Mark Haar

Very thorough, very detailed, not just for Fujifilm users but for any who are new to digital photography or require more of the theory behind it. The quizzes at the end are great for validation.

Joanne Gordin

I highly recommend this course. I didn’t know much about cameras when I began, but by the time the course was finished, I had a working knowledge of my camera. I liked working at my own pace and enjoyed the different ways the material was presented. The exams created the motivation to learn the material, and the assignments added the important layer of “hands on“ learning. It was a great learning experience.

Michelle Friars

This is an excellent course. John's explanations are easy to understand and provide a solid foundation of information. The opportunity to submit assignments for each module provided a great way to gain practical experience with the concepts. In short, I highly recommend Fujifilm Camera Fundamentals. It's had a major positive impact on both my understanding and my work.
