It is now somewhat out-of-date with regard to equipment, and does not cover digital cameras at all.

De Couet and Green have done a tremendous work. Written in true textbook format, this is the perfect book for the intermediate and the advanced photographers. Beginners will like it as well but its sheer size might discourage inexperienced photographers. This is THE book any aspiring u/w photographer should have in his personal library.Jim Church's Nikonos System Handbook would be a comparable good choice for the beginners.A new edition is coming soon.
