Product Description
Anyone who buys this superb Sony semi-professional camera will want to try out every one of its awesome features. The 12.24 MP Exmor APS-C size CMOS imager, with on-chip noise-canceling before and after A/D conversion, provides over 12 million pixels. A Dynamic Range Optimizer with Advanced Auto mode allows you to select any of 5 dynamic range optimization (DRO) correction levels; Super SteadyShot Image Stabilization has built-in technology that moves the image sensor in response to camera shake, reducing blurs. Magic Lantern shows photographers how they all work

The Plain and Simple Truth June 15, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
If you are looking for a straight forward and simple approach to appreciating and applying the intricacies of the Sony A700, this is an extremely useful tool. It fills in the always present user manual gaps and simplifies the complexities of the menus and many features into more comprehensible bits.
For example, it clearly explains such essential functions as White Balance,ISO, Histograms, Drive Mode, light metering and focusing nuances, I was able to immediately begin applying lessons learned from this book with the camera in improving my results in low light situations.
One could wish for more comparative photos and more detailed views of on-camera features, but that is a mere quibble compared to the useful information designed to quickly elevate one in mastering the many capabilities of this full-featured SLR.
 Disappointing June 9, 2008

Disappointing. Doesn't add much over the manual that came with my A700. Not as useful as some reviewers have implied.
 Great resource May 2, 2008

I just bought by Alpha 700 a few months ago. The manual is not complete. This book is. It has plenty of good tips on when to use different features such as the dynamic range feature. A camera like this is quite complex, it is nice to have a handy guide like this book to help guide you through the use of all of the camera's features.
Magic Lantern Guide to Sony A700 DSLR April 8, 2008
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
I found this book to be very informative and helpful. I bought it because I had previously purchased a Magic Lantern Camera Guide by this same author and it was also very helpful. The A700 is a fantastic but somewhat complicated camera, and this guide cleared up much of the mystery.
