Mastering Digital SLR Photography Review by D. Turkmen
DSLR photography in details starting with very basics
After purchasing my first DSLR camera, I knew I had to buy a book about Digital SLRs since I had very limited knowledge about them.
This book does a great job by starting off with the very basics including the history of digital cameras, how a digital sensor work comparing to a film, how the lenses work (physics class, anyone?), and how camera measures points for focusing and light metering etc. This kind of low-level (in computer terms) information helps you understand how your camera's hardware work to produce a picture. With this knowledge, you can later understand better why using certain technique or supplying a specific condition gets you a better picture.
It also has a nice glossary at the end where you can check the definitions of terms such as "Shutter Lag","Parallax Compensation", or "Matrix Metering"
If you are a new DSLR owner, and you have no problem reading/understanding some technical explanation, I highly recommend this book.
