Written by a photographer for photographers, Understanding Digital Photography explains not only how to do something in the world of digital photography but, more importantly, why it should be done! Straightforward, easy-to-understand explanations of critically important digital photography concepts are grounded in traditional photographic processes. This allows novices to gain an appreciation of the historical evolution of digital photography as they gain new skills while permitting experienced photographers to quickly bridge the gap between traditional and digital photographic mediums. Drawing upon insights gleaned from more than twenty (20) years of experience as a successful commercial and fine art photographer, the author places the utmost emphasis on equipping his readers with clear-cut explanations of digital photography techniques plus practical examples of how they apply to real-life situations. It is this no-nonsense approach to demystifying digital photography that makes Understanding Digital Photography a "must" for every student, hobbyist, and professional that wants to harness the power of this exciting technology and open new doors to creativity.

Summary: If you enjoy textbook-style books...
Comment: If you enjoy textbook-style books, you will like this one. The author teaches the subject at a college and the influence of college textbooks is evident in this book.
Biggest pluses of this book are its rather comprehensive coverage of digital photograhy, lots of text, and very few pictures as space fillers. This should be viewed as of a technical book of with emphasis on the digital aspects of ...digital photography.

Summary: Easy to understand and Helpful
Comment: As an instructor of Photography and Digital Imagaging, I have found it difficult to recommend texbooks that incorporate ALL the most important points of capturing, transmitting, printing, storing, archiving and copyright of digital images. I generally need to list several titles to cover these various topics. Understanding digital photography covers these in a very concise, logical and easy to comprehend manner. This book is timely, informative, accurate and thorough. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to jump into to the art and technique of digital photography. I especially praise its use for instructional value. I am replacing next year's text with this one.

Summary: Very Interesting Approach to Digital Photography
Comment: Understanding Digital Photography has a very interesting approach to explaining digital photography. It is not the usual general photography book with the word "digital" thrown in for marketing. I like the way the author compares traditional photography with digital photography to explain the way things work in a logical way. This book is also not just a computer or technical book. It is easy to read, and I like that you do not need to read the chapters in order to understand the information.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who really wants to understand more about Digital PHOTOGRAPHY.

Summary: A very practical introduction to digital photography !
Comment: This book is a very practical introduction to digital photography. I teach photography and use it as a text book. As for the one negative feedback item I see here, "A disaster", I would suggest you weigh the value of all of all of the other positive feedback items.
My students find the book to be quite easy to understand, and have expressed their pleasure with the constant comparisons between traditional and digital photography. They believe that this author's approach to digital photography allows for an easy understanding of the media, in context with photography as a whole. Also, I know of a number of other photography instructors that have chosen to use this book as their text at the College and University levels!
This book is a solid work for the budding digital photographer.
