 Invaluable Tool July 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I don't use my camera enough to be able to remember how to do "x". or how to do "y," so good instructions that allow to quickly find how to do something with my camera are valuable to me, particularly when I need it for my business. I find the "Field Guide" invaluable.
One day I needed to shoot a client's tour for a VIP, and had 30 minutes to have lunch AND learn to shoot under the particular tour conditions. Over lunch, I quickly learned what settings to use, and even had time to spare to refresh my memory on other camera functions! And the proof was in the pudding - my photos even made me look like a decent photographer!
What more could I ask for?
This guide always comes with me when I use my camera.
 Useful for some purposes, but I'd give it a miss July 10, 2008

If you are completely new to photography (apart from point and shoot, that is) and you own a 400D, this book should make a fairly good starting point. If, however, you already know something about photography, and you're buying this because you now have a 400D, look elsewhere.
In fact, I think you would be much better off reading the camera's manual together with a book like Understanding Exposure in both cases. This book contains few details about the 400D, and is mostly about the very basics of photography (and it doesn't do a spectacular job to that end either).
The mother lode of the book is Chapter 7, "Techniques for Great Photos", and it comprises 51% of the book's pages. These 100 pages are mostly fluff however, with embarrassingly little substance. It adds almost no value for the reader.
Essential Reading July 1, 2008

Charlotte K. Lowrie's Field Guide for the Canon XTi now travels in my camera bag wherever I go. It is an easily accesible introductory guide to the world of digital photography with a DSLR.
I found the Canon manuals that came with my camera to be technical in their approach - but the Field Guide takes you by the hand and explains it all like a patient mentor.
I am new to this. But thanks to this book, I am no longer confused or frustrated by the many controls and options on my new camera. The highest praise I can give this book is that after reading it, I am having more fun with my camera and I am taking much better photographs.
A Definite Buy for New Canon Rebel Owners June 25, 2008

As a new Canon Rebel camera owner, Charlotte K. Lowrie's Digital Rebel guide was the best $14 and change I've ever spent on a book. Her clear concise explanations, helpful charts and photo illustrations, as well as the excellent organization and layout of the book, make this guide a must buy for new owners. I would have been lost without it!
 Plagerized Canon manual + photos (not always good) June 6, 2008

This book is not inspiring - some of the photos are absolutely terrible (just look at the flash photography section) - AND is word-for-word the Canon manual that comes with the camera. Does Canon know about this???
