Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Covers much of the same ground as the small 550D user manual supplied with the camera. However, this is done in a much more usable format (6"x9" and some 280 pages long) and with lots of explanations as to the purpose of and how one would use the various controls and options provided by the camera.
There are lots of colour photographs throughout to illustrate the comments within the text. There are also several very useful chapters on photographic techniques, for example Exposure and Composition.
The font used is clear and readable, 11 or 12 point, and the book is not too heavy to hold for reasonable periods of time. There is a comprehensive index at the back, so all in all a worthwhile buy to accompany the camera in my opinion. Recommended.

Format:Paperback
The book describes the various options for the camera's many settings in great detail and gives good examples of the effects that each setting can offer as well as excellent general advice about digital photography techniques. It is full of example photographs to illustrate the the effects. I would rate this book as the best I've read so far for the EOS 550D.

This book is a must have for anyone with a EOS 550D. A basic guide written in layman terms with pictures to follow dedicated specifically to the EOS550D.
