Anybody got Steve's book yet? If anybody has bought it, it would be interesting to hear a review. |
|
|
|
I
purchased Steve's book and would certainly recommend it. it was well worth the
money. My
HD100 arrived a week after I purchased the book and it certainly help me "jump
start" my knowledgebase and capability of the camera and HD in general. That
was 3 weeks ago, without the book I would still be on week 1. I
don't think you can go wrong, especially at his price point. |
|
|
|
I'm reading it now myself and it also is helping me out. |
|
|
|
For the price, the book represents a good value for anyone interested in current HDV Technology |
|

Sure, you could probably find all the information on the internet, but when you buy Steve's book, what you are basically paying for is someones expertise in not only research and collating information but putting that information into some sort of meaningful order. I
have two other really good books one on DV and one on HDV; so why did I buy
Steve’s book? Because it fills in a lot of blank spaces for me. If
you want a book that will increase your knowledge on the subject to a greater
or lesser extent no matter who you are, then in my opinion Steve's book is a
damn site better than many I've seen. P.S.
I like my comfort zone (I think everyone does) but I know that to push myself
out of it now and again is always rewarding. |
