Which one do you prefer and why?


If you have used the Magic Lantern or the K10D books, could you share your opinions please?

I have a K100D and am working my way through the manual (which I do find helpful) however, I have not seen these other two books (i.e. the Magic Lantern or the K10D book). I know the K100d book has not yet been released , but am trying to assess it based on the k10d book.


Thanks
VAV

VAV - I purchased the Magic Lantern K10d book when it first came out. I found it to be very helpful for me in explaining many of the camera features that I was unsure about just using the user manual. I also saw the book for the K100 in the barnes and noble store. It's hard to say if you would benefit from the book as much as I did but it sure helped this old guy break into the digital age. The explanations and examples have been very helpful.

I have the Magic Lantern series for the K100D. It is step above the manual in that the English is a bit better, it expands some of the cryptic manual/camera menu verbage, and has some basic reference info, such as lens series differences.

Unfortunately, all photos are black-and-white - including those illustrating color balance :-) and the wallet size "quick reference" cards are useless.

Thanks Squarerigger and SpecialK - I intend to get either the Magic Lantern or the K100d book ... trying to evaluate both...
