Decent text, but a little basic for what I wanted at this point. It didn't go into detail on lighting, using flash, or any of the crunchy subject I'm interested in at this point. It's good for the beginner; I wouldn't recommend it for the intermediate or advanced photographer.

i actually read the 7the edition but the info is pretty much the same. concise, easy to grasp information about photography basics that can be used towards film and digital photography (except for the parts on how to develop your black and white film). definitely a text geared towards beginners.

This is an easy-to-follow book. Tells you all the basics you need to know about the technical aspects. It has a nice relevant terms dictionary in the back that I found useful.

Too basic. Can't imagine it is helpful even for very beginners.
Read 7th edition.
