Customer Reviews
A good reference book
This book gives a good overview of the G10 in a more readable fashion than the owner's manual. Plus, being a larger publication, text and illustrations are easier to read. There are also numerous color photos demonstrating the camera's capabilities. I'd been using my G10 for two months before purchasing this guide, but still found useful information in it. The most helpful being the explanation of the various autofocus modes and settings -- features that are confusing to even experienced photographers. This guide would be a better choice to carry as a reference while traveling, as its more rugged construction will hold up better than the flimsy pages of the Canon manual.
Better than expected
I gave this guide 5 stars because I found it to be a godsend. I'm very new to digital photography and bought my G10 a couple of months ago. I found the Canon manual very difficult and uninspiring. I then ordered this new G10 guide by Jason Schneider. When it arrived I felt like I was delivered from techie hell. It gives me an appreciation for the truly outstanding camera I blew my budget for. The approach is rational, the information is accurate, and the experience of reading this guide is pleasant. I brought this manual on a recent vacation and learned as I snapped away. I would encourage anyone to order this book as the first accessory for their Canon G10.
Essential for new owners of Canon G10
While all of the necessary information about operating the G10 is in the compact instruction manual, the manual is dense to read and assumes a general knowledge of the Canon G series. The Magic Lantern guides present the information in a much easy to understand manner as well as giving advice. If only this had been available when I purchase my G10, thelearning curve would have been much flatter. Highly recommended for new owners of Canon G series.
