5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable, September 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Canon EOS A2e/A2 (Magic Lantern Guides) (Paperback)

To fully understand the A2/A2E, this guide is necessary. It describes and explains in great detail the functions and features of the A2/A2E. It is useful and easy to have in the field; the information is readily available without an index and it conveniently fits in most camera bags.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have If You Own This Camera or the EOS 5, March 31, 2000

Angela M Stephenson (Detroit, Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Canon EOS A2e/A2 (Magic Lantern Guides) (Paperback)

Not only does this expand on the manual, it gives additional information. Elaborates on many functions the manual only touched on as well as mentioned others the manual ignored. Offers extensive information on lenses, flashes and other accessories. The EOS 5 is the international version of this camera and this book is entirely compatible with it as well (that is the camera I own). Buy it, you won't be sorry (even if you think you already "know" your camera).

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the book you should buy for your Canon A2/A2E camera, February 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Canon EOS A2e/A2 (Magic Lantern Guides) (Paperback)

I purchased both this book and The Complete Canon User's Guide by Steve Bavister because the two were indistiguishable on this website. Well, I am keeping this book and returning the other.

The Magic Lantern book goes to great lengths to ensure that you understand what is going on "behind the scenes" of the functions described in the manual that comes with the camera.
