I wish I could comment without rating the book. My problem is, I wanted a primer on digital cameras, and I thought this was one. It’s not, of course; it’s about SLRs, whatever those may be. For a primer on digital cameras, I recommend the Quick Snap Guide to Digital Photography.

I recently bought a Canon Rebel XSi and bought this book, hoping it would make life easier. It doesn’t! I am new to the dSLR world, but this book spends about 3 chapters telling you why a dSLR is better than a point and shoot. Way too much nonsense info. I did not find this book useful for someone who wants to better understand hwo to get good shots from their camera. If you are a Rebel XSi user, I recently purchased a 3-hour XSi specific training DVD put out by Michael Andrews a professional photographer. It’s very good. I believe the site is canonrebelxsidvd dot com.

TO much comparing point and shoot cameras to SLR. That was not what I bought it for. His other book on Nikons
D5000 is all I needed. I wasted my money on this one.

It’s an okay book but I’m disappointed at lack of usable content. I’m willing to bet that the idiots guide to digital slr cameras would be more informative. Skip this one, you’ll be glad you did.
