Any one have a copy of the book?

What do you think about it, is it written for the novice or expert?

How has it helped you in the operation of your HMC150?

And by the way, if you like to sell your used copy let me know!
 
Very good book. Novice to advanced. Some quirks that are nice to know even if you are the "expert" type. Should have came with the camera imo. Also Barry's scene files are interesting.
 
Its a must if you really want to learn how to use the 150. Covers all aspects of the camera, even limitations and tips/tricks...
 
I agree with everyone above. You can find a pdf online that explains all the functions of the HMC150, but having Barry's book has been a tremendous help. From novice to expert, the book is well worth owning.
 
I agree with all above posts, it's a must have. If you spent that much $$$$ on the camera, what's a few bucks to learn to use your camera more efficiently. There are a lot of things in the manual that are only touched on and cryptic if your a novice just getting into prosumer cams and after reading the book, I learned a lot more about my awesome HMC150. Still a ton to learn but this expedites the process quite a bit.

Barry rocks the mic! :beer:
 
Money Well Spent

Money Well Spent

Barry's book does an excellent job of explaining the technical details in a "real world", practical manner (like explaining the pros and cons of using the various settings - and also explaining what something "appears to do" rather than just a dry technical description of what it actually does).

I just got my copy, started working through it last night. I already like it so much that I was inspired to finally stop lurking and register so that I could sing its praises! (And I haven't even had time to play with the Scene File settings yet...)

Yep. Just get it. It is a good add on to the manual, though he doesn't overlap the manual much. I've read it cover to cover in the last month. Refer to it frequently. Just do it. (barry, is the check in the mail yet?) (G).
 
The user manual tells you 'most' of what you 'need' to know. Barry's books tells you the rest and more.
