5.0 out of 5 stars Strongly recommend for the new or amateur photographer!
Verified PurchaseThis book is thorough. It was required for a photography class I just took in college, and it presents the information in a way that's easy to understand. There are many, many examples included in the book so you can actually see the differences between almost everything the authors talk about. I found myself reading the rest of the book once the class ended, because I wanted to know more and it's written so well and in a way that's logical and coherent (and occasionally humorous). They spend some time on the digital darkroom (including workflow)-- Lightroom, in particular-- which I didn't expect and fully appreciated. If you have a new camera and you want to know how to maximize its utility, and you want to understand every aspect of photography in a myriad of different situations, get this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Start to Digital Photography
Verified PurchaseReal World Digital Photography is a big undertaking amassing to about 600 pages. I've read a lot of photography books and all of them cover the basic Aperture, Shutter, ISO. What's great about this book though is that it covers almost everything else. It talks in detail about camera sensors, monitor and printer calibration, and why to choose certain types of gear. You won't find many books that have this much information all in one place.
If I was starting out in digital photography a second time, this book would be my go-to reference. Eismann leaves no stone unturned and introduces the beginner to almost every aspect involved with digital photography from the capture all the way through to the print. Every topic that is discussed in this book is worth discussing and the authors go into a reasonable amount of depth for each of them. If I had to pick just one digital photography book to have in my collection, this would be it.
