Imaging-resource offers a one page printout to take with you. They offer a technological overview, High Points, Comparison with other models and sample photos. Dave Etchells, the Publisher of the Imaging Resource does most of the digital camera reviews with the help of his "extended" family.

Two concepts are explained very well and reinforced throughout the book. No one will finish this book without a good grasp of resolution and memory cards. Johnson gets you comfortable with each term early and continues to develop both throughout the book. His handy glossary at the back of the book tackles computer terms as well as digital photography words.

The editing and special effects chapters were generically written so that you could easily relate to your own particular camera and software. Johnson makes sure you know how to show off your work with instruction on Displaying Pictures and Printing Pictures.

Much of the contact information and the What's Out There references are useful because they are so current. Yet, I'm afraid that information will find itself outdated rather quickly. Everyone knows the speed at which technology travels when a product is hot, and digital photography is definitely hot.

So get that digital camera out of the box. If you decide to let Dave Johnson and I just bought a Digital Camera, Now What?! be your guide, you will have plenty of courage to tackle the new technology of digital cameras.
