The Digital Photographer's Handbook (5th Edition) is a comprehensive guide for taking digital photos, making them better with the latest software, and sharing and/or printing them. Ang also covers the latest trends and a buying guide.
This is such a great reference book for those who own and use digital cameras. Whether it's a camera phone, a compact point-and-shoot or a DSLR, there's something in this book for everyone with any type of digital camera. Every time I open up the book, I learn some...more

The first clue that this book, published in 2002, is slightly out of date is in the chapter on choosing a digital camera. The author goes on and on about the merits of spending more to get a 2 Megapixel variety of point and shoot.
I mostly skimmed the rest of the book, skipping the outdated stuff. Most of the Photoshop and image editing tips were things I'd seen before and explained better, too.

My first ever book on digital photography, which I bought when digital cameras were first coming out in the early years of the century (so about 10 years ago in other words!) Its simple, topic-oriented format made it an easy and enjoyable read. Great as a general introduction to digital photography. Similar, in many ways, to his closely-titled "Digital Photography - An Introduction". If anything I'd go with the latter as it packs in the same information, more or less, but in a much small format....more
I am a graphic artist so this book was fairly redundant to me. I did like the different techniques and how he explains them. It is focused directly towards photographers only so my suggestion is if you want to go hardcore into business as a photographer this book is a must have. I think it is perfect for people who want to know as much as possible about photography as well this book will be perfect. I bought this book as a reference and I will enjoy it. The glossary and buying section in the bac...more
Had lots of information, very comprehensive. However, I wanted a short glossary at the beginning since he jumped in with terminology right away. I skimmed through the last sections about scanning film and image manipulation, wasn't interested in that right now.

Recommends it for:
Anyone who has just bought their first digital camera
This is an excellent introduction to digital photography whether you have a cheap or expensive camera.
EDIT: July 2007:
After buying a new Dslr - Nikon D40, I am in the process of re-reading this book. I can indeed confirm my original review. This book is as relevant now as it was when it was first published. Even with all the progress in digital photography and lens technology the basic rules of "Taking a Picture" still apply.

Some chapters I skipped but there are some great tips. The explanations on Photoshop blending modes is fantastic - haven't read anything like that anywhere on the web.
A nice and juicy collection of pointers for the digital photography professional.
Excelente para fotógrafos amadores e profissionais.
This book consists of tons of short little quips about various aspects of digital photography. All in all some interesting ideas, although nothing is taken deep enough. A good example was the section on studio lighting which had two pages with a dozen or so example photographs and how the lighting was set up. For each one it talked about what was wrong with the lighting, but it never showed some examples of what you _should_ do!
Contém algumas boas dicas para os iniciantes de fotografia. Saltei alguns capítulos que falavam sobre scanners e afins.
It was okay information...gave me a few pointers but I lot of it was stuff I already knew.
Good survey of equipment, techniques, and image manipulation software.
An enjoyable practical guide.
