Magic Lantern Guide's Canon EOS-3, Great for Beginners,
This review is from: Magic Lantern Guides: Canon Eos 3 (Paperback)
If you're familiar with the Magic Lantern Guides (MLG), you already know this book as they all follow a common pattern: the basics of photography intermingled with operational specifics about the camera.Everything in Canon's EOS 3 manual is covered here, but in a more expository manner. Whereas the original manual lists features and how to turn them on and off, MLG tells you more of the how and why. Moreover, photos and diagrams are given to expand on important points. Basic operational functions are covered first while advanced functions are introduced in a graded progression. Thus, you if need to get started fast, read the first few chapters and save the advanced features for a rainy day. The final section of the book is a survey of selected Canon lenses. Again, they cover the basics--lens classifications & uses--while surveying the various models. I have 2 negative points about this book: 1) Some of the images are second-rate stock photos; and 2) the text needs professional editing (wordy & grammatically incorrect at times). Who needs this book? Not an experienced photographer--they should stick with Canon's manual. However, a beginner would benefit from MLG's complete explanations, equipment survey and novice photo tips.

Content. Worth it?,
This review is from: Magic Lantern Guides: Canon Eos 3 (Paperback)
This book is nothing more than the factory owner's manual with a bit more explination. This would be a great book to buy if you didn't have the original manual. It explains a few thing a little more clearly, but not much more for the money. It does also consist of an overview of Canon lens, but is not up to date. Overall: If you have the manual, don't buy this book. If you don't, buy this book.

The Three .........Book,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Magic Lantern Guides: Canon Eos 3 (Paperback)
This book is a must have for the EOS 3 Camera !
I use it with the Owners Manual to figure out custom settings . The 3 is a little complacated to use if you are not used to making manual settings on a fully automatic film camera .... lol... kinda odd way to put it , but ... full auto & Film is an odd concept . Seeing as how film does not work within presets well.
