What is the difference between the 8th and 9th edition of "Photography" by Barbara London?

Amazon has used copies of Barbara London's Photography 8th edition for $13 as opposed to the 9th edition for $79 (used) and $108 (new). Is it worth it to get the 9th edition. I'm not sure how much has been updated in the new edition.

I'm a beginner and heard this was a great book to get.

I forgot which version of the book I have, but I loved that book as a survey of all aspects of photography. I can only imagine the new edition has updated information on digital cameras. If you're taking a photo class that specifically requires 9th edition, it might be helpful to spend the extra cash to follow the instructor.

But, if you're learning on your own, all you have to know is the basic principles of photography such as lighting, exposure, depth of field, etc - which this book provides. Remember, digital photography did not start from scratch, but and evolution on analog photography, so operation, principles, and concepts are the same.

And if you're just starting out in photography, get this book. Then, when you want to sharpen your Photoshop skills, get a dedicated book on Photoshop.
