What Readers are Saying about Doug’s Canon dSLR Guides:

A Pro Right There with You - If you want to get the (Canon EOS 7D) camera up and running with the feeling of a pro right there with you then I would strongly recommend it. He walks you through setting the camera up and gives you his reasoning for the settings. He leaves the door open to change them based on your level of experience. After the basic settings tour Doug then gets down to the heart of this great camera: the custom settings and focus system. His explanation is first class and he explains how various custom settings are related to each other. The focus system on this camera is top drawer and Doug does a fine job explaining what can be a very intimidating area of this camera. All in all a great read.  Camera in one hand and reader in the other and dig in. Be warned you should be above a beginner in dSLR understanding before diving in and this probably would not be your first dSLR camera. It is not a point and shoot read. I am on my third read through and still absorbing and tweaking. Thanks Doug....just what I was looking for.
-Tim S.

Essential Companion - A comprehensive and concise guide for hobbyists who desire to enhance their photography experiences.  I highly recommend this (Canon T3i) guide to anyone who wants to get out of auto mode and learn how to take high-quality photos.  It brilliantly explains how to apply advanced techniques and tips, walks you through the daunting task of menu settings, and smoothly guides you through the image-taking process.  The instructions and explanations are easy to follow and well organized.  The guide is a portable class on digital photography!  A must-have if you want to learn how to use your camera to its fullest advantage.

-Elizabeth J.

 

Best Guide to Using a T2i - I don't know how I could fully take advantage of all the features the T2i has to offer without this publication!  It's well-organized, easy to understand, and succinct enough to keep your attention while still containing a wealth of information, tips and tricks to get the most out of your camera.  I'm very happy that I found this guide.

What Readers are Saying about Doug's Nikon dSLR User's Guides:

 

This book, together with the manual that came with your camera, is all you need to start discovering all the potential of this camera.

-Max M.

 

It’s the first guide I've read which has taken me through all the settings in an understandable way. I now feel that I have control over the camera

-Peter S.

 

I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get a quick start to using their camera.  Manuals are nice, but this eBook highlights the important information and gives a quick easy to understand explanation of most all of the functions and controls.

-Ray M.

 

I found the (camera's) manual good for understanding how to set things up but not much on the why - this book really focuses on the "why."  The guide helped me understand why to use specific settings for specific needs.  The Custom Settings sections helps to make firm decisions on how to apply settings by understanding the usage of each in addition to knowing how to set them up.  I would like to thank you for saving me time - now I'm confident that my camera is well tuned!

-Benoit A.

 

This manual is a clearly written, concise and useful explanation of the rationale for the seemingly infinite and often confusing settings options.  Used in conjunction with the (camera's) manual I feel a bit more confident in understanding how to at last proceed in getting better photographs.

-WLS
