The popularity of digital photography has made it accessible to
all. But the relentless advance of technology means many people
don't know how to approach buying a new digital camera, or how to
get the most from its features once the purchase has been made.
Digital Camera Know-How covers this and other aspects of digital
photography. It runs directly from the CD, which means no hard disk
space is needed, but the program won't run without the disc. Using
the program was very simple. Overall score ****
