I wish this DVD were indexed and edited, which would cut it to less than half. The lesson is decent as you have a chance to watch the author go through the setup process. He mentions a lot of technical terms (depth of field, exposure compensation, etc.) without explaining how they relate to his photography. I'm happy that pictures were interspersed so that we have some idea of what he is photographing, but a book such as that by John Shaw is a better lesson.
