 Canon Speedlight System Fieldguide Comments November 13, 2008
Dale MacKeown
I was surprised when I started reading this book. It is packed with good info for the amateur photographer. Not only is how to set up a speed light system there, but how to place lights, reflectors and pose subjects. The inner workings of the speed light itself are completely uncovered. Nice value.

Very Good Guide for Understanding the Canon 580EX Flash May 27, 2008
Thomas Grimes
I found this book to be a very good guide to understand the 580EX flash unit made by Canon. It is well organized and illustrated with easy to understandable text. I would recommend it to anyone who has not mastered this flash unit which is complex. The author makes it easy to understand the functions and procedures to obtain a desired purpose that I believe is better presented than the Canon manual.
 Amateurish waste of money April 5, 2008

This was a big waste of money. The writing was amateurish, the examples poorly described, and I learned almost nothing from reading this book. I had to Google to learn about my 430EX because the book failed to explain key concepts.

The Canon Speedlite system field guide is a very informative. It is precise and to the point. It is easy to read and understand. The illustrations are well presented and because of the layout of this particular book in question, I have a much better understanding of my flash unit. It far outseeds the manual that comes with the unit. I highly recomend this book. A+ A+ A+ A+ Thanks.
