Summary: More Than I Expected!
Review: As a neophyte in the digital camera world,I was challenged and inspired by the possibilities presented to me by Gregory Georges. This book provides more information than I ever expected to find in one place, and will be all I need to become a good photog as I go into my retirement years. I found extremely useful the author's comparisons of digital image editors. Thank you, Gregory Georges, for writing a "how to" book that is fun to read and clear in its directions.

Summary: BEST of the lot, tried them all, Al T, Daytona Beach
Review: Entered this wonderful Digital Photo realm a few months ago, got a good camera, scanner, and upgraded the computer, Must say, I tried several dummy/idiot books and found that I am neither, then got the "Digital Camera Solutions" book and off I went. This is a book written for real humans. The author is literate on the subject, the progression of topics is the way it should be, and it is loaded with color photos. The many photos really helped me. And, there is a continuing description of the various editing softwares (and filters) relative to the topic being discussed. There are so many "softwares" on the market, this truly assisted me. Bottom line, Georges knows his stuff, did his homework, and made a most literate contribution for those from beginner, to intermediate, to even the advanced user. And it is done, in a most realistic, easy to learn from, approach to Digital Photography, the title says it all......

Summary: THE BEST FOR THE BEGINNER
Review: I am new in the digital world. I found this book to be super for me. I am a mature individual (61 years) a beginner and I now feel I am a PRO. I am sure that there are many like me that did not grow up with computers and are either afraid or in the learning phase. This book uses the KISS approach. IE keep it simple stupid. There are more folks that are starting out than are the true PROS. This book will get you there in a hurry. Best money I have spent in a long time.

Summary: Digital Camera Solutions
Review: I bought this book based on the glowing Amazon reviews. I started with the book's basic definitions. The book says that "A pixel is the smallest unit used to make an image on a computer." Used by whom? I skip to Dots per inch (dpi) and find "dpi is a simple term than tends to be confused with image size. Dots per inch is an important characteristic of both output and input devices." I still have no idea what the author is talking about and go to the referred image size and find "Image size is usually expressed in terms of inches or pixels." I hope the books gets better because it can't get worse. ... Jim Hagan

Summary: How Did You Know What I Was Looking For?!!
Review: In 350 pages, Mr. Georges has given a beginner an amazing course in digital camera fundamentals, software, imaging techniques, and electronic display. So often we are not wise enough in a new subject to even know what to ask, but this author seems to sense that, and answers those questions before they are asked. As I learn more about the possibilities I have with my digital camera, this will be a reference I will want at my fingertips.

Summary: More Than a Beginner's Book
Review: This book is a truly wonderful source of ideas, and a wonderful source of information on some of the programs a digital photographer might want or need. I'm not at all new to digital photography but I learned a great deal from the book, and got several invaluable ideas from it. I was also reminded of several programs which will make digital photography easier and more fun for me, my family, and my friends. If every definition isn't precise, if every single idea doesn't appeal to every sinlge reader, that's not the point. The immense value of this book is that anyone with an open mind *will* learn from it and will find at least several ideas she/he wants to incorporate into their own experience. It's one of the very best digital photography books I've read.

Summary: Excellent for Beginners
Review: This book should be called Digital Imaging Solutions, because it goes beyond the camera to thoroughly cover other digital processes, such as scanning, touch up work, storage and sharing. This book is PC-centric (not cross-platform as billed) and is ideal for users beginner to intermediate. The digitally uninitiated professional would also benefit.

Summary: Excellent overview of digital photography issues!
Review: This is really a book for the beginner or intermediate photographer just hopping into digital photography - not for the professional looking for the latest technical improvements in the industry. This book helps you get your act together and make the plunge into this new and fast growing technology. Even the most knowledegeable amateur can pick up some new tips - Greg pointed out some basics like keeping your best pics as "read-only" files. File organization, how to buy a camera, managing and storing files, turning digital images into print, and just plain basic computer management of the whole digital photography process is what this book is all about. Many of us need to read this before we get embroiled in the techy issues of this new industry.
