4.0 out of 5 stars Good tool for new user, December 12, 2007

This review is from: Introduction to the Canon PowerShot A570is / A630 / A640 / A710is (DVD)

I bought this after buying a Canon a570is camera and I'm glad I did. Some cameras and owner's manuals are more intuitive than others. This is a great tool to teach you "how to use the camera" as well as some pointers on how to take good pictures. It goes step by step through each function and every button and combinations of buttons as well as creative alternatives. More importantly it tells how they work. Taking pictures with the camera set on "auto" is fine, but this DVD also tells you how to use the manual controls to your best advantage. I highly recommend this DVD to the casual user as well as those who want to expand there photographic horizons.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not just what, but why and how, November 8, 2007

This review is from: Introduction to the Canon PowerShot A570is / A630 / A640 / A710is (DVD)

The DVD effectively explains how to use the camera. The narrator's analogy to the manual found in the glove compartment of a car is true. You can't learn how to drive from that car manual -- and you can't learn how to use the camera from the manual that comes with it. The DVD explains how, why, when, and where to use the difernet features of the camera.

I got this particular DVD for my Mom as a gift and she loves it.

You can NEVER go wrong with a Blue Crane Digital DVD! You will take more away from this presentation the first time you watch it than if you read your manual cover-to-cover 10 times.
