What others are saying about this and other ebooks by The Friedman Archives Press:
"The writing/organization of the book is excellent, the best aftermarket camera manual I’ve read. The language is surprisingly lithe, with just the right amount of explanation, not the usual attempt to explain the entire photographic process in reference to why various camera controls are included. I can’t say I look forward to curling up with a manual, but as a professional photographer I need to master my equipment. Mr Phillip’s book is as close as it gets to enjoying a read of this sort." - Osceola Refetoff
"I have finished skimming Tony's book and it was totally worth the investment and time...I so appreciate Tony putting things together and moving on a faster learning curve towards getting the camera mastered and out of the way." - David Yeiter
"I owned the x100 for a few years and upgraded to the x100s about 9 months ago. I was pretty familiar with the camera, and have many years of (amateur photographic) experience, but your Complete Guide to Fujifilm's X100s Camera has expanded my knowledge in many ways." - Paul Rogers
"As an ebook it's rather good, written with the more experienced hobbyist in mind and not just a re-write of the manual. For my money it's better than the other X100S book and is worth a read." - Nippa
"The
way your book takes the reader through the menus makes the material much easier
than the Owner's Manual and provides significantly more information.
I
learned a lot! I’ve now adopted your
Panorama technique, top-down & rotate camera 90 Degrees.
Didn’t know I could see the “blinkies” in replay to show lost detail in
the highlights & shadows."

Ron White
"Been glued to this book since morning. Unlike most other guides that
are more user manuals this one is pure insight to using the camera in
photographic situations." -

"So far, this guide looks OUTSTANDING.
I cannot believe you let this go for the price you do. It's incredible!"
-
Ferdinand Lucero Jr.
"I have to say that your book was the best manual i can remember reading on
any device. I think it is admirable how eager you are to share your
knowledge and help people develop their own process for acquiring knowledge.
It was a pleasant surprise to learn so much about photography in general from
what i was expecting was a camera manual."
- Steve Newman
"To anyone who is having second thoughts about paying
extra for color [printed version], I say "Stop thinking. Order it NOW!"
The additional money is well spent, and you only spend it once. I bought your
A700 book (no color) and wished I had gone for the upgrade. The difference is
unbelievable. What a great book. Thanks for writing it."
- Perry MaGill
"I
bought your book about three weeks ago and can only wish that more books were
written with the true love you have for the subject matter that is therewith
explained." - Mauro Jimenez
"Have started reading your book and I am very impressed! I really enjoy
your writing style which is both friendly and interesting whilst simultaneously
providing a great deal of technical information. Well done! "
- James Cox
"I want to say Thank You Very Much, not only for your personal assistance,
but also for writing such a cohesive and clear book spoken in an easy to
understand and implement manner. You pointers and insight with in depth
practical knowledge of the camera I'm using to start my career as a photographer
/ photo journalist has allowed me to vastly shorten my learning curve."
- Lee Shatto
"I want to tell you that, like countless others, I am a
big fan of your ebooks because of their plain language and conversational
approach to highly technical topics."
- David Drake
"Your book is a Godsend - I would've been completely lost with the manual."
- Dave Gerard
"I couldn't resist contacting you to express how THOROUGHLY delightful /
informative I'm finding your book. Outstanding! doesn't begin to cover it,
especially given the gentle humor scattered throughout to take the edge off of
the technicalities. I adore it when an author pays attention to, and
accommodates, the psychology of the reader."
- Pam Gaines
"GREAT JOB! Very, very, informative and written in a way anyone can
understand. This is the first book I have seen that explains things so
clearly and easily. This will help bring back the joy of taking pictures that I
lacked when I was struggling with the settings on my camera."
- Cesar Borges
"Your pictures are an inspiration for me to be as good as you. The Sony book
you wrote is excellent and I'll make sure other Alpha owners know it too!"
- Michael Rutkowski
"I've bought your book and I just HAVE to send you a personal email to tell
you how great that book is. Not only does it cover virtually everything about
the camera including everything the original manual left out, it covers
interesting and meaningful help about composition, lightning and using flashes.
And for the price it is offered at, it's nothing short of fantastic. It was and
will continue to be a great resource to me, many many thanks!"
-Kristian Tigersjäl, Sweden
"Right now I can just say one thing... Wow! Okay, two things... Great
book!"
- Scott Kramer
"Your insights are invaluable (and your level of service second to none)."
- Winston Llamas
"CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BOOK WHICH ON A SCALE OF 10 HAS TO BE AN 11."
- Jim Koregelos
"It is the ultimate users manual that no one owning one of those cameras should
be without. A small investment that pays great dividends!"
- Karl Scharf from dpreview.com
"Last night I finished reading your e-book and enjoyed it immensely. Thank
you so much for such an in-depth and to-the-point book loaded with information
you can really use. I will be sure to mention it highly on chat lines and other
locations I frequent."
- Barbara Lodge
"There is no way that I would have got to grips with it without your amazing
ebook. The amount of work that it must have taken to produce it I can't
imagine. Many thanks."
- Bob Johnston
"Thank
you so much for making this e-book! So clearly done in such a way that,
yes, I got some of those "Aha!" moments! I certainly will pass this on
wherever I can. You have just taken a big chunk of anxiety out of my
learning curve!"
-
Veronica
"Your book is excelent. Really detail, clear, useful... an EXCELENT guide."
- Kurt Marlow
"The contents of your book go beyond my expectations! I couldn't pull myself
away to tell you until I had finished reading more than 60 pages. Your book is
very clearly written, and your spiral approach to teaching will prove to be an
easy way of learning in depth the many topics you include. Thank you, again!"
- Janet Lustgarten
"I found your book to be indispensable. I love your books; your
tutorials are a godsend, and your work...omg...total inspiration."
- Charles Neinnger
"The manual that you have written is truly comprehensive and must have been
a monumental undertaking. [...T]he many tips on the various function settings
and especially the flash guide have shown me that there is more to this camera
than I thought at first."
- Bob Johnston
"I have to admit, it is a great guide. I couldn't stop myself from
finishing it last night, I didn't get to sleep because of it actually. The
amounts of insights, hints, tips and clues in every section covered every single
question I had in my mind since I bought my camera and opened a whole new
horizon for my photography. Thanks a lot for the enlightenment."
- Adham El Deeb (Egypt)
"I purchased and downloaded your guide earlier today. I took a few
minutes to look through it during lunch and I am blown away. The pages I
looked at contain incredible how to information, wonderful tips, and a wealth of
information about digital imaging generally. Thank you so much. I
can't wait to have more time with both your book and my camera."
- Avi Freund
"All this 'ol gent can say is: WOW! You make everything so utterly simple,
and the form of your writing keeps one totally interested. I am really
excited with what I have already learned about my one-year-old camera, in just
the first several pages of the book!"
- Ed Schwing
"I don't know how you do it, but your style of writing is so enjoyable,
friendly, and incredibly informative all at the same time. I read the
entire book from cover to cover in one sitting with the camera by my side the
whole time, and as I went through it, I started to realize that I finally
understood what all of the formerly cryptic numbers and symbols on the LCD meant
and it's such a great feeling! [...] I can't thank you enough for
getting me out of "Auto" mode!
- Stacey Jarasa
"Over the years I've read a ton of photo books and I have to say yours is
the most approachable and filled with the most usable tips and examples."
-
Mark Lynch
"I have read the manual several times, but didn't understand many of the
features. I want you to know that I understand MORE just by reading the first
100 pages of your book than by reading the manual over and over. Thanks
for writing a GREAT guide for this camera!"
-
Janet DeCristofaro
"I have your super e-book and I am highly impressed with the way you explain
things. You, my friend, are awesome with words!"
-
Allan Mann
"I must admit I was overwhelmed and intimidated by this powerful and
somewhat confusing camera. Having just finished your book, I am now confident
that my new friend and I have many exciting adventures ahead. And I know that
I'll be referring back to your book for many years to come. Thank you for
opening the world of photography to novices like me! I am a true-believer
and a loyal fan. BTW, even if your book wasn't about photography, I would
have enjoyed reading it. You're an excellent writer."
-
Everett Madden
"The book actually managed to make exploring all the camera options and knobs a
fun and rewarding experience - and that's quite an achievement in itself.
Additionally, the visual illustrations of the techniques and the teaching method
make it all more engaging and easy to follow. Definitely worth the money!"
-
Silverio F
"As a former teacher I know how hard it is to write something like "The
Friendly Manual". To do a piece of work like that you have to have the
gift. Many thanks!"
-Sten-Åke
Sändh
"I am delighted with the book which is written in a friendly style and the
subjects are clearly explained, the explanation of camera functions together
with the sample photographs are exactly what I was looking for. [...] My
photography has changed for the better since I applied the principles set out in
your book and my photographs do look different"
- Alfred Hopwood
"I never thought I'd find a 3rd-party manual. Yours is a gem."
-
