Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I like Scott's first two volumes. But this one is lost in repetition, filler and useless information. I am not sure what kind of photographers' author is trying to target, typically it should be advanced photographers as it is 3rd volume. Some reviewers mentioned that it's good for beginners but I don't think so it contained some advance info and some very basic stuff and it also keep referring to 1st and 2nd volumes. Good: If you are product photographer then you have got some information in this book. Bad: Repetition Topics: A few examples... 1. Sharpest Aperture: We already discussed this in first two books and same info is shared as topic. 2. Wake up early in the morning. 3. Most of topics in Sports are already covered. 4. As usual screen shot of B&H Photo-Video site which is not relevant to that topic. Ohh wait! This time it's different page not homepage. Why do we require this site's pictures while author is trying to explain myth about card speed. Filler: This is interesting. A few examples, these points are covered as full page topic in book. 1. There is separate whole topic on how to change lens. (May be in Vol-4, Scott will cover how to properly charge/install battery) 2. How to clean lenses. 3. Shortcut for formatting memory card. 4. Resetting camera setting. Come on! These topics are covered in detail in operating manuals of every DSLR/Lens. 5. As usual too much advertising of websites and expensive gears. I was expecting real professional info/tips and going beyond volumes 1 and 2, not the same information/filler. This book is certainly not for me. If you really want to get some interesting tips, you may want to check out `Understanding Exposure:...' by Bryan Peterson.
