A "must have" for the first time owner of a Rebel XT

While the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT comes with a thorough owner's guide that nicely fits in your camera case or pocket, this fantastic book serves as a great combination of an informative beginner's guide to digital SLR photography AND an excellent manual specific to the Rebel XT that goes way beyond the included owner's guide in both detail and quality. Unlike the owner's guide, this book is illustrated with large color photographs of the XT's specific features and menus, as well as actual photographs taken with the XT to demonstrate the results of various camera settings and techniques. Even if you are an experienced SLR photographer, but are new to the XT, this book will be a valuable addition to your professional library. Even if you are the owner of a different digital SLR, this book will serve as a good introduction to digital SLR photography; but, I warn you, it will make you wish you had purchased the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT instead.

Want to learn about your Rebel XT? Buy this book now!

I bought my first DSLR - Rebel XT awhile back (July 2007). IT has so many features I was just getting lost in the menus. This book explains all the features that a starting DSLR user would ever want to know. The first thing I looked up was continuous shooting (didn't know how to set that) - the book was VERY clear and gave several helpful pointers. Definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about your Rebel XT. The book is made out of durable heavy paper - a big plus for me because I will be taking this everywhere. You definitely get your money's worth here!

Great Book

This is a excellent book. It breaks down everything the owner manual dosen't say into easy to read and understandable text. I have had my camera about a year and learned so much more about it with the first few chapters. I highly recommend any one who owns this camera to buy this book.

Excellent adjunct to the Canon manual

I am very impressed with David D. Busch. He has clearly done his homework on the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT. I have read part of his other publication on dSLR cameras in general... It's an excellent tutorial and reference manual. In this book, he starts from the package to the more intimate details of the camera. You will find everything you need to know about the controls, it's capabilities, valuable expansion (lenses and all) information, and most importantly; the basics of great photography with the this Canon in mind. "No stone appears to be left unturned." He has essentially given us a much expanded owner's manual. This book is definitely a "must have" for the owners of the Canon Digital Rebel XT. SB

Pleasant Surprise - Essential to take the next step with this camera

Was very happy to see this product, perfect for my new camera. I was looking to make the leap from Point and shoot to a "real" digital camera and this book made me want to immediately go outside and take some shots. Very easy to follow.
