5.0 out of 5 stars Great Guide for a Digital Rebel Owner, April 29, 2004
By 
This review is from: Magic Lantern Guides: Canon EOS Digital Rebel EOS 300 D (A Lark Photography Book) (Paperback)
I just bought my first digital SLR, the Digital Rebel, and I am an enthusiastic amateur. I found this book seemed to be written for me, the photographer, and not the long-time digital pro. It gave me far more than the manual did, with a lot of really helpful photography tips beyond the camera basics. The author seems to really know the camera as he does more than simply report on the features but also comments on them to make them easier for people like me to use them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Info the Manual Does Not Have, April 28, 2004
By 
This review is from: Magic Lantern Guides: Canon EOS Digital Rebel EOS 300 D (A Lark Photography Book) (Paperback)
I don't understand why people can be so arrogant about books they don't like. I thought this was a tremendous help for me. It illustrates so much that the manual covers in such a basic way. There is stuff in here that evidently Canon doesn't even know because it is not in the manual, such as how to make the review image stay on screen regardless of the time set for review. This book saved me a lot of time in getting to know this camera and is well worth its low price. Plus it gives a lot of great how-to advice that I can't imagine any manual including.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful, May 12, 2004
This review is from: Magic Lantern Guides: Canon EOS Digital Rebel EOS 300 D (A Lark Photography Book) (Paperback)
I recently sold my Rebel 2000 camera and bought the Digital Rebel. Since the Magic Lantern for the 2000 was so helpful, I ordered this book and I am glad I did! This book was even better than the book on my old camera. It helped me figure out things about using a digital camera that I just didn't understand at all, like resolution, file types, what is best for what use, etc. The camera's instruction book did not explain these things in ways that I could get a grasp of and this book did a great job. I would highly recommend this to anyone from both the perspective of understanding the digital side to learning all about camera controls. It is well worth the money because it will add to your enjoyment of the camera
