A very useful guide [Posted on 2008-04-02]
I have found this book to be very useful. My knowledge of photography is minimal, so I bought the S5 knowing that I have a lot to learn about manually controlling the camera settings, etc. This book does a great job of explaining not only how to set the camera to do what you want, but also how the different settings will affect the photos (aperture affecting depth of field, different ways of capturing motion, etc.). There are explanations about how to do something and what the result will be, then a handy "quick steps" section that summarizes the process. The only downside is that it would be better if the pictures in the book were in color, but that doesn't really detract from the how-to information.
Great Book, easy to understand [Posted on 2008-04-12]
I would have been lost without this book..This book will help you become a Pro in no time. The instructions that come with the camera are not good at all. You need this book.
S5 IS short course review [Posted on 2008-05-25]
really terrific guide for the s5 is.
i replaced my two S1 IS's just recently with a S5 IS, so i've got a fair amount of experience with this type of camera. but this short course was worth ever penny.
the short course covered quite a few topics that were in the camera manuals, but in a easier to grasp manner. i particularly liked the sections on manual focus, macro and super macro.
(i virtually never used these on the S1 IS since the camera manual explanations were a bit dense and hard to follow)
the spiral bound copy was great since i spent a good bit of a plane flight to a destination
reading the text and then practicing on the camera.
the included cd-rom has all the same text, but colour pictures and web links to animation
explaining some of the photographic concepts.
i think that both budding photographers and experienced shooters new to this camera will find this short course useful.
Great coverage of the S5 features [Posted on 2008-06-12]
If you've purchased the camera, now you can learn how to effectively use it. Dennis Curtin's book explains how to use the many features of the S5 IS in a way that your owners manual could never do! I am very glad I purchased it.
Excelent [Posted on 2008-10-18]
Easy to read and understand. Excellent step by step explanations. Not only for the use of the Canon s5 but to learn about photography.
