Book Reviews of David Busch's Canon EOS Rebel T1i/500D Guide to Digital SLR Photography (First Edition)
Book Review: The Scott Kelby of camera guides
Summary: 5 Stars
When it comes to useful camera guides, David Busch is the master. (The cover blurb notes that he is the #1 selling camera specific guide author, and I can understand why.) Like Scott Kelby he explains everything you need to know in a comprehensive yet conversational way, with lots of examples of how to use his tips. He provides something that none of the other guides, mostly rehashes of the vendor's manual, are able to do. Busch gives you an in-depth introduction to a camera like the Canon EOS Rebel T1i and to photography at the same time.
This book offers Busch's typical in-depth explanation of Canon's "upgrade" from the previous Rebel XSi. The T1i has more megapixels and the same full HDTV movie-shooting capabilities found in the professional EOS 5D Mark II. With such features, it is in many ways superior to Nikon's equivalent offering, the D90. Busch really understands the advantages of the T1i, and lays them out for you in his easy to understand style.
Need to learn how to set up and choose basic options for your T1i? Busch carefully explains every feature in about 150 pages of well-illustrated text. Other manuals skimp on these important details; Busch takes the time to clarify confusing choices, and refers you to later chapters if you want to learn more about the photographic techniques that use them.
Already understand your T1i's features and ready to master photography with your camera? Busch explains exposure more clearly in a single chapter than in entire books I've read on the topic. Ready to expand your lens collection? He includes an astonishingly complete chapter describing the best Canon lenses. Have you found that your T1i's sensor cleaning feature isn't perfect? Busch has a chapter that demystifies the scary topic of manual cleaning.
It's always a pleasure to review one of David Busch's books, especially his camera guides, because he doesn't follow the established paradigm of simply rehashing the vendor's manual with longer explanations. His approach is unique, and will help you become both a better Rebel T1i user as well as a better photographer.
