A great book for a beginning digital photographer

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2007

Verified Purchase

This book is well written, especially for a beginning photographer such as myself. Well stated review of the photographic essentials, lots of good recommendations concerning lenses, styles, settings, and a fairly complete list of all of the "knobs" that are available in the Digital Rebel. The last chapter has a lot of great examples and experiments that are fun to attempt. After reading this book, I keep it in my camera bag for reference, and have been having a lot of fun shooting volleyball and football games for my kids, as well as trying my hand at some more "artistic" styles of photography and having some mild successes after only having the camera for 3 weeks. Spent one evening with a half full glass of wine, and a lamp, shooting low light shots, and trying all of the applicable "knobs". Very informative, and gave me lots of good ideas for utilizing the camera's capabilities.

A huge help!

I ordered this book because this was my first digital camera since they first came out with digital cameras and a lot has changed since then! This book was awesome. The only thing I used the manufacturer's user manual for was to attach the lense and that's only because the book said to. This is the only thing I've used to learn how to operate my camera and I love it! The explanations start out technical but then the author breaks everything down into easily understandable directions. I would recommend this book to anyone who might need a little help with operating their camera and wants to learn more about the art of photography. A must have!

A generally good guide

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2007

Verified Purchase

This book is a blend of specific info on the Canon Rebel XTi (about 40%)and general photography (about 60%). It is generally well written and clear, but does have some odd oversights (e.g., on one page it mentions JPEG photo files as being "lossy" without explaining the term, and most people have no clue, but then later on the same page explains non-lossy under a different type of file). Once in a while, the author inserts a little humor and vitality, usually via parenthetical remarks, which I enjoyed, more would be better. The book is useful for explaining how to use the XTi and its features, but it's more about general technique. For someone new to digital photography or digital SLRs, it would be very useful. I would recommend it to people who are moderately experienced amateurs. Pure beginners might find it handy but a little confusing, while advanced would find it interesting but a bit old hat and less helpful.

Canon camera features revealed in color !

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2008

Verified Purchase

This 263-page handbook is far more useful than the small manual that is delivered with the camera. The features of the camera are described in a logical fashion to guide either the neophyte or a more experienced photographer into a full understanding of the myriad capabilities of the very popular digital SLR.

The first section, Quick Tour, allows you the satisfaction of taking pictures immediately. Then Chapter 1 explores each of the controls and displays. Chapter 2 describes the use of each of the manual and automatic photography modes.

The remaining chapters guide you through making good photos, including exposure, ISO, depth of field, color, light, lens choice, composition basics, and techniques for great photos. The final section covers downloading and editing images.

The book is well laid out with many charts, tables and color illustrations. Appendixes and a comprehensive index allow you to find answers to your questions quickly.

Whether you start at the beginning and work your way through methodically or just pick it up and look for guidance on a particular topic, you're going to learn something every time you refer to the book. Well worth the small investment to unlock the potential of your highly capable Canon SLR.

Just what the doctor ordered

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2007

Let me start out by saying that I'm very new to Digital SLR photography. I'm not new to digital photography though, I've been using a nice little Fujifilm S3000 for several years now but I yearned for a camera that would let me take more control of the process (and I hated "lag time"). After long and careful consideration, I chose the Rebel XTi. It's everything I hoped it would be but I realized right off the bat that the Magic Lantern DVD I purchased with the camera wasn't going to get me where I needed to be. Sure, it showed me where the controls were and how to use them but I needed more of the basics. The narrator of the DVD explained right away that he took it for granted that I already understood exposure, metering,ISO etc -- I'm almost ashamed to say that I took a college level photojournalism course a couple of years ago and aced it using my S3000. Unfortunately, I failed to retain the skills I could now be applying because of my old camera's limitations. Although the Fujifilm met the minimum requirements for the course, I just didn't have enough manual control. Some of our assignments required us to use the different settings but my camera just wouldn't do very many of them -- like adjusting the aforementioned ISO. I wish I'd had the Rebel XTi at the time...I probably wouldn't be in such dire straights.

Anyway, my Guide came two days ago and I've increased my knowledge 200%. I still have a long way to go but just from thumbing ahead through the Guide, I can tell that I'm on the way to understanding and implementing the great features of the Rebel XTi. I also bought Digital SLRs for Dummies and actually started reading it first. I soon realized it wasn't going to jump start me like the Guide has. First of all, it was very generic. It may still be of value but for the place in time that I am now, the Guide is the book for me. The DSLR for Dummies takes an approach similar to the Guide but the Guide is written specifically for my DSLR. When it shows you pictures, it shows you the settings that were used to obtain the shots. Many times it gives multiples of the same scene using different settings and explaining why they turned out the way they did. So, is it for somebody that knows everything about DSLRs and photography? Probably not, but for someone like myself, it's invaluable.

Oh, I understand the rule of thirds very well thank you...
