The narrator can’t pronouce this word and it is hard to take.
Rating: 3 / 5
This DVD could have been a great video had the producers chosen to confine their visual presentation to the product, and hired a narrator with the ability to pronounce words professionally. Unfortunately, this DVD favors talking-head time over product time. The narrator’s eyes move visibly as if too close to the cue cards, and the harsh lighting glares off his skin oil.
However, even if this DVD’s producers had the good sense to do a straight voice-over with full product visuals, the chosen narrator would still be a major distraction due to his kindergarten command of enunciation. Instead of “picture”, he says the term most people use to describe a person who throws a baseball at a batter, or the container used to hold lemonade. Instead of “temperature”, he says “temp a chur”; instead of “aperture”, he says “appa chur” and so on. I fully expect that if he described nuclear spaghetti and the library, it would become “nukuler pasgetty at the lie-berry”
The script abets in this disasterous monolog by undermining the more common terms of photo, photograph, portrait, etc. and instead doggedly repeating “picture” practically every other sentence. Personally, I believe this narrator should not have been burdened with a script containing any word with more than one syllable.
“Pic” would have been the best choice.
In conclusion, this video has some good information and is best suited for those who believe the center portion of large words are optional and prefer to skip over them.

Excellent resource! Took me from nowhere to knowing all the basics about this camera (and photography in general). I recommend pausing after each chapter and practicing what was said to get the most out of this dvd. It is packed with lots of information in a fairly short amount of time.

The lip sync is out on this DVD. With saying that its easier to watch this DVD than to wade through the manual.

Good video but wish it was a little more detailed and slower showing you how to work with your camera you do have to reveiw it over and over and you can go back to review it again later and learn something new. So over all I would say it help you start to understand your camera a lot better.
