User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars A Canon Powershot for everyone! (and this book to go with it).
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.

5 Stars Nuts and Bolts of Canon Powershots
I love this book because it explains the nuts and bolts of the Powershot series cameras. It has great explanations and sample photos to illustrate each of the techniques. I reference this book all the time and take pictures using the tips learned. This was a smart purchase. I highly recommend this book.

3 Stars Disappointed
All the other Digital Field Guides I’ve gotten have been great, but I think they tried to cover too many different cameras in one book. The menues tend to be different in many of the cameras but the direction paragraphs aren’t labeled which cameras they are for unless there is a special paragraph for one particular camera. I didn’t find it any help at all.
