Reviews
This is among the best "manuals" out there. The author is an extremely clear writer and the book is hyper-organized. I feel like I have total control of this great camera -due entirely to this book. The information that comes with the camera is digitized and not very good. Finally, since this my first digital camera I was curious why there was no mention of the need or availability of a UV filter for it. So, i contacted the author David Busch at his blog (listed in the book) and within 20 minutes received a reply that noted that the digital sensor in the G12 is pretty much immune to UV, so a filter is not needed; and since the lens retracts when the camera is switched off, a filter isn't needed for protection either. Great book and great and responsive author. A best buy. ACR
