Photographer's Guide to the Sony DSC-HX80 and HX90V: Getting the Most from Sony's Pocketable Superzoom Cameras Paperback – March 24, 2017

Following the advice of people who reviewed the camera, I bought the book at the same time I bought the camera. I'm very glad I did; it makes up for a virtually pointless user's guide that came with the camera. This book takes me step-by-step through the features and capabilities of my camera. I've used several of them that I know I would never have known about if not for this book. It's clearly laid out and the writing is straight-forward enough for a beginner like me to appreciate. You won't regret this book if you own one of these cameras (and the cameras are great, too).

The little Sony DSC-HX90v has a lot of features and is quite adjustable to suit the photographer or the situation. This guide is a huge help! The camera companies seem to think it's just fine to publish a tiny booklet with vague descriptions of the camera's capabilities. Just leaving one to fumble around to see what it can do. Pretty much the same as buying a nice new computer and finding that in order to use features you need to go buy a book to get the most out of it. Thank you Alexander White for going into detail about these great little cameras. I may purchase the print version as well since Kindle versions leave a lot to be desired when it comes to illustrations or photos.

Good book for detailed use of the cameras.

I found the brief manual that came with my Sony HX80 and Sony's online help guide simply inadequate. With the help of this book I finally know how to make full use of the many features of my HX80. The writing is very clear and is enhanced with a huge number of color photographs of menus and example pictures. I strongly recommend getting the print version to make optimal use of the detailed Table of Contents and Index to quickly turn to the relevant pages to answer specific questions. I see this book as an essential accessory for the HX80 and similar HX90.

This guy knows his cameras, and he's superb at conveying to us the things we want to know. None of that stuff is in the manufacturer's instruction material. If your camera is covered by one of his books, buy that book. It will be written specifically for your camera--not boilerplated from a somewhat similar one.

Deliver was quick.Book is well detailed and written such that new users as well as seasoned users of cameras can understand.I am using the book to learn more details about the Sony camera that I purchased. Interested learning about it's many features.

This book is FANTASTIC. It has wonderful colored pictures with the best instructions on how to use your camera. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book if you have a Sony DSC-HX80or HX90V camera. This book is all you will ever need to understand your camera.

Very useful
