Customer Review: ” WHAT A MACHINE! “
I bought an l74wide from amazon after biding my time and looking
carefully for a digital camera -wow - i picked well!!
the touch screen is fantastic,face recognition and picture quality
very good,and its very easy on the eye -great looking camera,
from the black finish,blu led on/off switch and onscreen menus.
its also smaller than you would expect,sits in your hands perfectly
when taking photos,a fantastic upgrade from our old 3.2mp camera.
for the money paid its an absolute bargain,very cool and easy to use.
minor grumble -touch menu a bit dull in direct sunlight,but up u can
and shoot with confidence if no settings need to be changed onscreen.
great all round family use camera,with amazing features.
Customer Review: Wide angle lense..a must.
I bought this at heathrow VAT free. I really just wanted a wide angle lense camera but I was also impressed with the quality of the picture. Usually my photos are a bit crap but this seems to have helped my photgraphic skills.
It also has a large internal memory some of which is taken up by a world tour guide (why they have this is beyond me) but I think this can be deleted.
Overall I like it and would buy another.

Customer Review: Concise and easy to follow
I an am amateur photographer and new to DSLR cameras. This book thoroughly explains all aspects of the Canon EOS 400D with useful guidelines on photography. I would recommend this to amateurs who want to know this camera inside out.
Customer Review: A mediocre and misleading guide
At around ?9 it is not bad value for money; I just expected more. The book is of little, if any, use to an experienced photographer and I think it will confuse beginners. [I had better explain who I am - a middle aged, amateur photographer, who started with 35mm SLRs, progressed to digital cameras and have now got my first Digital SLR, the 400D]. In places, the book is confusing and incorrect and even annoying to read; which I can illustrate with three examples near the beginning. (Example 1) In the Quick Tour (pp1-10) there are four good illustrations, except that two are of small details that a beginner will not know where they are on the camera. It is not until pp14-16 of Chapter 1 that the whole camera is illustrated; but even here the back view, which has all the important buttons, is only half a page wide and too small to show what is written beside the buttons. (Example 2) The Quick Tour (p5) states that “Program AE … is a fully automatic, but shiftable mode. Shiftable means that you can CHANGE THE EXPOSURE [my capitals] by changing (or shifting) either the shutter speed or apperture …”. This is rubbish! You cannot change the exposure this way - turning the main dial changes both the shutter speed and the apperture together (not either/or) so that the exposure remains fixed. The Glossary (p246) does give the correct definition of exposure. (Example 3) The first paragraph about white-balance bracketing (p26) states that “White-balance bracketing captures three images, each with +/-3 one-stop differences in colour …”; the explanation in the Camera’s Instruction Manual is much easier to understand. All in all, a disappointing book that I would not recommend to anyone who was not already familiar with the main concepts of digital cameras; in which case they would not really need this book.
