About the Author

With more than 2.5 million books in print, David D. Busch is the world’s #1 bestselling camera guide author, and the originator of popular series like David Busch’s Compact Field Guides and David Busch’s Quick Snap Guides. He has written more than 100 hugely successful guidebooks for Canon and other digital camera models, including the all-time #1 bestsellers for several different cameras, as well as many popular books devoted to photography, including Digital SLR Cameras and Photography for Dummies. As a roving photojournalist for more than 20 years, he illustrated his books, magazine articles, and newspaper reports with award-winning images. He’s operated his own commercial studio, suffocated in formal dress while shooting weddings, and shot sports for a daily newspaper and an upstate New York college. His photos and articles have appeared in Popular Photography, Rangefinder, Professional Photographer, and hundreds of other publications. He’s also reviewed dozens of digital cameras for CNet and other CBS publications.

When About.com first named its top five books on Beginning Digital Photography, debuting at the #1 and #2 slots were Busch’s Digital Photography All-In-One Desk Reference for Dummies and Mastering Digital Photography. He has had as many as 18 books listed in the Top 100 of Amazon.com’s Digital Photography Bestseller list—simultaneously! Busch’s 250-plus other books published since 1983 include bestsellers like Mastering Digital SLR Photography.
