"I'd just like to note that this book was first published not in the 1950s but in 1948. Also, it was the first of a series of five books (not a triad) the last two of which are now out of print, but are called "Natural-Light Photography" and "Artificial-Light Photography"."

"Ansel Adam's book, entitled, very simply, "The Camera," is about just that: the camera. However, it is perhaps the most readable, most in-depth exploration of the camera in its many forms I have ever seen. I have learned more over the course of about a week from this book than I did from months of formal classes. Ansel Adams is, if anything, thorough.
He covers, of course, the 35mm camera, perhaps the most popular type of camera on the market, but actually devotes the majority of his space to large format cameras, due both to his familiarity with the type and its complexity. As one who is moderately well-versed in the use of the 35mm camera, I found many of his comments very enlightening, particularly on the problems one can run into and what causes them - distortion, chromatic aberration, parallax, etc. He mentions how to fix them, but does not dwell on it - I believe he intends for the reader to learn from experience.
I only rated the book at 3 stars because, as helpful and informative as the book is, it is exceedingly dry. So dry that, at times, I had to stop reading it. I would look through the beautiful pictures in the book (many of them his own) and, refreshed, would be able to continue on. Rather than reading through the book, I felt I was slogging through it at times. So, if you are looking for an excellent resource in layman's terms, this is for you. If readability (that is to say, the good character of the writing) is an important factor, I'm not sure this is the best choice."

"The Camera wasn't an entirely unhelpful resource. There are many chapters devouted to what basically amounts to glorified list-making. A lot on hardware and scant little on technique. Really, I wanted more on technique than what's offered here. I should have known beforehand that the book, which was published originally in 1980, would be filled with page upon page of somewhat antiquated information from a practical standpoint. I am not going to be using many--if any--of the cameras or equipment mentioned in The Camera, but the information does have some value as a historical primer of sorts."
