David Taylor is an award-winning landscape and travel photographer, who was born and raised in Newcastle upon Tyne and now lives in the ancient market town of Hexham, Northumberland. He took his first photograph at the age of 14, when his parents gave him a Kodak Instamatic for Christmas, and he has been taking photographs ever since. David's work has taken him all over the world, from the sun-kissed beaches and aqua seas of Zanzibar to the bright chill of northern Sweden in the depths of winter. But his first love remains the wild countryside and rugged coastline of his home county of Northumberland, which he has photographed extensively, and which he continues to delight in exploring. David has also written and contributed to more than twenty books about photography and photography techniques, some of which have been translated into French, Spanish and Chinese. Most of David's books have been published by Ammonite Press. www.davidtaylorphotography.co.uk

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource!
Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2013

I've always felt that the actual owner's manual on camera equipment should be much more intensive and user-friendly. This makes me sort of resentful that I feel the need to buy a separate book for my new camera. (The G15 didn't even come with a physical manual, just an file on a disc.) However, this book goes above and beyond a normal owner's manual. It is easy to read and to find what you want to know on the fly. I've been extremely happy with both the camera and the Guide. If you buy it I hope it is as helpful for you and thank you for taking the time to read my review.

5.0 out of 5 stars A dream come true!

Yes this book gets right to the point! In a bullitt type outline with pictures it is easy to navigate the G 15 at last. There are even extra tips and common mistakes are pointed out. It is smaller in size, but the print is not small, so it is very portable. I think this is the best book on this camera out there, and the most useable. I am sorry to see it is not readily available... I have no idea why. I would like to thank the author for writing such a comprehensive book without a lot of extra verbiage...

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS is a manual

There is so much useful information in this book about the G15 camera, it can totally replace the skimpy manual that came with the camera. It is too bad that the camera manufacturers no longer provide a comprehensive manual, and some of them make the consumer go online to print a full manual, or they provide a CD with PDF's as a manual .

I have 3 Canon cameras and I have purchased one of these books for each one. Very good and very comprehensive. Great book to learn things that aren't in manuals. There is only a PDF file for the manual for the G15 so this book acts as my instruction book also.

Anyone who has read a bit about digital photography knows that you can easily get lost trying to read the camera's user manual in the attached PDF. David Taylor's is an excellent substitute in learning what those dials do and all those numbers mean.

Kaufen Sie es nicht! Der kleine blasse und unscharfe Schrift dieses Kindle-Buches ist so gut wie unlesbar! Es lässt sich die Schriftgröße und Schriftart auch nicht ändern wie bei andere Kindle-Büchern. Und Amazon scheint keine Rückgabe- oder Storniermöglichkeit für Kindle Bücher zu haben! Ich bin (oder besser gesagt war) langjährige Kundin von Amazon aber jetzt ich bin zornig!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for G15 owners.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 14, 2013

I am a very keen amateur photographer and own a variety of cameras including 7D and 5D Mk 2. I wanted a small camera to keep with me everywhere and for those times when its not practical to lug a large heavy kit bag along so I bought the G15.
Fantastic camera, outstanding even.
I wanted to take it for a walk with the manual and see how it compared to the bigger better DSLR's but wait...NO MANUAL! not a paper one anyway. I don't like to take my laptop for walkies so what did I do?
I bought this fantastic little book.
The book is in itself an essential guide to the many varied functions and controls of this awesome little sharp shooter and without it the menu's and the hidden little gems the camera incorporates could easily remain hidden.
Easier to get lost in than a PDF file and a flickering screen and for most of us guys out there much easier to take to the loo.
Having been a long term Canon man I found the G15 controls very familiar but there are so many variations and so many superb functions that for the price its an essential companion to the camera.
I would recommend this small,well written and informative book to all G15 owners regardless of age or experience as it really is very good.
I love the Canon G15 so much more because I can use it so much better thanks to this little mine of information.
Massively recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 12, 2013

I am really pleased with this guide it is written into bite sized chunks that make it very easy to read. I also like the short introduction on the history of the G-serious and some of the technical information about the G15. Unfortunately Canon only provide a CD-ROM as an instruction book which is obviously difficult to access and not particularly well written! The G15 is a brilliant camera but to fully exploit its capabilities you really do need some kind of guide and this is excellent. I believe that the relevant advice and techniques highlighted in this book will help even experienced photographers. Some of the tips are really helpful such as how to make short movies and plug the camera safely into the mains for when you are using power intensive activities such as printing.
