The Perfect Gift

This book is very informative and easy to understand.My daughters love it. They are both into photography and I am a photographer.

Kids guide to digital photography

Wonderful guide for kids, and those of us who are starting with photography. Great descriptions and clear directions.

great book for kids or beginners

this book covers the basics. easily written for a kid to understand. my daughter is 11 and that seems about the right level for her. i wish it covered more setting up a good composition. it covers the basics on camera use and scanners and fixing photos after in the computer. i wish photo books would stick to teaching how to take good pictures and not so much on fixing them up in the computer afterwards, but every book seems to spend a lot of time on that. overall, its the best book i could find for a kid. it's written in language that i think they will relate to well.

Wow! What a Great Book!

While there may not be a "perfect" guide for digital photography, this one comes as close as I've ever seen. It covers everything from choosing a camera (and how to get the most out of it) to editing, printing and even using the web. It even covers areas that many adults seem to have problems with, like the "Reality Check" regarding built in flash. Focus, composition, exposure and even ISO are all covered. Granted, some subjects are just touched on rather than discussed in depth but remember the intended reader. (In my case, my 12-year old.) If the kid really wants to learn about any given subject there are countless specialized books to be found. Overall I have to say that I highly recommend this book. I'd even go so far to say that I would even buy it for an adult, especially one that might be a bit technophobic.
