Canon EOS Rebel 2000

A very good consice book. A great help in helping you learn all the great things this camera is capable of. Film cameras are still alive!! Bravo!!

It's all in the fine print

Ok, I don't own a Rebel 2000, I own a Rebel G, but as the front cover says, this covers all Rebel models. Nothing else. I got to learn by experimentation. Then I found this little wonder of a book, and boy did it help. The only thing that was different between the two camera's was the location of the rewind button and the number of focusing zones. I couldn't believe how much this book helped me figure out my camera. Buy it at the same time as your Rebel, no matter what model it is. (all the way back to the Rebel EOS 1000, first generation) Can't go wrong. It even includes photo examples from different setups of the cameras.

What's with these negative reviews? This is a great book!

After years of using a point and shoot camera, I decided that I wanted more control over my picture-taking and the quality of my prints. I chose the Canon Rebel 2000 because of its features. While the instruction manual that came with the camera was helpful as a starting point, I wanted a book that went into a little more depth without being overly technical. This book is it! It explains all the features of the camera very well, and it provides examples of pictures taken using all of the various modes. There are suggestions as well for how to get great photos from each setting. The section on lenses will be extremely helpful to me when I go to choose another lens as I am new to the SLR camera experience. I am glad I didn't seriously follow the previous reviews of this book. If I had, I would have missed a very helpful and informative guide.

Great Source of Information

This book is very helpful in understanding all the details for the Rebel 2000. If you want to move beyond simple point and shoot use, you will want to read this book. Like all the books in the Magic Lantern series this book has valuable information for all levels of photographers.

Replace your user manual with this book

I am new to photography. After I purchased my first SLR (Rebel 2000), I was unhappy with the user manual that came with my camera. The user manual does not explain what each setting does in detail, rather it explains it in one or two sentences. I knew I need more information. I am glad I purchased this book and would recommend it highly to anyone who is new to photography. I also bought the Magic Lantern Guides to Canon Lens. I DON'T feel that it was worth buying it since it was published in 1995 and is missing some of the newer lenses. The Magic Lantern Guides Canon EOS Rebel 2000 explains a lot of Canon's newer lenses.
