5.0 out of 5 stars Great supplement to manuals, February 5, 2008
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).

5.0 out of 5 stars Watch Out Big Boys!!!, March 21, 2008
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, February 28, 2008
By Stan-the-man (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews
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.
