Customer Reviews

In-depth, straight foward reading...A must have!
If you have the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi/400D Digital Field Guide by Charlotte K. Lowrie, then you love this one even more. This book goes more into detail about the functions and techniques of the camera (XTi). It's definitely well worth the $13 for the knowledge you'll attain browsing through this book. The book's photos are in black and white, but that's secondary next to the detailed instructions. It's also smaller than the field guide (sizewise, not pagewise), so it can be tucked away in your camerabag easily.

Best guide out there
Magic Lantern guides are all very good, but this one is better than most. I had a Canon XT and upgraded to an XTi (the next, slightly newer model). I also had the XT lantern guide so was hesitant to get the XTi version, thinking it might be a rehash.

While there were a few overlapping paragraphs, almost all of the content is entirely new and is specific to the XTi. There are things I can do with that camera that I didn't know existed. There are tips and tricks that make relatively complex tasks easier. I very highly recommend getting this book if you have the XTi. You'll be glad you did.

'The' Guide for Cannon EOS400D
Many years ago I purchased a 'Magic Lantern' guide for my then state-of-the-art Cannon EOS 35mm film camera, and was impressed. Hoping for the same sort of book-partner for my first digital camera - the Cannon EOS400D - I purchased the new 'Magic Lantern' guide, and was not disappointed...all the camera functions are explained in easy and simple language, from the basic right through to the advanced. I had the Cannon EOS400D, read the instruction manual - and still wondered what all the functions did ... this book answered all (yes, all) my questions.
