David Busch's Sony Alpha a5000/ILCE-5000 Guide to Digital Photography Paperback – 24 Sept. 2014

This book is very informative and easy to understand. Busch is obviously a very competent and knowledgeable photographer, but can write without using complex jargon .the book is illustrated throughout with high quality text and photos. Well worth buying.

Excellent book. I'm not an entusiast photographer but want to take good photos. I bought it on other people's reviews hoping it would help me understand all the menu options. It does. It is very comprehensive and well written. I would fully recommend it to anyone wanting to get to know their camera.

Excellent book. Very useful to learn more about the camera and its functions. Would recommend this book to any owner of this SONY camera.

A great book, with clear explanations and photographs. I love my camera but had been so disappointed by the so called 'manual' which came with it. It was nothing more than a 'how to get started' guide.. The Sony website is so difficult to navigate, but this book has everything I need and I'm so pleased I found it. If you want to 'get off auto' then I'd say this is a 'must buy'.

Really helpful and easy to understand book, helped me make the most of my camera.

I bought this because the Sony so-called "User Guide" is pretty useless. Busch has produced a very worthwhile "help mate" which is clear and comprehensive and I wouldn't be without it. If you've either bought - or you're thinking of buying - the a5000 it's worth investing a few quid in this book too.

This book is an excellent purchase,,,i spent a fair bit of time reading various reviews before purchasing my camera as i move up one step from point and shoot to the next step,,,,a lot of reading,,but it will be invaluable now and in the future,,, one step at a time.

Easy to use much better than the Sony Manual
