Thank you I am very good at photography, but this class has helped me with shooting with manual mode.

I'm new to photography and reading the manual front to back had me lost. This course was great and was hands-on. I feel like I can access many things in my camera now.

I recently switched over from a full frame Nikon camera because of camera weight. I love my A6300, but really didn’t know all its capabilities until I took this course. John is extremely knowledgeable and the course is well presented and I learned a lot. My husband probably got tired of me coming in and showing him what new thing I had just learned. Highly recommend this class, even if you’re an experienced photographer.

I've learned a lot from this excellent class. Unfortunately, the Fast Start PDF has pixelated unreadable inserts. Someone should have proofread it.

This was so much better than having to read a manual that often times is not helpful in terms of pointing out tips on when would be the best time times to use a particular function. Love the graphics, the recommendations provided for both new and advanced users and mostly I love the fact that I can go back and watch different segments as I get more use to shooting with this camera. Great Course and I'm really glad I bought it! Thanks John!

I'm still working my way through the lessons, trying out everything as I go. I like how John shows everything with great visuals and demos. Also like that he explains when to use the various options available on the camera. Really great! Thanks!

I enjoyed watching this class. I have a Sony A6000, and watched this mainly to see if I wanted to upgrade to the A6300, and the class helped me make up my mind. John is a very good instructor, clear and concise, I will watch more of his classes.

I wanted to learn more about using my SONY. I was not disappointed in this fast-start class on how to use this camera. Jon is a great teacher. He answered my question about photo problems. He also had some great graphics that reinforced what he was teaching. TY! Rosa
