I wish I could comment without rating the book. My problem is, I wanted a primer on digital cameras, and I thought this was one. It’s not, of course; it’s about SLRs, whatever those may be. For a primer on digital cameras, I recommend the Quick Snap Guide to Digital Photography.

I recently bought a Canon Rebel XSi and bought this book, hoping it would make life easier. It doesn’t! I am new to the dSLR world, but this book spends about 3 chapters telling you why a dSLR is better than a point and shoot. Way too much nonsense info. I did not find this book useful for someone who wants to better understand hwo to get good shots from their camera. If you are a Rebel XSi user, I recently purchased a 3-hour XSi specific training DVD put out by Michael Andrews a professional photographer. It’s very good. I believe the site is canonrebelxsidvd dot com.

It’s an okay book but I’m disappointed at lack of usable content. I’m willing to bet that the idiots guide to digital slr cameras would be more informative. Skip this one, you’ll be glad you did.

The book has the basics of what you need to decide on which DSLR you want..and even some idea about which lenses to buy…it is a good book.
The book is good for understanding the basics…but..
-it is repetitive and doesn’t have enough concise content
-the author seems to be a bit old school..I can’t trust him to cover everything in the current environment
-put me to sleep many times
