Customer Reviews

Great book!
This book has been a lifesaver for me! It's written very clearly, and I've found it very helpful for my Sony Alpha camera.

For novices only; essentially just a glorified Sony manual
Long story short - this was a waste for me. Definitely for entry-level DSLR photographers ONLY. Essentially a glorified Sony manual.

Good book for a great product
This book is a great help in showing all the features of the A100. I just wish Sony had such a book with their cameras. I would tell everyone who buys this camera to get the book. I just hope they come up with books for the new Sony products.
