"This is a great product. Really helped out with getting to know a fantastic machine. However two things 1) Im assuming some type of update has happened to the S4 as some of the functions are in different places. It's not a big deal with a little hunting you can find what Ean is talking about & 2) Still waiting on that second DVD mentioned in the tutorial. "

"This is a good DVD It helped me out for sure. only complaint is that it is a little Pricey for just a tutorial dvd; considering a incredible film doesn't even cost this much; but all in all I recommend this product!"
