Photography Cheat Sheet Guide for Canon Camera - Quick Reference Cards for DSLR or Mirrorless R10 R8 R7 R5 R6 R RP 5d 1DX 6D 90D 80D SL3 T7 and more

I would tell all budding photographers and even advanced photo geeks that this is a MUST-HAVE "cheat sheet"!These cards are laminated and larger than I expected, but that is a plus, as I didn't want to have to strain my eyes to read the print.The cards pack a ton of info, yet not overwhelmingly so - just the main highlights of importance and in a very organized fashion.Each has its own topic to make it easy to find what you're looking for. I will be using these cards a lot until I can memorize or at least get more familiar with them.And it comes with a sturdy metal Clip to keep them all together and can easily attach anywhere. I have mine on my Photography backpack. Easy to access at any given time.

What I love about this cheat sheet, is that the information is easy to find, read, and execute AND the laminating is thick. These things are not going bend and get damaged.

I like that it is a quick reference, however, I feel that it should be dummied down a little . For example it explains some features but the doesn't tell you how to change the features.(In their defense it doesn't say it is a "dummy quick reference). My biggest issue was the size, if you look at the picture it seems (to me at least) that the cards are going to be like say, 2 inches by 3 inches but they are much larger. This is probably my fault because I am sure the dimensions are listed. It is probably a good thing in hindsight as my eyesight isn't the greatest. Pleasantly surprised that the cards are laminated. Good purchase overall.

These cards do what they are intended to do. They provide general photography and shooting tips, and they provide Canon specific nomenclature and directions where needed. They provide general tips for using the creative modes on the Mode Dial, and the assumption is that you know how to make basic adjustments to your camera. They do not provide specific instructions on how to use a particular camera model. These cards are not a substitute for your owner’s manual. They should serve as a field guide that allows you to use and expand upon what you learned in the manual. The authors encourage you to use their tips and guidelines as a starting point for exploring and experimenting with your camera. I would recommend these cards for people who want to be creative with their camera. I would not recommend them to someone looking for a how-to step-by-step photography tutorial on their specific camera.

I recently bought a new Canon Rebel T4i and so am just in the learning process. I was trying to figure out how I wouldn't have to drag my manual along every time I decide to take some photographs. Low and behold I came across these Tip and Cheat cards which have all the information I need and the cards have been laminated on both sides, and put on a ring with a clip to hang on your camera case. Brilliant idea! Has great tips and everyone loves a cheat sheet, right? So off I go and when I need to check something, the answer is hanging right there on my camera case.

First, these cards are NOT pocket sized. The caribeaner is misleading - they would be like hanging 4x6 sized laminated sheets from your belt clip... So I'm not sure who would do that. The information on them is NOT what I expected, though it was hard to even know since you can't see the details of the cards from the image on the listing. The information is accurate, but it's not helpful. My husband and I have been to a beginner photography class and I guess I expected these cards to be on par with that - to be a sort of cliff notes of a basic class that talks about aperture and shutter priority in more detail and perhaps that even showed what these settings looked like on the camera. For example, one card says, "For misty, smooth water: use a long exposure such as 1/2 to 1 second." Great - but where do I go to set the exposure to that? (The answer to that would be helpful on the cards.)They aren't horrible, just not what I expected. Clearly there is a demand for these quick reference cards - I just didn't see too many options for them which is why I went with these. However, for what I paid for them I don't feel like I was given nearly enough useful information for what I paid for.

Easy to read and information is very concise. Easily clips to gear so it’s easy to access while taking pictures.

Great little cheat sheets. They cover a multitude of topics from camera maintenance to metering, light exposure and troubleshooting.They are constructed well. They are laminated to help them be waterproof and come with a carbine to clip on to your camera bag (or whatever). The ring they are on is like a key ring, so you could probably add more to them or even your own notes ( you would have to laminate them first).Overall I am extremely happy with this purchase. I was skeptical at first because of the price, but they are worth it.Also shipped in a timely manner. Will probably buy some more eventually. 🙂
