Was very happy to see this product, perfect for my new camera. I was looking to make the leap from Point and shoot to a "real" digital camera and this book made me want to immediately go outside and take some shots.

Very easy to follow.

I bought my first DSLR – Rebel XT awhile back (July 2007). IT has so many features I was just getting lost in the menus. This book explains all the features that a starting DSLR user would ever want to know. The first thing I looked up was continuous shooting (didn’t know how to set that) – the book was VERY clear and gave several helpful pointers. Definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about your Rebel XT.

The book is made out of durable heavy paper – a big plus for me because I will be taking this everywhere. You definitely get your money’s worth here!

Really does a nice job of explaining all the features of the camera.
Part of the book covers the same info as the Canon owners' manual, but with much expanded detail (and you don't need a magnifying glass to read it!). Where the author explains each setting/menu option it has a nice BIG photo showing the button or camera display. Where there are different options, the author explains the purpose of each setting and why you might want to select it.
The book contains lots of color photos. Included is a decent discussion of accessories (flash, lenses, hoods, software, etc.
The book is printed on nice quality paper, with plenty of room in the right-hand margin for your own notes.
I paid a lot for the camera, might as well learn how to use all the features I paid for!
