Canon Rebel XSi/450D Companion

I’m impressed with Ben Long’s style of writing: it’s a very comfortable style. He gives some good examples and writes in a personal voice that I believe makes it easier for the reader to learn how to use their new camera.

Canon PowerShot G10

This is an impressive booklet on the Canon PowerShot G10. It’s well written and covers aspects of the Canon G10 that the user manual doesn’t explain. As a small reference book you can keep in your bag for when you need it, this is a good one.
