know a little about photography first. I had to get this book for a college class that I was taking and I have only opened the book once, I have found more information online about my camera and its features.

This is a great book for those seeking to have a full understanding of what it takes to capture amazing photos and understand photography basics. I'm very happy with this book; A keeper/must have.
