The Photographer's Dictionary, Dec 8 2010
By Peter John Lyne - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Photographer's Dictionary: An A to Z of Technical Terms Explained (Paperback)
Excellent book.Glad I bought it as my knowledge of camera technical terms is very restricted and now that I am trying to learn how to operate my first digital SLR this book has opened up the pathway to such terms as White Balance, Aperture Priority, Dioptric Compensation....mind bogling stuff for a 'digital' RAW novice.The quality of printing and binding is very good.A robust Dictionary for the novice and professional photographer.What it lacked was an A-Z INDEX.

Photo Dictionary, Jan 6 2009
By David A. Callard - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Photographer's Dictionary: An A to Z of Technical Terms Explained (Paperback)
A useful resource for basic photographic terminology. Suited to the beginner, it is missing some important terms. For instance, I can find no reference to EXIF. Still, it's a start.
