Reviews

You just plunked down $600 for your digital SLR. You could just turn your camera on, leave it in "auto" mode, and take photos just like you did with your point-and-shoot camera. But if that's all you're going to do, why did you upgrade? You need to know what your camera is capable of doing and more importantly HOW to do it. For a small investment (compared to your camera purchase), David D. Busch will walk you through everything you need to know.I was a high school yearbook adviser for 37 years before retiring last spring. For the past ten years, I simply borrowed a camera whenever I needed one--usually the Canon 40D. Now that I no longer have "borrowing" privileges, I shopped around for a camera that would be user-friendly for both my wife and me. I settled on the Rebel SL1 primarily because of the smaller body size. It did come with a 116-page Basic Instruction Manual. It contains a lot of good information, but it's a small (4" x 6") format size and none of the illustrations are in color. Obviously, I needed something more complete and more importantly something larger.Busch's guide book is very easy to use and understand even if you've never used an SLR before. With more than 400 pages and hundreds of photos (all of them in color), Busch covers everything from focus and exposure to downloading, editing and printing. And a meticulous 27-page index will help you locate the answer to any question you might have. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
