Review: Very dated, and not worth full price.

Just like the rest of his books, there's some really good info that every photographer should know. But as always the info is very dated. For example he recomends not buying any strobes until you can afford the best of the best and potentially spending thousands. While in reality you can get hotshoe flashes with slave functions(which I don't think he even mentioned)for less than $40, at that price they're practically despossible, and can produce amazing results. Plus the amount of manufacturers that offer affordable high quality studio strobes is growing(alien bees for example, maybe even PBL). Also the amount of time he talks about film cameras is way too much. I know film is still produced and used but the newcomers who would likely read this stuff are 99% digital users, seems like he should have a seperate book for film. If he wants to sell more books he needs to update, It wouldn't be hard.
