Anticipated a good camera. Got an excellent camera. Can't put the camera down. Downloaded the book on my blackberry and can't put it down. Would recommend to another DSLR newcomer both the book and camera.

A real good book for answering routine questions that are hard to find in the canon manual. Also an excellent reference for learning techniques.

I am a very casual photographer and to be honest I have very little experience with photography in general. I have had almost no experience with aperture or ISO. I bought the Canon EOS Rebel T1i/500D for Dummies simply because I wanted to learn more tricks and tips about the camera as well as how to change the camera settings. I knew that I wouldn't get the information I wanted, or possibly needed, out of just the user manual that came with the camera. This "For Dummies" book is my first foray into these types of self-help books and I have been very pleasantly surprised. This book is extremely well written and is most definitely not written in a condescending way treating the reader as if that person is a child. I found this book very easy to follow and it handled very complex information in a way that can be understood and practised by the user. The numerous pictures showing step-by-step instructions make this book more easily understandable. This book gives the reader a much better understanding of features that are hard to grasp as well as features that can be easily missed. If you are an experienced user you might not get too much out of this book other than a reference guide. However, if you are new to (Digital SLR's) like I am, then this book is an incredible tool to help you progress. Its important to note that you will not learn everything overnight because there is so much information, but in time you'll be thrilled at what you have accomplished with the help of this book. I have had this book for three months and I find myself referring to it as a reference guide quite often and I am slowly trying new things, things that I would not have known about on my own. There are quite a few parts of this book that I have not attempted to learn because I am not proficient enough yet, but for my abilities this book has continued to be very useful.
 Very useful and easy to understand May 18, 2010

I have used film SLR cameras in the past, but this is my first foray into the digital SLR area. I am probably of intermediate knowledge in photography. I found the book answered almost all of my questions regarding the use of this particular camera. There was an element of redundancy in feature review, but this was actually a plus because it takes me a lot of repetition before things stick. The book was laid out logically and well cross referenced. It was easy to skip around to the portions of interest, especially when re-reading or reviewing actual things I needed to do with the camera but couldn't remember how to do them.
In the tradition of "dummies" books, the text was easy to understand and intertaining, but still was efficient in delivering the information. I found the emphasis was just right in relating all the important stuff for beginners through intermediate users, though some pre-existing knowledge of photography is helpful. Would like to have seen more on taking video with this camera.
Overall a good book and I would recommend it to new digital SLR users.

I was just starting out with photography and my husband bought me the canon rebel T1i. It's a rather advanced camera and I felt completely out of place using it, so I was soo excited to see this book is actually available. I've never used a 'for dummies" book and it was amazingly easy. They have pictures for you to see what it's supposed to look like as you are doing it on your camera, which is really helpful as well as side notes that are extremely easy to find and very useful! I haven't gotten everything down pat yet,but there is a lot to this camera..im sure with more practice and having this book as a reference, it's only a matter of time. I would suggest it for anyone just started out with the camera! Also,Amazon had the book to me in a little under a week so that was great because i got free shipping for spending $25, most places I pay for shipping and it takes a lot longer.
