I'd shy away from his book for the same reason. Steve Mullen is almost like a guru's guru. Most of what he says is over my head. I looked at his site in the hopes of seeing some exerpts to assess its userfriendliness.

Steve, I'd love to read the book. Always looking to learn more but your order link is kaputski. Where can it be found other than on the link provided.

Yes, the ORDER link is broken, but further down the page is a link that works.

For those who want to leap right into the HD100, simply skip the first 4 Chapters. However, the Chapter 4 on CCDs provides good information on exposure issues using cameras with small (1/3-inch) CCDs.

I just downloaded the JVC HD100 guide by Steve Mullen as I am getting the camera within a week. It is very in depth and it appears to be awesome.

I am learning a lot already, but this is not a one time read, and it is quite long. It seems to already be worth the money.

Great job on the book Steve, thanks.

I saw a paper version of the book at Walmart Online - is it the *same* version, but printed on paper?

Personally - I find paperback more convenient than PDF...

I was originally working with a publisher who assigned an ISDN number -- and then was bought by another giant company. :(

I decided to self publish rather than deal with a company who's people were in the process of being layed-off.

I too prefer books, but it's getting more and more expensive to print and ship.

thanks steve - thats what I wanted to hear - if there is no paperback coming in the next few months, then I'd prolly get the PDF -

After reading through it, I can't tell you how much I will enjoy having your book around. It's so complete in explaining the many areas of basic image acquisition through comnpression and transmission with which everyone should be familiar that it'll serve as a great educational tool. And its specificity to the GY 100HD makes it an indespensible tool for the owner serving to fill in the holes left by the JVC owner's manual.
Thank you for your comprehensive work.

Book formats and price?
 

Hi-
I went to order the book through Steve's link and it's 39.95 for PDF and then about $15-20 to print it at copy places, so about $60.00 total printed.

But someone gave a link for a paperback editionm (I assume that means ALREADY printed) for about $25.00.

Ok- am I missing something or is 2+2 really equal to 5 today :-) ?

THANKS,

David
