I'm very impressed by what the book covers. It extensively covers the technologies that digital cameras use. Everything from the sensor to the lens, and then discusses things like color spaces, sampling rates, aspect ratios etc. The the last half of the book is devoted to camera setup, workflows, and displays (monitors) and recorders. There's also mini sections on specific info about many of the pro/prosumer cameras (as of ~2013).There's certainly some good (even great) info in this book. I especially enjoyed the section on lenses and camera setup/operation. What I really didn't like was the first half of the book, for me it was painful to slog through that info because of how it was presented, and that was information that I was actually very interested in. For me though, and let me preface this by saying that I have an engineering degree and have had lots of college level math and physics, I would have much preferred much fewer equations and graphs and charts and theorems, and history., and much more qualitative discussion about achieving various results, anecdotes about in-the-field situations etc. But judging by the other reviews, I may be in the minority with that opinion, which is fine.

Much like Alexis Van Hurkman's book, Color Correction Handbook: Professional Techniques for Video and Cinema (2nd Edition) (Digital Video & Audio Editing Courses) has become the defacto standard in reference for digital color grading, I predict this book will become the defacto standard for Cinematographers seeking in-depth information on the fundamentals behind digital cinema image capture. David Stump takes great pains to delve into all aspects of how digital sensors work, the math behind image capture, the complexities of various imaging color spaces, current digital camera systems and a plethora of other issues germane to the subject, but conveys it in a easy-going, informative manner. I especially appreciate how he reaches back into the History of Cinema Production to tie the current technology to the past; showing that while there are revolutionary aspects to digital production, it in the end is a continuation of the process of moving image production evolution, and is yet another tool in the arsenal for moving image production, rather an an island onto itself. While targeted specifically at cinematographers, this book should not be overlooked by any member of the image production chain. The comprehensive information contained within is valuable to anyone who wishes to understand digital image production from start to finish and should be on the shelf of any DIT, Editor, Colorist or person with a need to understand the underlying mechanisms that are used to create a digital moving image. Highly recommended.

More a collection of notes than a 'book', by which we usually mean some kind of unified presentation of information in a digestible format. There is use and value here, but I'm really not sure who the audience is. If you're trying to learn and get better, this is little more than a reference work, and you'll have to do a major amount of research elsewhere to understand any of it. Lots of space taken up with random stuff with captions like "More math!" and no explanation of that math, or what it might be for, much less how to use it. If you are already an expert, and a working cinematographer, again I'm not sure you need this. All leading to my conclusion that this book really doesn't serve anyone well. Be prepared to put in a lot of study, and realize that much of this content has no value, and what does is better explained in any number of (often free) other locations.

Lot's of detailed reference material. Very good to have in a technical library.

I met David Stump at the "Global Cinematography Institute" this year, 2015, he teaches a class there, great instructor! If you cannot take the class with him, buy the book, it's excellent and very comprehensive.

A completely thorough investigation of digital cinema filled with information about every format and methodology. I highly recommend this book.

A comprehensive look at the digital world of cameras and their senors. Great way to get oriented the the many details and terms used in defining this image acquisition system.

Every digi shooters guide to really understanding this media! You can't fully exploit without knowledge. Thank you David Stump !!!
