There is no magic camera . It is, no matter how many sophisticated settings, a box that records a moment in time.
If you have nothing to convey, all the electronic settings are useless,all you have is an expensive box.
It is not the camera but the person in back of the camera that makes the difference.

Couldn't agree more. Some on my favorite photos of the last year were shot with my iPhone SE. >Alan

This is a great wrap up of learning how photography works.Great post.
A young lady that was singled out for her imagery was interviewed about meeting some photo students.This was in a trade publication. And was asked about how to work.
She repled JUST SHOOT.
Shoot in automatic 100s of frames see what you and the camera do.
Then put the camera in manual and work on your settings and what you are shooting.
We now have cameras that preview what the shot will look like in the evf and LED.
Experiment if it is action be shutter wise. Look at depth of field and refocus the options.
What kind of color and exposure do you like? Proper exposure is the look you want
Not where the needle is.

That is a lot of reading! 63 pages?
I was working on it in my spare time for over a week and I'm not even a half way through! (not enough spare time)
Then I have to read it all again... But I'll do it if it's worth it!

Brainless snapping away is not the answer . Of course by the law of averages you
will accidentally just by snapping away get an image or two that will be of interest .
The camera does nothing .

"Brainless snapping" aways is a per choice of response to trying your camera out and seeing
what it is doing. Quite frankly I have never read a manufacturers manual that was that useful.
My granddaughter was very young and she grabbed a point-and-shoot and starting shooting
around our house. She was shooting graphics closeups of some of art and asian furniture.
I went through them and thought their was thought process in some of the images and
they were pleasing to look at.
I think that some knowledge of the technical aspect of cameras and controls is good of course.
I will tell you how I approach projects. I was in marketing for years so I had a rudimentary understanding
of video/stills production. Now I shoot and edit. My first edit I loaded the video into Final Cut Pro.
Starting building a time line and used my creative instincts to make a different approach to a triathlon
event. As I went along I had one of those very visual concise books and looked up what I didn't know
how to do technically. I now have 50 videos online and have been hired again to shoot these sporting
events. Yes my experience with Mac and Photoshop etc was a help.
The best learning is youtube. Their are outstanding photographers and videographers who take the time
explain the important parts of the process on your camera and the real things that work and don't.
Did you ever see someone learn how to ride a bike with a book???

What's your point besides confusing apples with oranges
