Book Reviews of Canon PowerShot Digital Field Guide
Book Review: A Canon Powershot for everyone! (and this book to go with it).
Summary: 4 Stars
This Field Guide describes the myriad PowerShots and their features and, more importantly, how to get better pictures using them. Among many PowerShots, the features and menus are quite similar and the author does a commendable job of covering them. It's a bit cumbersome early: A spreadsheet of which models had which features would ease skipping the parts our camera doesn't have, and more early pictures of the various menu screens and mode dials would help.
That said, once we know our camera features, the final 75% of the book excellently guides us through working with our PowerShots to get excellent photographs. Part II "Creating Great Images..." is an excellent and concise guide to doing better photography in general, but within the PowerShot feature set and limitations. The author starts with the fundamentals - Simplicity, Composition, Sharpness, Light, Exposure - then moves on to special situations - sports, animals, architecture, children/people, fireworks, flowers, landscapes, motion, night, pets, streets, sunsets, travel, and winter - giving good basics, tips, and practice for trying each. You only need this one field guide - it'll help you use your PowerShot to take great photos.
