Exactly right!,
This review is from: Canon EOS Rebel T3i / 600D For Dummies (Paperback)
I've been around cameras for years, had my own darkroom, owned Nikon SLR's and generally considered myself competent around camera gear, but this book showed me how much I had to learn. While there are some advanced concepts here it's the basics that have provided the most benefit.This book is well suited to both beginners and the more experienced user. It will show you how and when to use the automatic settings and help you delve into the more complex settings that will make your camera realize it's full potential. While I found that some of the things I specifically bought the book to address are missing (off-camera flash comes to mind), the book at least addresses the subject briefly and therefore gave me the information necessary to find more details on-line. But the biggest strength of this book is that it introduces concepts that I was completely unaware my T3i was capable of. I sit with my camera in front of me and this book open, taking countless pictures of salad dressings and bottled water perched atop an instant cake mix with a rubber duck sat in front as I watch some of the camera settings open up shadows, expose for highlights, focus and exposure bracket, manually focus, etc. Every time I have sat with this book I have learned something new or a new way of approaching something old. The T3i is a complex camera and has more features that are immediately apparent. This book will help you get the most out of your camera.

Mom's review for son,

This review is from: Canon EOS Rebel T3i / 600D For Dummies (Paperback)
My son bought this book using my account. Here is his review: I recently purchased the Canon camera and was having trouble learning to use it. I have a learning disability and Mom recommended this book saying it would be easier for me to read. It is very easy to read and easy to understand for beginning photographers, especially ones with learning disabilities. After using the camera (I absolutely love it), and getting stuck on something, I go to the book to get help and suggestions and so far I have always found answers to the questions I needed help with. It is very informative for beginners and has more information than I will be able to absorb in a year's time. But believe you me, I am having a ball learning!!! I very, very highly recommend this book to a beginning photographer, with or without a learning disability!! It is detailed enough when I need the details but also has illustrations of what it is talking about which greatly enhances the teaching for me. It is amusing and holds interest very well. Get this book to go with your new camera and then later after learning the basics about your new camera, get a more advanced one if you want or need it. That's what I am going to do and am having a fabulous time doing it.

I haven't come close to reading the entire book, but so far it is just fabulous to flip through as I learn about my new T3i. You get technical info as well as tips in a down to earth, super readable format. Great pictures to illustrate the info as well. A must buy if you have the T3i!
