A book on how to use 'THIS' Camera, not how to use 'A' Camera
Format: Paperback
For starters, this book is fantastic. Accurate, concise, to the point, and easy to follow along with. Sitting down with the A6000 and this book, it was extremely easy to bring up functions, see their effects, and make mental notes as to their usefulness when applied to my own shooting. That being said, most of the complaints with this book have to deal with it's "technicality" and not being newbie friendly. And they're kind of right, but they also miss the point of it. This is not a book teaching you how to take great photographs. It's a user manual for a camera, and it assumes a level of knowledge about general photography that you must already have. It will tell you how to adjust aperture, but it won't explain aperture and it's effects on your photograph. It will tell you how to set manual focus, and tools to assist in manual focusing, but it's not going to tell you what a focus ring is or how to use it. It will tell you how to adjust flash compensation, but will not tell you what types of flashes exist, or when and where you should use them. Those things are basic photographic knowledge, and you should buy an over-all photography basics book or course to learn them. If you have a handle on basic photographic terms and concepts, you'll have absolutely no problem using this book to get the most out of your A6000. If you are coming from a cell-phone or a point-and-shoot camera to the A6000, and do not have a basic grasp on how more hands-on photography works, you should still get this book. But you should also get a book on photography basics, and you should read that before you touch this one. Buying this without knowing the basics is like buying a car and expecting the owners manual to teach you how to pass your drivers license test. That's not it's purpose. ... show more

Most Excellent and Friendly
Format: Paperback
Very thorough and starts with basics for us newbies to photography. I can't speak for the advanced crowd, as I am not advanced enough to make a statement. On reading, it goes into the very complex world of the Sony Alpha 6000 which I really like. His tips are extremely helpful. I will use this book for some time to come for sure. It is written for regular people to read, you do not need a degree in engineering to understand what he is saying. However, that said, it will definitely take one to highly complex use and complete mastery of this camera. ... show more

Sony ILCE-6000 owners - BUY THIS BOOK!
Format: Kindle
This book is filled with valuable information! The Sony users guides assume too much knowledge on the part of the user. I bought the camera to attach to a telescope. But the Sony-provided information on how to do that is very skimpy. Right after purchasing the camera, I took it with me to an astronomy expedition that included professional photographers. I asked for advice and was told the a6000 was indeed a good one for that purpose and was shown how to set some of the parameters. But the camera is very feature rich with only a few buttons, a wheel, and a dial to navigate them, much more complicated than the older Nikons, Sonys, and Olympus cameras I have used. It is all too easy to become lost in the feature forest. With the aid of this book, I now know how to set the parameters to take good photos with a telescopic lens as well as how to use the many other features it offers. I have the Kindle edition. The only complaint I have is that, like most Kindle books, the text can be zoomed but not the graphics. While the graphic displays of the camera are very sharp, the numbers in green dots in Figure 2-2 are hard to discern on the Kindle screen without a magnifying glass. In spite of that, I still prefer the Kindle version to the book version. ... show more

Good book with a vital flaw for me
Format: Kindle
For many years I was a Canon shooter. I knew that environment well, but when all of my lenses and camera bodies were lost in a plane crash that I survived, I decided to go to the world of mirrorless starting with the Sony Alpha 6000. As everyone knows, the Sony manual sucks dirt. I needed more so that I could make the transition to mirrorless without setting up the camera to act exactly like my Canons always did. I wanted to be able to utilize the features of the A6000 that a DSLR can't emulate. In that regard, Busch's book helped in ways that I didn't expect and he gets kudos for that. The vital flaw for me was that in the chapter discussing exposure, early on, he wrote that he would later cover exposure lock. The chapter ended and the subject never came up again. I would like to have seen more on AEL. I searched in my Kindle version but the topic is only vaguely discussed. I've only had this book for about a week. Perhaps I will change my mind, but since I am a photo journalist who is desperately trying to come up to speed, I'm not certain that I will. ... show more

First camera? You NEED this book!
Format: Paperback
The title should be taken literally; Sony a6000 Guide to Digital Photography. If this is your first non point & shoot camera and you are just starting out, this book is a MUST! It really is what the title says, it goes over all of the basics of photography and teaches from the point of this specific camera and goes on to explain every aspect of every feature, how to find it, and how to use it. I’ve been overwhelmed and feeling like I’m not getting anywhere for the 2 months I’ve owned my camera and bought the book to cross reference the generalized beginner photography info I was finding; but this book has that too! If this is your 1st camera-you NEED THIS BOOK! (And a nice pkg of page markers and hi-lighters too 😊) ... show more

This book is way better than any manual because the author loves photography and teaching too! (In my HMO)
Format: Paperback
I love this book. I wish I had one for my other cameras. There is no real manual for this camera. For novice photographers it was a bummer and I felt like getting rid of it since I didn't know how to use all the bells and whistles. When I was trying to find a manual online I ran across this book as a suggestion. I AM SO GLAD THAT I DID! The author takes you from the beginning out of the box and builds on the use in each chapter. It is well written so that anyone (novice or expert) can read it and get something from it. He gives tips and extra comments about SONY and buying extra accessories. He instructs you not only what the camera can do but what it won't do either. For example he tells you whether the flash will work when you are using certain scene selections. No one would be able to figure that out with the limp noodle manual from Sony. The guy is coming from an expert's point of view. He is an awesome writer. Even if you didn't have the camera you would enjoy reading the book! I can't wait to implement all that I am reading. ... show more

Great Book
Format: Kindle
I normally do not read manuals (who has time to read?) since most info can be found elsewhere That being said, David did a great job on this book. I have had my a6000 for about six months and wanted to see if there is more to the camera than meets the eye. This book gave me a lot of information that I didn’t know as well as refresh a lot of forgotten info. Just finished the book and will download David’s book for my Nikon D500 camera (which is an awesome camera by the way). I am not a professional photographer but I have been a photographer for more 40 years and am well versed in all aspects of my hobby. Like most photographers, we are always ready to learn something new. Thanks David! ... show more
