Ok.. I must admit. .I just received this book and it is really really good! It certainly has that rehash factor.. but at least it is mingled in between the chapters and is really very well done.

I highly recommend this one... its basically a primer on how to use your camera (and equpment) to take better photos without getting into all the usual dry technical explainations..

For example... you want to take a picture of a flower in focus with a blurred background.. usually you'll get the whole talk about fstop and DOF.. here - Scott plainly says.. put a zoom lens on the camera, set it to f2.8, focus on flower - done! Nicely said..
