Summary: A book to avoid at all costs
Comment: This book is serious - seriously bad! Even its title is misleading: a professional photographer does not want or need a book that includes half a page explaining what a camera shutter is - nor do most amateurs. The authors impress with their wit, but not with their ability to present information well or accurately: terms (such as "raster"), are used, but not defined until later in the book; a subject can be repeated a page or so after it is first covered; and subjects are dealt with in a superficial manner. Worst of all, the book contains serious inaccuracies eg. a CD-R has a capacity of 65MB (yes, 65), and a 15" CRT monitor weighs 40lb / 88kgs. Unless you want to spend hours checking every piece of information given, steer well clear!

Summary: An equipment glossary with an editorial bias
Comment: Professional Digital Photography was well organized and contained alot of information but seemed to be more an elaborate glossary for beginning photographers with too much space dedicated to past equipment overviews and not enough hands-on information concerning digital photography, scanning and output. The editorial style had a bias that was distracting:example,"...a microlab can process 8-10 rolls of film an hour and be operated by a highschool student with a nose ring."
