Mastering Your Digital SLR: How to Get the Most Out of Your Digital Camera
Customer Review: Excellent Introduction to DSLR Ownership
I bought this at the same time as Digital SLR Handbook by A. Rouse! Why both, I have no idea but it was worth getting both! This is a hard back book of good proportions so not easily concealed in a pocket! It has over 190 pages! The one thing I don’t like with this book is that some of the black print is printed over coloured backgrounds and whilst it makes attempts to make the print stand out I had to get into good light to read it! Some of the caption writing is quite small, testiment to my eyes being ok that I can read it!
This book gives a couple of histogram examples, maybe more would be appreciated? It takes you through all the steps of digital SLR ownership, without too much on exposure and other basics that are usually well covered in other books!
If you are starting out in the DSLR world this would be a great buy. It also mentions a little on keeping your sensor dust free and what (basic) steps to take to remove dust! When my DSLR picked up a few dust particles and I paniced, but it is not too difficult to remove the specks with blower or brush or swabs!
I will no doubt pick this book up again in the future to brush up on a few things, no pun intended!
Customer Review: An Excellent Guide to Getting the Most from your DSLR
This is a great book. It is peppered with effective worked examples, and written in plain English, which makes it an effective tool to help understand the new photographic environment made possible by DSLRs. But it is also useful in that it reminds one of some of the basics (applicable to film SLRs too) which may have been forgotten over the years. If you haven't, it's easy to skim through these. This book cannot be recommended highly enough.

Customer Review: Excellent cheaper alternative to the Canon battery
I got one of these a few months back and have not been dissapointed. At 850Mahs, this battery is 100mAhs more than the proper Canon battery that comes with the camera. The battery lasts just as long as the Canon one, though i have not tested that scientifically. An absolute bargain alternative to the very expensive Canon battery. I have to say though that the ?30 i payed for this battery is still ridiculously expensive, no one should have to pay more than ?10 for such a small battery!!
Customer Review: Red Bull for your camera
I do not usually trust non-OEM batteries like this, but I can say that this one has proven me wrong. I paid double this price for an original Canon NB-2L spare for my S40 camera 2 years ago, but both have now deteriorated to a level where they only last a few shots using flash as they seem to have lost peak capacity and don’t hold charge very well any more. I’m not sure if this is down to my storage methods, usage pattern or a design “feature” but I was starting to dislike my camera due to the poor battery life. As a cheaper alternative to replacing my camera, I decided to give one of these a try. It arrived a couple of days before my annual holiday so I charged it up and thought no more about it. It was only on day 13 of the holiday that it went flat after taking about 10 minutes of video and about 100 photos (25-50% flash) that I realised it had done exceptionally well. They have a high quality feel and whilst the colours are not original this is not seen inside the camera. I have not put any science behind it, but it has outlived the original Canon performance when they were new, slaughtered the performance of my now ageing Canon batteries and cost me half the price. I’m so pleased I’m about to order a second and get rid of the old ones.
