What the heck is a Guided Tour?<\/p>\n

Welcome to the Guided Tour series, an Adorama exclusive, where we take you on in-depth looks at today’s most popular cameras. We explain all of the buttons, modes, and special functions of specific cameras in detail, and offer hints and tips and photos to help you really get to know this camera.<\/p>\n

You can read Guided Tours…<\/b>
\n…before you buy.<\/i> The more you know about the abilities of a camera, the better equipped you are to make a buying decision. Our Guided Tours offer extensive information.
\n…after you buy.<\/i> You’ve invested in the camera; now you want to learn everything there is to know about it so you can take advantage of all of its capabilities.<\/p>\n

How to read a Guided Tour:<\/b>
\nIf you just want to turn on the camera and start shooting, go to the “Basic features” section.
\nIf want to explore other features in depth, read the “Advanced Operations” section. This is where you can unlock your camera’s deepest levels of control.<\/p>\n

New: Field Report<\/b><\/p>\n

Starting with our review of the Pentax K100D, we’ve added a “Field Report” section, which is our quick assessment of the camera based on our experience using it in real-world shooting conditions. This is especially useful if you’re thinking about buying the camera. We’re not shy about talking about a camera’s shortcomings–but we’ll also try to provide the best way to let you get the shot you want.<\/p>\n

On to the Guided Tours–if you don’t see your camera here yet, you probably will soon!<\/p>\n
