        DIGITAL CAMERA CRASH COURSE
Introducing  the
Your First Digital Camera audio workshop

The ultimate audio workshop for anyone buying or getting started with a digital camera

Your First Digital Camera is a comprehensive 4-CD audio workshop (also available on MP3 for immediate download) that will help you understand digital cameras. If you're thinking about moving from film to digital, if you're curious what really makes a digital camera tick, if you're confused by all the terms, buzzwords, and hype, or if you're looking to buy a camera and want to become a very informed consumer, this audio workshop is perfect for you.

Listen to some sample clips

It's all in the Your First Digital Camera audio workshop, your best resource for getting the most out of your digital camera. Your First Digital Camera is the first in our series of audio workshops. Each audio workshop takes a given topic, like understanding digital cameras, and combines all the information you need in one fun, entertaining, and incredibly informative audio program.

Not sure what camera to get as a gift? Want to save a few bucks?
Give Your First Digital Camera instead of spending on that camera.


We got started working on the Your First Digital Camera audio workshop when we found out just how confused our magazine readers were about digital cameras. After one short article, we got, quite literally, hundreds of letters chock full of questions. Questions like:
  • What camera should I buy?
  • What's a megapixel?
  • Should I print my pictures at home or use a service bureau?
  • Which memory card format is the best?
  • How does a digital camera differ from film?
  • Are those under-$100 cameras any good?
  • What will it really cost me to get a digital camera?
  • My spouse/child/friend wants a digital camera; what should I get?
  • What do all these terms mean?
  • Can I buy a camera from a mail order house or on the Internet?
  • What camera features are important for selling items on eBay?
The more articles we ran, the more it became clear that there was a need for a comprehensive course in what, exactly, a digital camera is, what it can and can't do, and guidance in how to purchase the right one. Rather than providing a set of reviews for cameras that change each week, we decided to create a program to help you truly understand digital cameras, how they work, the tradeoffs involved in any purchase, and how to get the most productivity and enjoyment out of them.

If you want to sell items on eBay, this program will help you understand just what you need for digital image success.

The Your First Digital Camera audio workshop is presented by ZATZ co-founder and Connected Photographer Magazine Editor-in-Chief David Gewirtz, himself an accomplished photographic artist.

A fun and engaging speaker, David takes you on a tour of the camera, first exploring the individual components that make up a digital camera, then helping you understand how your camera choice will determine the sorts of pictures you can produce, walking you gently through component after component, camera subsystem after camera subsystem, stopping to explain the tougher concepts using his unique mix of humor and exceptional teaching skills.

Without a doubt, after listening to this program, you will be far better informed about digital cameras than almost any camera salesperson.

20 chapters, and a whole lot of fun
David's love of photography is evident in this program, and it's clear after just a few minutes that this former professor is an accomplished teacher as well. Concepts that may have baffled or bamboozled you in the past are presented clearly, step-by-step, one concept at a time. Maybe if the camera salespeople in the local stores listened to this workshop, you'd have a better chance of understanding them as well!
