2.0 out of 5 stars A mediocre and misleading guide, 27 Mar 2007
By Geoff (England) - See all my reviews
At around £9 it is not bad value for money; I just expected more. The book is of little, if any, use to an experienced photographer and I think it will confuse beginners. [I had better explain who I am - a middle aged, amateur photographer, who started with 35mm SLRs, progressed to digital cameras and have now got my first Digital SLR, the 400D]. In places, the book is confusing and incorrect and even annoying to read; which I can illustrate with three examples near the beginning.
(Example 1) In the Quick Tour (pp1-10) there are four good illustrations, except that two are of small details that a beginner will not know where they are on the camera. It is not until pp14-16 of Chapter 1 that the whole camera is illustrated; but even here the back view, which has all the important buttons, is only half a page wide and too small to show what is written beside the buttons.
(Example 2) The Quick Tour (p5) states that "Program AE ... is a fully automatic, but shiftable mode. Shiftable means that you can CHANGE THE EXPOSURE [my capitals] by changing (or shifting) either the shutter speed or apperture ...". This is rubbish! You cannot change the exposure this way - turning the main dial changes both the shutter speed and the apperture together (not either/or) so that the exposure remains fixed. The Glossary (p246) does give the correct definition of exposure.
(Example 3) The first paragraph about white-balance bracketing (p26) states that "White-balance bracketing captures three images, each with +/-3 one-stop differences in colour ..."; the explanation in the Camera's Instruction Manual is much easier to understand. All in all, a disappointing book that I would not recommend to anyone who was not already familiar with the main concepts of digital cameras; in which case they would not really need this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but complex, 20 April 2008
By Cherie Davis (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A good guide, but very complex and quite hard to understand. Does go through all areas of the camera thoroughly though.

2.0 out of 5 stars Shame about the photography?, 12 Jun 2008
After only a quick glance at this book - it looks like it's generally well set out and should explain all about the Canon 400D and how to use it, but the standard of the photos is really poor - I don't think I've seen a photography book with such lousy photos in it? They may in some cases trying to give an example of a particular method - but a complete novice could surely have done a better job?

I did wonder, for a moment, if the photos in the book were all a examples of how NOT to take photos - Yes.. that had to be it???

At least it made me feel good about the standard of my own photography!!!
