Advantages: All you need to know to get going in this field Disadvantages: More on photography tips would be nice!
Are you struggling with the change from film to digital photography? Unsure about printing, backing up or memory cards? This newish title from O'Reilly could be just what you're looking for. Unlike many books, it doesn't just cover taking pictures but instead covers a whole range of issues and options that you may encounter with digital photography. It is however rather Windows-centric.
As is common with the series, Digital Photography The MissingManual has an easy going style full of subtle humour and plenty of anecdotes and tips.

The first thing that strikes you is the gorgeous presentation of the book. Ilex Press titles we have seen have always been impressive in this respect with superb quality brilliant white paper, excellent layout and flaps on the thick glossy cover ...
Advantages: Broad coverage, lots of useful tricks, great writing style Disadvantages: Nothing
With Windows Vista now out in the wild, anyone who has just bought a new PC or has migrated over from Windows XP will be wondering what hit them. The first tranche of Vista books are now upon us, some aimed at the more technical end of the spectrum, others firmly targetted at people who just want to know how to use it. Windows Vista The MissingManual could be just what they're looking for.
Windows Vista The MissingManual comes from the rapidly growing stable of 'MissingManual' books aimed at end users who have either found the online help rather lacking or in the rare case an actual printed manual was supplied with their software, that it skimps on the details.
Unlike many books which focus on the new features of Vista, this one is more of a general guide to Windows, it just happens to be Vista in this instance. Accordingly ...
