Rating: - Not up to date - more for film than digital
I was hoping to broaden my knowledge of exposure, spot metering, how to meter, how meters work, however this book is more about of a series of pictures with camera setting details, rather than an educational tutorial . If you are a total beginner it might worth it, not for advanced photographers. Also, I was under the impression that it's more for film shooters than the digital. Quite poor and not up to date.

Rating: - Buy this one!
After a long time away from SLR's I needed a quick refresher and this relatively inexpensive book wipes the floor with other more expensive ones I purchased. Its easy to read, has practically everything you need to know. The practice lessons are very useful too. It helped me enormously and I'm sure beginners and old hands alike will find it indispensable. If there were 6 stars I'd give them.

Rating: - Good starter text
While the bias of this book leans heavily towards 35mm film cameras, with a vague nod in the direction of digital, it's still a worthwhile read. The information on aperture, shutter speed and ISO may be familiar enough, but the material on metering and exposure compensation is extremely interesting, not to mention useful. While Peterson's tendency to boast gets a little tiring (his comments discussing how he took a particular shot would be fine, if he didn't insist on showing off how quickly/well ... Read More
