Product description indicates the S3 has RAW capture. It does not. Makes you question how accurate the rest of the description is, so I wouldn’t consider paying $ , which sounds too high anyway;. Rating: 3 / 5
This book presents it self as a self teach book, it is just another manual. I recommend not wast int you money. Rating: 2 / 5
For an amateur photographer who wants to improve photo-taking skills, this book is a great buy. I had originally planned to take a photography course at a local community college, but that didn’t work out. This book turned out to be quite a bit cheaper and more effective for me since it is specific to my camera. I have read several other digital photography books, but since they weren’t specific to my camera, I found it hard to put those concepts into practice. This book makes it easy to apply digital photography concepts. As many have mentioned, this is a plain 8 1/2 x 11 black & white book. I purchased the book for the content, though, and that is very good. I don’t need glossy color pages to make learning easier. Even in the first chapter I learned a lot about my camera that wasn’t included in the manual. There are lots of good shortcuts and tips that are not at all obvious or easily understandable from the manual. My picture taking has already improved!This is a great book if your goal is simply to understand your camera better so you can take better pictures. Rating: 4 / 5
I fully agree with L. Satin’s review. The manual that comes lwith the camera is inadequate unless you are already familiar with digital cameras. If you own the Canon S3 IS you need this this book Rating: 4 / 5
I was a bit hesitant to buy this book after reading the first review. There is no mention of RAW format in the book so that’s good at least. Otherwise, if you already own this camera (Canon PowerShot S3 IS) you most likely already have the eBook (I realized this after the fact as I thought it was a driver CD) and you can save yourself about $15 by buying the book alone if you really want it in print (Google the title, you’ll find it). Also, this book isn’t in color – the eBook is. So why buy the book? For $40 I feel hugely disappointed. Rating: 1 / 5
