5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST reference for T3i owners....and I've purchased most. June 28, 2011

By Will Singleton

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is one of about 5 books I've purchased on the Canon Rebel T3i. This book truly stands above and beyond all the others if your new (like me) to digital SLR photography. The book explains everything very well and has pictures to back up everything for visual reference. What sets this book apart from all the others, is that you can read it without feeling like your reading the owners manual. I've learned tip and tricks specifically related to the T3i that others have left out. Do yourself a favor, stop looking for the best reference book for the Canon Rebel T3i, and buy this one. You will not be disappointed. And to the author, thank you for making the book that I needed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for the new T3i owner July 1, 2011

By James R. Holtan VINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Revell does an excellent job of getting you up-to-speed on the T3i.

His writing's clear, book is well-organized, and illustrations are excellent - showcasing Revell's own photography in ways that clearly illustrate the points he's making.

Revell's a professional photographer, but he takes a very down to earth approach. He clearly explains the basics of the camera - and of photography. He doesn't assume you already know basic concepts. Instead, he quickly explains things, then gets you ready to move up a level.

A very good book for quickly getting you oriented to the T3i, then moving forward to understanding and creating better photographs.

By Andrea

I recently purchased the T3i. When I was conducting my research online about the camera I came across this book via amazon. I considered two other books one of which (T3i for dummies) and another. I have to say I'm beyound satisfied with this book. The step by step instuctions are simple and to the point (without a ton of back story. . The visual photos are clear and direct. I would recommend this book to anyone who get the T3i. I assure you will not be disappointed.
