Must-have book for those upgrading from a point-and-shoot, By

This review is from: Canon EOS Rebel T2i / 550D: From Snapshots to Great Shots (Paperback)
I'm no pro photographer, but simply got tired of the slow response times and sub-par quality from the various point-and-shoot camera's I've owned over the years, and bought the Canon T2i. The camera is excellent and was well worth the investment. To go beyond the "full-auto" most everyone uses with the point-and-shoots, I wanted something to teach me about all of the features of this powerful camera. I looked at several books, and this one caught my eye, especially based on it's review for the T1i camera. I took a chance and bought it, and am extremely impressed. This book not only goes through all of the camera's photo features, but it actually teaches you the what, how, why, when, and where to use them all, with great examples, and even assignments at the end of each chapter. It's very well written, with sample photos, and descriptions of how they were each taken. There are a lot of tips, with easy-to-follow instructions for every feature and menu. After only going through a few...

This review is from: Canon EOS Rebel T2i / 550D: From Snapshots to Great Shots (Paperback)
I do not take pictures for a living, but have take a photography class in college. I've used SLRs in the past and just upgraded to a Canon T2i and I was looking for a book to help me get back into thinking like a photographer. This book caught my eye in the bookstore and I checked to see if it was available in the Kindle app for the iPad. Trying to go digital in my bookshelf because of the iPad and i thought it would be better to have digital reference books with me when I am out taking pictures.In general the book is amazing. The one thing I appreciate most is the photography assignments at the end of the chapters. This is helping me to keep focused in practicing a specific subject with my new camera. The book is laid out very nicely with great photos and helpful instruction throughout. The author focuses on photo, buy touches on video, and gives you access to two additional chapters on using the camera for film. A very nice, unexpected bonus. I think the author says... Read more

Great for understanding camera basics, By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Canon EOS Rebel T2i / 550D: From Snapshots to Great Shots (Paperback)
I am not a very experienced photographer. I bought the Canon T2i camera to take better photos. In order to understand the camera itself, I purchased this book as well as the "...For Dummies" book.This book by Revell is written for someone who would like to spend about 8 hours in total to learn the essentials of the camera as well as some effective ways to use it. The book explains how a professional photographer thinks if he were to use this particular camera. It is not an exhaustive reference guide. It's more of a "beginner photography tutorial". You feel as if you're being mentored when reading this guide. I can imagine a conversation going along the lines of "What's this, teacher?" and the answer being "You won't need that until you've mastered this other stuff, so don't worry about it". If you want to spend 8-10 hours in "tutorial" learning about how to use this camera, about the concepts of depth of field, white balancing, lenses, focusing, moving... Read more |
