Comments about QuickPro DVD: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi Digital SLR Camera:

This DVD was very helpful! It is very specific to this camera so it helps you understand the principals it is trying to teach. When they are talking about apeture, iso, different modes... it is helpful seeing all the functions directly on your camera! I learned alot! Very informative.

QuickPro Camera Guides: Canon ESO Digital Rebel XTi. This training video played for just short of 51 minutes. I was somewhat worried when I first received this DVD in the mail because I believe that they forgot to update some of the art on the DVD and DVD back cover to read XTi and not XT. Actually the back cover shows screen shots and menus not show in this DVD. Because of this I was worried that this would be a video explaining about the Digital Rebel, Rebel XT, and Rebel XTi, but this was not the case at all, once I played the DVD no time was spent on the XT or the differences between the two modes. While I am new to EOS Canon cameras, I am not an idiot and I liked that they were able to quickly go though many items and into real explanations. It was good at explaining about exposure basics, it covered shutter speed, aperture and their stops, depth of field, ISO speed, histogram, and ways to use these settings creatively. Besides explaining the automatic modes it also went though each of the partial manual modes all the way to full manual. Overall I was impressed with the quality of the production and the graphics. I have in the past seen photography DVDs that have been very bad, so bad were the production quality that it made the pictures look bad and thus did not make photography look fun at all. This on the other hand has beautiful pictures which give you great ideas on things to emulate in the future, so not only where the graphics speech and video helpful so were the example photos. Overall would I pay $20+ to get this again, absolutely! After all didnt you just pay a lot for that camera? Oh and while I did just now watch the whole thing all the way though I am definitely going to be going back to this to try each different tip out.

Expertise: Beginner but not dumb...

Problems Encountered: Just the above mentioned scares with the DVD art and the back of the Cover art. Also I had a bit of a hard time using the menu to get to particular parts of the DVD but this could just be because I was using the DVD in my computer and not in a real DVD player.
