I received my copy of the Digital Rebel Field Guide earlier this week. It is a good complement to my new camera. The first few chapters cover the same ground as the manual from Canon, but the author does a better job of relating to actual photographic use. (There are a few places in the manual where it seems the tech-writer didn't get the functionality.) Later sections in the book cover photographic basics such as lighting and shooting very specific types of scenes. The author mixes in sources of additional online information which is great for digging deeper into some of the topics. If you're new to digital SLR photography, this book will help you to get the most out of your Digital Rebel. It's been years since I've spent much time with an SLR so I have found it to be a useful refresher that focuses on the great features in my camera. The Digital Rebel XT is covered in side bars and other notes. This can make following some steps difficult. It is okay with me, because the XT usually has more options that are easier to access. The step-by-step instructions aren't my main interest.
