Thank you for making my books the Number One best-selling camera guides on Amazon.com!  That's number one regardless of camera model, including all other guides for Nikon, Canon, Sony, or other makes.

My guides are run-away best sellers because these incredible cameras are furnished with black-and-white manuals that frustrate you with cross-references that jump back and forth just to provide the most basic information about a feature. Most other third-party guides aren't much of an improvement. They don't explain photography with your new camera, and the sparse illustrations are many of them are all monochrome. In my books, the only time I use a black-and-white photo is when I'm explaining how to take better pictures in black-and-white!

Canon, Sony, Pentax, and Olympus all make incredible digital SLRs -- but they package them with black-and-white manuals that frustrate you with cross-references that jump back and forth just to provide the most basic information about a feature. Most third-party guides aren't much of an improvement. They don't explain photography with your new camera, and the sparse illustrations are all monochrome. In my books, the only time I use a black-and-white photo is when I'm explaining how to take better pictures in black-and-white!

All my content is based on what you've told me you want to see in a guidebook. If you own an entry-level camera, like the Canon EOS XSi, Pentax D200, Sony Alpha A380/A330/A230, Pentax K200D, or Olympus Pen E-P2, you've said you want a simple explanation of the camera's focus controls, flash options, how to choose that second lens, or which exposure modes are best.
