Customer Reviews

G Flood
Book is very easy to read and makes learning the capabilities of the camera easy.

Good Read for New DSLR owners.
Anyone who has purchased a Canon XTi will know that the literature that came with your camera does not go into any great detail about all of the features the camera has to offer. This book, will help clear up any questions, and does do a fair job of explaining some of the advanced features to you. While it is not all encompassing, it is better then what comes with the camera. This is a very good book for those moving from a point and shoot camera to the XTi.

Good bang for your buck.
For DSL novices (that'd be me) this book is a real fair price for what it contains. It's specific to the Rebel XTi 400D and I definitely recommend this manual to go with your camera. You'll get a nice manual with your camera too but Lowries' got allot of color photo's, her book is larger and easier to fold open and read. It's written for the lay person. Again, a good bang for your buck.
