Summary: "Almost as good as a personal tutor!"...
Rating: 5
Unlike other similar books, this one, I'm actually reading page by page. Why?....because of the way the author
has written it, and by that I mean I CAN UNDERSTAND IT!... and after reading a page, I know that I've learned
something quite necessary about this camera.
What I do is, I HIGHLIGHT various KEY WORDS with a highlighter pen and that I find very
important for my learning process, especially when I want to go back and refer to the book
about something...
So, I'm still in the process of reading the book and I even look forward to that, knowing
that I can read, and LEARN stuff about this wonderful Canon T1i camera!...
Just buy the book, and I really don't think you'll be sorry you did!..
Summary: Great book, but not as funny as other "Dummies" books
Rating: 4
This is a great book for anyone who owns a Canon Rebel T1i/500D, especially if this is your first DSLR. I just bought my T1i at the beginning of June. The manual, while good, left me confused in a number of ways. This book gave me the info I needed, along with some great pictorial examples, to really let me learn to use my camera. While I doubt I will ever be able to use everything the author taught, I will start to use a lot of the advanced features that I might otherwise have put off using. I am already playing with the aperture settings and changing the ISO.
My only complaint is that this book is not as funny as the other books in the "Dummies" series. I have gotten used to a certain level of humor that just was not present more than a couple of times. The cartoons were funny, but there were fewer of them than there used to be. I can remember when every chapter of the book had a cartoon. (Ah well.)
Over all this was a great book. I read it cover to cover and I finished it yesterday. It is well worth the money for anyone who wants to really learn to use their T1i. By the way, I highly suggest having the camera with you when you read the book. It is great to be able to read about a feature and then snap some pictures and see how it works in your own hands.
