It sounds like Scott has finally let someone else to work on his baby – only kidding. I love his books –each time and every time you read any them – or any of his blogs for that matter, it feels like you are having a personal conversation with the guy, which is very rare in tech world.
In saying so I am glad to read in your review that this book will entertain photo ‘grown ups’, after his 2 previous books (although they are brilliant) I am looking forward to something more ..hmm let’s say ‘meaty ‘ !
Thanks for the review – much appreciated. Getting hold of his books in South Africa is not easy (usually have to ship them in) and they much more expensive than in Europe or America. I am very happy to know this is going to be money well spent..

I have learned so much from Scott’s books one and two. # 3 definitely needs to be on my bookshelf as well. His tips and lessons are simple and to the point, and easy to put into practice immediately. My photography has improved a great deal since I received the first two as a birthday present in September.

Great review. Thanks for the preview of what to expect from this book.

There are different stages in life for a photography-enthusiast – First you enjoy your point and shoot and wonder why people really carry big guns to shoot the same thing. Then time goes on, suddenly P&S bites you with its shortcomings and you want to upgrade to a DSLR. You learn the key elements of photography and keep referring blogs for improvement and ideas. Now there should be some time in this, when you want to cross the amateur line and want to push yourself further. I think this is exactly where this book will give a helping hand with its great tips. Looking forward to read this.

The 3rd volume is great. I’ve really enjoyed all of Kelby’s books. The only thing that was missing from this book was his list of recommendations on the next photography books to read, which he included in both V.1 and V.2 .

Scott Kelby’s books, video tutorials, and magazine articles are always easy to read,
in-depth, and pleasurable, as he spins his good humor into his technical explanations.
You will always learn something new from Scott and with a smile on your face!

I read Scott Kelby’s first volume of the Digital Photography Book cover to cover and loved it. I keep it handy as a reference when using certain types of gear or composing certain types of shots. It has been a great help to me in my learning process. I’d love to get my hands on this latest volume!

While I am a relic of Nikon film photography. I am new to Digital Photography, Canon, listening to your podcast and jogging (thats while I am listening to your podcast.) I have recently purchased a Canon and done a lot of research to bring me up to date on digital. Looking at how the book is laid out, I really would enjoy this book to help sharpen my skills from all levels. I enjoyed the review and will enjoy the book.

Very good review. That pretty much reflects my thoughts on the first two books so I’m looking forward to reading this one.
