Better Then Manufacturer's Manual [Posted on 2008-01-04]
I agree with other reviews that suggest this book is better then the manufacturer's manual, but I think it depends on who is reading it. It is written with the assumption that you know how to use an SLR and you understand all of the features and lingo of the SLR world. All of the sample pictures in it are almost worthless as they are in black and white. I suppose color pictures would have added cost, but I think it would have been worth it. That said, I think it is an excellent choice for a film SLR user making the transition to DSLR. For those of us making the transition from a P&S to the SLR, well it really isn't all that much better then the manual that comes with the camera. I sure wish it was.
Nothing special [Posted on 2008-05-21]
I read this book expecting something special and beyond the User's Guide or Manual that comes with the camera. I found very light (not deept) cover in each aspect that is included - most of the information that comes in this book you can find in the web (free) and in some cases with better presentation and coverage. Sorry but it's not a Guide but just a booklet.
Good book that supplements the owners manual [Posted on 2008-06-05]
This is one of those books that go into detail about how to use the camera to its physical potential. It helps decipher some of the cryptic owner's manual info, but at the same time leaves some questions unanswered.
This book will certainly help you understand what your camera is capable of, and help you navigate the menus and find out what settings are for what.
What it won't do is replace the owner's manual, or teach you anything about the art of photography itself. I would recommend this to people new to DSLR's in general, but people who have been using one for some time outside of "auto mode", and actually understand what aperture and shutter means to a photo will probably benefit less.
There are of course some hidden gems for even the DSLR savvy. Each camera may have it's own perks, or shortcomings and these guides tend to point them out for you.
Pretty well written [Posted on 2008-07-21]
I'm still reading it, but it seems to be pretty well written. It handles the most basic features of the camera, but advanced features are touched-on. I would recommend this book in addition to the user manual.
