If you want to really learn digital photography... if you have a digital camera but don't understand half of its features... if you are considering moving up from an old "film-style" camera to a digital camera, but aren't quite sure what kind of camera to get... this website was written just for you.
So when I got my Canon EOS digital camera for Christmas, my friends thought it was kind of funny.
I mean, I'm the person whose VCR still blinks "12:00" because I don't know how to set the clock.
Heck, come to think of it...I'm probably the only person in the US who still owns a VCR.

You know, a book that was low on fluff and just tells me what I need to know about digital photography.
I don't want to know all the techincal details, or read a university-level course on photographic composition, etc.
I just want to know...what are the basic tips that pro digital photographers know that would make my pictures a lot better?
