It's high quality, reasonably priced, lightweight, and constructed to feel comfortable in the hand. And the many avid amateurs snatching up this great equipment will want to understand how to get the most of every one of its state-of-the-art features, from its superb resolution to its super-fast speed. This Magic Lantern Guide has the answer to all their questions, because it explains in detail how to use all the wonderful enhancements: its ability to save large and fine resolution images direct to the CompactFlash Card, its user-selectable metering; and its single plate, high sensitivity, high resolution color CMOS imaging sensor technology. Canon EOS 350D The Canon EOS 350D is an 8.0-megapixel entry-level digital single-lens reflex camera. The model was initially announced in February 2005. It is alternately known as the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT in North America and the Canon EOS Kiss n Digital in Japan. It uses Compact Flash storage and a Lithium ion battery. The 350D is an upgraded version of the popular Canon EOS 300D, which was the first sub-US$1000 digital SLR, introduced in 2003. The differences between the 350D and the 300D are significant and are present in almost all aspects of the camera. Many of the features 'locked out' by Canon in the 300D were unlocked in this camera, so it has been subject to less unofficial 'hacking' to release the locked features. In addition to these unlocked features, a number of other improvements have been made. Some of the most significant upgrades include: * 8.0 megapixels (up from 6.3) * DIGIC II image processor—the same processor used by Canon's top-range EOS-1Ds Mark II professional level digital SLR * Near instantaneous turn on and wake up times (0.2 seconds) * Compact Flash type II capability (includes microdrives) * 14 frame continuous shooting buffer (up from 4) * Smaller and lighter body * Vastly increased function customizability * E-TTL II flash algorithm (improvement over the old E-TTL flash algorithm) * Mirror lock-up * Selectable AF and metering modes * USB 2.0 interface (improved from the slower USB 1.1 interface on the 300D)Read full review
Very good Guide on the EOS Digital Rebel!
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
A decent book, especially for beginners. If you are familiar with DSLRs or can understand the included manual, this book is rather redundant, devoting quite a few pages to how digital photogrpahy works and lens choices. So, depending on who you are, this book will either be very helpful, or rather silly. If you are new to DSLRs, get one!
This book has everything for first time user and carring one to the advanced features. A must for one who never owned a Canon before!
Great book, highly recommended. Goes beyond the manual that came with the camera.Tells why you use a certain setting with clear examples.
