Review of Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT Guide to Digital SLR Photography (Paperback)

Really does a nice job of explaining all the features of the camera.
Part of the book covers the same info as the Canon owners' manual, but with much expanded detail (and you don't need a magnifying glass to read it!).Where the author explains each setting/menu option it has a nice BIG photo showing the button or camera display. Where there are different options, the author explains the purpose of each setting and why you might want to select it.
The book contains lots of color photos. Included is a decent discussion of accessories (flash, lenses, hoods, software, etc.
The book is printed on nice quality paper, with plenty of room in the right-hand margin for your own notes.
I paid a lot for the camera, might as well learn how to use all the features I paid for!
