DVD Reviews of Rick Sammon's Canon EOS Digital Rebel Personal Training Photo Workshop

DVD Review: Annoying!
Summary: 2 Stars

Poor production! A 'Play All' feature would have been very nice. This video has some good tips, but each one is about 30 seconds long, have their own title music/screen, and ending review screen! So most of your time is spent listening to the same music clips and looking at title screens. I do not recommend this. I'd rather read a book about the camera.

DVD Review: Much less than anticiapted
Summary: 1 Stars

I thought this would be an introductory level resource for Canon cameras. However it is really a series of very short, almost anecdotal statements by Sammon, each surrounded by 1 - 2 minutes of title graphics with a generic Macintosh iDVD music bed that quickly becomes annoying. You spend most of your time watching the titles of the chapter and the review of the chapter, all with the same monotonous music. The title and review often take longer than the actual lessons. You might watch 20 seconds of the title, get about 60 seconds of incomplete advice, then another 60 seconds of text review of the same incomplete advice. For instance his complete advice for the Chapter on Sports photography consists of him telling you to put the camera in the "Sports" mode. No kidding. Then we have the obligatory music/picture montage that repeats the advice about putting the camera in the sports mode.

DVD Review: For The Beginner
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a great DVD for the beginning Digital SLR user. I highly recommend that if you are ready to jump right in, start here. My only complaint about this particular DVD is the navigation of the DVD Menu. There are great tips for the beginner and time is spent on how to use the manual controls.

DVD Review: Big Disapointment
Summary: 1 Stars

I bought this DVD hoping I would get some useful tips on taking better pictures. I just purchased my digital Cannon XT and just playing with it for 10 minutes, I figured out everything that was covered in this DVD. I was hoping for more but got much less. If you've never used any type of camera (digital or otherwise), I would recommend this DVD but if you're looking to polish your current skills, even if your skills are minimal, try another route.

In a nutshell, this DVD was a big disapointment for me I learned everything I needed to use the camera in about 10 minutes and then wasted $20 thinking I'd get more.

DVD Review: Over 40? Get earplugs.
Summary: 1 Stars

The video wastes valuable time on unnecessary graphics and plays, continually, an annoying drumbeat type music that drives many of us in the over 40 generation to hide in a quiet place. I don't need such an annoyance and had to turn the volume way down and even then the content of the DVD was something a person should learn enough about from the salesperson. A total waste of money, I threw it away immediately when it ended. Look for better Dvds out there and don't fall for this one simply because it says it is for the Rebel, a GREAT camera.
