Evaluation:

Conclusion: Great Book

Review: This is a must for a new owner of the 700 I have learned so much more from this book than the one that comes with the camera I have the book for the 100 too and they are great books thank you

Evaluation:

Conclusion: Incredibly basic and generalized - could have been about almost any camera!

Review: I am an extreme novice, as in, I've never had a DSLR before and even I got absolutely zero useful information for this camera. The manual was more informative - thanks magic lantern!

Evaluation:

Conclusion: The Plain and Simple Truth

Review: If you are looking for a straight forward and simple approach to appreciating and applying the intricacies of the Sony A700, this is an extremely useful tool. It fills in the always present user manual gaps and simplifies the complexities of the menus and many features into more comprehensible bits.

For example, it clearly explains such essential functions as White Balance,ISO, Histograms, Drive Mode, light metering and focusing nuances, I was able to immediately begin applying lessons learned from this book with the camera in improving my results in low light situations.

One could wish for more comparative photos and more detailed views of on-camera features, but that is a mere quibble compared to the useful information designed to quickly elevate one in mastering the many capabilities of this full-featured SLR.

Evaluation:

Conclusion: Disappointing

Review: Disappointing. Doesn't add much over the manual that came with my A700. Not as useful as some reviewers have implied.

Evaluation:

Conclusion: Great resource

Review: I just bought by Alpha 700 a few months ago. The manual is not complete. This book is. It has plenty of good tips on when to use different features such as the dynamic range feature. A camera like this is quite complex, it is nice to have a handy guide like this book to help guide you through the use of all of the camera's features.
