Book Reviews of Canon Speedlite System Digital Field Guide
Book Review: A total waste
Summary: 1 Stars
Reviews on this little book were divided and since the price was not high I decided to give it a chance. Huge disappointment. It is a lousy guide to flash phtography let alone the Canon Speedlites, which is the reason I bought it in the first place. I read it in over an hour and came out clueless on all the issues that I was interested in, such as when/how shooting Av versus Tv versus Manual with the Speedlite in ETTL, how to best adjust the settings, really the intricacies of the device and its uses under diffrent conditions. Nothing like that. The author actually confuses Manual operation of the flash with Manual shooting settings in the camera. A total disaster. Plus he constantly gives idiotic tips that have nothing to do with using the flash such as "check in your local newspaper as to where there may be interesting sports events in your neighborhood". (You tell me what that has to do with the use of the Canon Speedlite!) Eighty percent of the book is not at all about flash usage or flash photography, but a recycle of old material and out of context tips. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. Go instead to the POTN Forum website ([...]) and also check on the Flash Photography with Canon EOS Cameras link at PhotoNet ([...]). I had to give it one star because the system does not let me leave it at ZERO (the only rating it actually deserves).
