Busch is a best-selling author of books on digital photography and imaging technology, and the originator of popular series like "David Busch's Pro Secrets" and "David Busch's Quick Snap Guides."

September 26, 2009: I now own three of David Busch's books and all are just wonderful. If he has written about your camera and you want to know more about that camera, you simply can not go wrong with a book penned by David Busch.
His verbal detail is clear but he includes visuals that almost makes reading unnecessary.Though camera specific, this book has helped me to overcome photographic obstacles that are "built in," if you will, to this particular camera.He goes well beyond the camera in terms of helping one learn more about lighting and color. His guidance covers needs of photographers at all levels of mastery.David Busch is photographers' gift.
