I rented the 3 DVD set. Out of the 3 DVD's, the one that I found most helpful was Vol 3 with Christopher Grey. While the whole set was somewhat informative, I wasn't overly impressed with Will Crockets teaching style (just my opinion).
Much of the material was related to obtaining the 'perfect' exposure for digital, to which I agree that exposure is one of the most important aspects of photography, but it seemed to repeat over and over.
There also seems to be alot of emphasis about shootsmarter.com and "Shoot Smarter University".
