  • Worth its weight . . . which is substantial.
Very thorough, complex and in-depth. This camera is quite amazing and I really needed the help given in this book. It is very long and covers the amazing number of possibilities for operating successfully. I still have much to learn and a quick review of the book shows that everything is covered. Owning the book also allows for a download of the color version for free. Can't beat that. Gary Friedman has such complete knowledge of the a6000 that one feels very limited by lack of experience as a neophyte photographer, as I am. If you really want to learn to operate your a6000 this is the best instruction out there. I did a huge amount of research before purchasing this book and highly recommend it if you are serious. If not, just set your camera on P (program) and take photos. It then works great as a point and shoot. A fairly expensive one, however. Seriously, even very advanced photographers can learn a lot from Mr. Friedman's Complete Guide . . . ... show more

  • Very helpful book
The A6000 is a great camera, but can be very confusing as there are so many options available with it (I thought my Nikon D7100 had a lot!) The "manual" that comes with it is a joke. I looked at You tube videos on the A6000 till I was blue in the face. Finally I got this book. What a relief! Finally, good clear explanations of all the features and how to use them, what works best together and what doesn't. For me, this book has been a tremendous help. The book is over 500 pages long, but the good thing is that if you're looking for a specific subject it has the information all in one place and doesn't refer you to a different page every minute. So there is some repetition throughout the book where there is overlap of information.. If you want to take advantage of all the features this camera has, I would recommend this book. ... show more

  • My Initial Impressions - UPDATED
I got my a6000 in April as a birthday present. Just purchased this Guide in late August. This is my first Sony camera. My other cameras are Canons. I have not read thru this guide yet, so this is just an "initial impression." I'd like to come back later with a more specific review later after I've used the guide for a month or so. In scanning thru the book, it seems to be very thorough and well-written, with plenty of plain English explanations and descriptions. Definitely more than just a "manual" that simply tells you what all the buttons and menus mean. It talks about all the buttons, all the menu options, plus much more re how and when to use certain settings etc. Seems to be a good teaching guide in addition to a "user" guide. It's a little over an inch thick -so there is plenty here to read. My first impression is that this will be a very good resource for me. One immediate downside I notice though is that although the pictures on the cover are beautiful color photos (taken with the a6000 I assume), all the actual pictures used as samples to explain items are black and white! The B&W photos don't help very much with the explanations - can't see the nuances that are being explained in the book. Plenty of helpful pictures throughout the book, but you can't get any appreciation of what's being described or explained because the pics are B&W. In my view, this really craters a huge potential value in this book. Aside from the useless B&W photos, the context, tone, method of explanation, and thoroughness all seem top notch. I'm sure I'll still learn a great deal. ==================================================== UPDATE: 29 Aug 20014 I can provide an update now that I've gone through the Guide, grouped in + and - below. This is a great resource for a6000 owners and I'm changing my rating from 3 stars to 4. + Re my original comments about the pics in the Guide being in B&W ... I discovered that the author does indeed provide a free full color PDF version of the book if you send him an email with your receipt attached. Once you download the free color PDF version, you can see all the material in color, including all the sample pics. Can also download the PDF version to your other devices. [This free download is mentioned in the intro pages prior to the Table of Contents, so you may miss it if you are not looking for it.] + This not a "pocket guide" by any means. At almost 600 pages, it's pretty thick. But I can't think of any material that was superfluous or irrelevant. Except for a few pages devoted to plugging the author's photography blog and photography seminars, it was all good, useful content provided in a tone focused towards users that are a few steps beyond "beginner." I'll take the few pages of advertising given all the other good, succint, plain language guidance and tips. + Extra tips and techniques that apply to digital photography, regardless of camera, are provided in the back. + Guide is well-written and provides short explanations, detailed explanations, sample pictures, sample menu screen shots, and tables for quick reference. Every item, button, and menu option is explained in a friendly, understandable manner. + I sat down with this Guide, a6000 in hand, and reviewed all my settings while reading the Guide explanations. -All the page references are off by 2 pages. For example, the Guide (and Index) may refer to an item on page 31, but the actual item being referred to is on page 29. Maybe this was caused by the addition of the 2 intro pages after final edit? -A couple of instances where the exact same text is repeated on multiple pages. Not sure if this was intentional or not. Repeated text makes it seems like the book was not closely edited. ... show more

  • Good for a beginner or advanced beginner.
If you are an advanced user of digital cameras in general then this book will have little useful information for you (assuming you have read all of Sony's documentation already). The effort by the author is appreciated and at 598 pages it is quite a bit of effort that probably went into it. I have been reading the books written by Thom Hogan (www.bythom.com) about Nikon cameras for 10+ years and have been spoiled by them. If the author intends to update this book or write another book for a different camera then he could do much worse than to be inspired by Thom's books about Nikon cameras (i.e. the one about the D800). Thom sets a high standard and unfortunately this effort falls short of it. Just a couple of thoughts; Just for starters, this book needs a much longer and more complete index and also needs to list the camera's complete set of specifications. ... show more

  • A necessity for the Sony A6000
Just got this book yesterday and it is filled with the many functions that I had no idea existed in the Sony A6000. What a camera. I like the paper it is written on. It is not the slick kind that so many are written on. Addition to initial review. The index in this book is two pages off in every listing. ex. item listed for pg.200 will be found on pg.198. ... show more

  • Index doesn't correspond to book!!
I love the index choices, however they send you to pages that have nothing at all to do with them. Today I searched on "hot shoe" and "studio strobe", and was delighted to see these rather advanced concepts mentioned in the index. Unfortunately the three pages they send you made no mention of them at all. I imagine that those subjects appear somewhere in the book but I have no idea how to find them. It looks like the indexing function broke, and they printed the book anyway. ... show more
