Reviews
I give the book 4 stars because it contains a wealth of information on the Sony A6000. Everything you could want to know about the camera is in this book. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the author is so technical it will be difficult for an newcomer to digital photography to easily digest. And he will be explaining something in chapter 5 (for instance) and will refer you to the same topic back in chapter 1 or ahead in chapter 10. Information on any one topic is typically spread over 3 or 4 locations in the book, and the index is not very detailed or helpful to find all the information for any one subject. I have been in photography since the mid 60's and still find some of his discussion confusing. And I can only read 12-15 pages at a time before I get overloaded and have to put it down. If you want to know your Sony A6000 this is the book to get. Just beware that it is highly technical and LOADED with detailed information on each function which can be confusing at times. Illustrations and photos throughout the book are excellent and very helpful.
