Canon EOS Rebel T3/1100D For Dummies

I received a Canon Rebel for Christmas and after only using a point and shoot for many years, I was a little overwhelmed by the whole thing. This book is very helpful (I also took a 4 week class at the local community college). The book explains things in a way that makes it quite understandable. I have a long ways to go, but I think I will be able to eventually take really good pictures. Love Amazon's fast delivery too!!!

Excellent book. Writing is clear and comprehesive. The camera is packed with features. This book helps you to learn all it can do. It's like taking a course in digital photography. Starts basic and moves through all the features. A "must have" for Cannon Rebel T3 owners. If you are buying the camera, or giving it as a gift, this book is an essential accessory.

It is a useful book. I'm brand new to photography and for me, I guess I assumed it would spend more time on describing the mechanics of photography. It is though, exactly as it is advertised. It explains very well how to use the T3. I just wish it would have been laid out and organized a little better and even a bit more on the "dumbier" side. I felt lost at times as I knew nothing of photography before reading this book. I wish they would have illustrated pictures of how a camera works and detailed explanations of all photographic lingo and abbreviations. Once I was familiarized with the lingo and abbreviations, the book seemed to make more sense and that's when I really began to gain momentum. In a nutshell, If you know the basics of photography this is a great detailed manual for the camera.

I got this camera recently and took a class on how to use it correctly. The class was great, but I needed constant help, that I could look up something as it came up. Well this book was the answer!!!! It is easy to follow, and simple to understand. I recommend this to anyone who has this camera, because the manual was worthless for me. Thanks for the great book!!!

I began looking through my daughter's book and knew I needed one of my own when she "borrowed" it back. Not surprised. This is the easiest to understand and follow Dummy book ever! Thank you. Now, all I need is more hours in my day to really get into it.

I'm not a camera "newbie," by any means. I had a Canon EOS (film-based) for years -- since high school. (I graduated in 1989 if that tells you anything...). I recently upgraded to a DSLR after having many point-and-shoot models, and merely wanted something a bit more in-depth than the user manual that came with the camera. I had purchased another Rebel T3 "user guide," and found it to be less than stellar (and it contained an rather major error I just couldn't get past...). Rebel T3/1100D for Dummies is what I should have purchased first! It's not your typical "cheap" black-and-white Dummy book. This is a full-color glossy pages with tons of photographs and examples Dummy book. A great reference, and much better than the manual that comes with the camera. The Canon EOS T3 is an introductory-level DSLR, and this book geared towards the "prosumer" (professional consumer) audience. Highly recommended.

Purchased a Rebel T3 from a local camera store and this is my first DSLR camera so it took some getting used to. This book made it much easier. Covers everything you can imagine and lays it out in an easy to understand "begginers" language without getting TOO involved. It leaves some room for you to take creative control and really learn how to use it with your own style. I am a "dummy" when it comes to electronics, but this had me shooting great pictures is no time.

I knew nothing about DSLR or the Canon T3 prior to purchasing it. Once I did, I knew I had to learn the basics to make the most of my camera investment. This book does a wonderful job of schooling a photo enthusiast such as myself. I was able to read the book from front to back in about a week and was pretty well versed in using my T3. I highly recommend this book to anyone buying a DSLR for the first time. What good is buying a nice camera if you're going to set the dial on the green automatic setting all the time? Invest in this book, you won't regret it.

Received it and started reading and it has helped so much so far . I can hardly wait to eat the rest .

I moved up from a from an older model Canon DSLR and thought that I really needed a little help in finding out what my new camera could do. This book has been very useful to me and I oiften refer back to it. I know it may not go into great detail, but I think it is really aimed at the keen amateur photographer. I needed a manual to give me a grass roots understanding of the potential of my camera and this book gave it to me. I would recommend this manual.

Exactly what I expected in the book from the publisher and the shipping was exceptional very happy with this order

I found this book is ideal for my camera each chapter I am learning more and more in nice easy steps I can recommend this book.

As always this dummies guide is easy to follow and provides excellent info when learning or refreshing yourself with your dslr 1100
