5.0 out of 5 stars A Limited Audience, September 11, 2007
By Conrad J. Obregon (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This is a great DVD for a very limited audience. That audience is a person who just bought a Canon Digital Rebel Camera, knows nothing about photography, doesn't want to spend more than two hours learning about the camera, and doesn't want to read a book.

The presenter is Rick Sammons, a noted photographer and instructor. Sammons covers a lot of ground in a number of short clips, covering everything from holding the camera, to exposure and focusing to flash photography, without ever leaving the shallow end of the pool.

Sammons is a great instructor, whose energy and enthusiasm are beyond belief. One wonders why the producers felt the need to shoot pictures of him, a student and an assistant at a angle, or why the film flashed graphics across the screen for every point, or why the graphic-hip reviews had to be longer than the presentations, or why there had to be an incessant up-beat musical track that could give someone older than the MTV generation a fit. Perhaps the screen time could have been used for more in depth training.

I wondered why the publisher was offering this video for sale, when it looked like it ought to be stuck in the box with the camera by Canon.

Still, if, and only if, you are the audience described in the first paragraph, this video is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I had this DVD when I bought my camera!, August 22, 2007
By Mark Allen (Memphis, TN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have had my Canon Rebel XT for 2 years and am just now really learning how to use it, thanks to people like Rick Sammon. This DVD is very easy to follow and is divided into clear sections so you can go back and review as needed. He is very easy-going and makes it a lot of fun. I am already taking better pictures because of going through the DVD. For someone who is looking to learn the specifics of this camera, this is the best source I've found. I wish Canon could include this DVD with every camera they sell!

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit disappointing, September 22, 2007
By J. Walsh (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was hoping for a little more detail and analysis than that provided and the pace is just too slow. Each segment is so short, you'll spend half the time pressing the next button, watching reviews and listening to the same music clips.
There are some good tips buried within but this DVD is probably best for someone new to the camera who does not like to read manuals.
