I am sure the book itself is OK, just never got it and keep getting told to wait and wait.

I am not overly big on the "for Dummies" concept, but despite that, this book is well-written and provides an excellent tutorial for those who have just purchased their new Canon EOS XTi or 400D camera. As great as the Canon camera is, the documentation provided by the manufacturer leaves more than a little to desire. Even if you are familiar with SLR cameras, you will find this book very helpful in tieing all the various considerations of SLR photography together with the features and functions of the camera. This book is well worth the investment!

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi/400D For Dummies

I am pleased to be able to recommend this book to other shoppers. It's an all in one explanation for those like me who need a little help in understanding their Canon EOS 400D. The layout of the book is excellent and each aspect of the camera and its operation is clearly explained. It gets the thumbs up form me! 10 out of 10

I was given a Canon Rebel XTi as a Mother's Day gift. I absolutely love the camera but the manual modes were way over my head! When I received the book I began reading chapter by chapter. It is set up very simply & easy to follow. I went from not being able to even understand manual modes to taking gorgeous photos within minutes! The f-stops, shutter speed, & ISO were explained in a way that just made it "click" in my head. Great book!
