I thought that I knew a lot about taking video, however I was very wrong. There are so many more options then just pressing record on my camcorder and transferring the tape to vhs. In fact SLR is different from a camcorder. I actually feel outdated saying vhs. This book told me in step by step extremely easy to follow directions on how to do everything and anything about digital SLR. Formatting, lighting, Adobe, filters angles and terms are just a few of the topics covered. A beginner or expert will learn a lot from this book!
I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
