 Read the Book? See the video. May 2, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this book at the same time as the Blue Crane Canon 40D Video. I spent and hour or so going through the book before I left on a business trip. I took the video on the trip. I thought that the book was OK and will make a decent reference source but the Blue Crane video is a better introductory source. If a picture is worth a thousand words this video has dozens of pitures. The advantage of the book is no player required.
If I could only have one (and had a DVD player and power) I would take the video.
 The Book Every 40D Owner Should Own April 24, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book covers the Canon EOS 40D from the standpoint of a user, not a software engineer. I especially like how well the 40D's many menus are described throughout the book. The LCD screen description is also very well labeled. The photos taken by the author throughout the book also help to illustrate a number of the functions. I have used the camera extensively, and this book should help photographers of any level get up to speed faster.
The explanation of the Live View feature was also very helpful and worth mentioning because it can be tricky to locate it and make it work properly.
Practical and useful instruction April 23, 2008

There are many books on digital photography and books specific to particular cameras. Not infrequently there is a disconnect between the two. David Busch has pretty well succeeded in bridging that gap by combining instruction in digital photography as it pertains to the Canon 40D. Recommended.
Great Canon 40D Guide for Advanced/Beginner users April 19, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have been shooting Canon's for 10 years now, and specifically the 40D for 8 months. I bought this a week ago and was really surprised at how many features I had been unaware of on my camera. The basic functions are of course covered, but it is the treatment of less talked about features and the thinking behind those options that really impressed me. Well thought out and well laid out. Excellent source for maximizing the many talents of the 40D
Excellent companion for the CANON 40D April 12, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I highly recommend this book as a companion to the CANON 40D.
I just bought the CANON 40D, and was intimidated by all the settings, being a novice to SLR cameras ! I was wondering if I needed just one book or several books to get going. Being a novice, I was wondering whether the book would be too much for me. But my fears were put to rest ! This book is the perfect guide for not only camera-related information, but also for photography in general ( such as JPEG and RAW formats ). It gives you the HOW and WHY of everything about the camera.
