 Excellent Book September 3, 2010
J. Bozeday
This writer is right on the money. The author obviously has photographic experience and has used this particular camera. So often I have found these "manuals" to be generic and not very specific to the product, padded with extraneous information, and poorly organized. I was very satisfied with this book; it's detailed, organized, clear and comprehensive. If you have a specific question it's easy to get the answer using the index or table of contents. Lots of good tips. And- get a load of this- it is well written. Like listening to a very knowledgable buddy.

A very nicely done book. I like the color illustrations and diagrams which make it easier to understand than the small black and white manual that comes with the camera. The camera has many, many features and this book does a good job of explaining how to use them. The book is printed on quality, coated paper that should last a lot longer than the stock manual.
Explains everything! July 15, 2010

I bought this book and the Dummies book for my new camera. The T2i is my first dSLR, so I had a lot to learn. I really like this book, as it goes beyond just the basics and shows you why you want to use or care about some of the things the camera is capable of doing. I consider myself a fast learner, so this was just the right book for me, as it spends just the right amount of time on the basics, and then goes deeper to help me use my camera to the fullest of its abilities. The book even warns of a few things that should be left alone until you become a better photographer.
I really like the full color pictures that show the effect of many of the parameters that you can change on the camera.
 tough to rate ..depends on your needs July 4, 2010

My disappointment is why I've rated this 3 stars. As a "pure" textbook purporting to explain the T2i it is a 5 star rating. But if you have any prior use of this camera or search and use forums, I would suspect you, like me, would be disappointed.
I expected not so much a better manual, but a real how to use this camera.
Suggestions on picture styles.. how to adjust and use them with optimum selections ..i.e. is sharpness critical..is contrast critical.. nothing..
Why I should use adjust picture styles and with what light/exposure..what about tones??
More on highlight priority..light optimization..
How about the movie mode..this book should have a large disclaimer that it only "touches" this subject ..like a manual. Why has this camera captured the "movie-maker nuts" out there and why you or I should go "nuts" likewise.
The flash section is pretty good, although you can find more with a Google search
I wanted to learn how to use this camera, not how to understand what the menu items mean.
So for me 3 stars ... But again as a substitute to the manual it is 5 stars

I just purchased the Canon EOS T2i Camera and wanted more instructional informational information than was provided with the camera. The book is head and shoulders above all others.
