This review is from: A Short Course in Olympus Camedia C-5050 Zoom Photography (Book & CD-ROM) (Spiral-bound)
I own an Olympus c-5050zoom, and it is an amazing camera. It is a bit tricky, as there are so many functions/options, so when i found this book, a short course in camedia 5050zoom, i was very excited. when i opened the box, my excitemnt quickly faded to anger. A black and white book, spiral bound (as it states in the description) photocopied "book". i flipped through it, and just got more and more annoyed. it's really hard to look at sample pictures that have been photocopied in black/white. really, it makes no sense. my boyfriend asked me to give it a chance, and read it through. and i did. this book is basically a larger version of the instruction manual that comes with the camera. i didn't even look at the cdrom, but i know it contains trials of the authors favorite programs. thank goodness amazon will let you return things, because this was a big fat waste of money :(

Not So Fast...,

This review is from: A Short Course in Olympus Camedia C-5050 Zoom Photography (Book & CD-ROM) (Spiral-bound)
The CDROM version of this book has the full color PDF format version. The Olympus manual that ships with the camera is basic. The Shortcourses version has more detail and practical information to the user.

Worth having as a handy slim reference,

This review is from: A Short Course in Olympus Camedia C-5050 Zoom Photography (Book & CD-ROM) (Spiral-bound)
At first I didn't see the need for this black and white spiral bound guide,because Olympus provides a detailed manual on its CD-ROM with the camera. On the other hand, there are so many things to recall as an owner,that it is handy to have the Curtin slim volume at hand for reference. It covers all the must-have information. The more obscure stuff is with the Olympus CD in a stuffier verbage. The Curtin CD combo adds only color pictures,but it is probably worth getting and saving to your hard drive. I like the author's no nonsense approach and clear writing style. For less price than a small 64 meg flash card,it is a reasonable enough investment in this day and age. Wish it had more pages though and more details on the camera and its myriad capabilities.
