5.0 out of 5 stars
Great supplement to manuals,
By Old Cobol Programmer (SF bay area) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Canon PowerShot Digital Field Guide (Paperback)
The Canon PowerShot Digital Field Guide is clear, concise, well indexed and a high quality book. It supplements the myriad Canon Manuals in an easy to follow format. The color photos, high quality paper stock, and excellent easy to follow format are great and it includes useful information on basic photography as well. You can reference the well composed index to find answers that are hard to find in the Canon manual(s).

Watch Out Big Boys!!!,
By Reg 59 "book addict" (Charlotte) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Canon PowerShot Digital Field Guide (Paperback)
This book is about the little camera that could. The pages contain information that stretches out far beyond the Canon PowerShot manuals.You will be amazed at what this little camera can do given the parameters set in this book. Features abound in the PowerShot camera series that you probably didn't know existed! Since buying this book, I have used it religiously and believe me, my photos have improved 90%. Most people think that the PowerShot cameras are just basically point and shoot. If that's what you want, that's what you get. However, this book can you from point and shoot to point and create. Word. Well written and easy to understand. By no means does this replace the Canon manuals but, by all means it helps the manuals make sense. If you don't own a PowerShot already, get one along with this book and discover one of the best kept secrets of digital photography!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent,
By Stan-the-man (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Canon PowerShot Digital Field Guide (Paperback)
and well written. Not just for tekkies. Explains all about the Canon Powershot cameras. You can't miss a thing whether you are a novice or an expert in photography. It is much better than the User Guides that Canon supplies with its equipment. Not only explains how to work your Powershot but also how to get the most out of it. It is a must have for all Canon users. The most informative 288 page book you can read, all in color.
