Reviews
I am an intermediate photographer, but I admit I buy these when I get a new camera (which I just did) because I'm also somewhat blind and I can at least see the pages! (Although ironically, the Nikon D7100 had a decent-sized manual) Easy to follow however, sensibly written with a flow that the manual lacks. I don't need help with issues of aperture, depth of field, etc. (I just hunt and peck through them to find out where things are buried in the camera's menus so I can access everything my model has). However, if you are new to photography, this book also offers a bit of advice on the basics of photography. These book's' name are embarrassing, but I got over that years ago - it's way better than squinting! However, I recommend that you don't completely ignore your manual - it does offer some more esoteric information on care, use, etc)
