 A PRETENTIOUS GUIDE THAT SKIMS OVER SOME IMPORTANT ESSENTIALS November 29, 2007

THIS BOOK IS HEAVILY PADDED WITH SHALLOW, PRETENTIOUS ADVICE FOR DOING ARCHITECTURAL, CANDID, AND FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY, PHOTOJOURNALISM, ETC, BUT FAILS TO INCUDE USEFUL INFORMATION SUCH AS WHERE TO PLUG IN THE REMOTE. HALF OF THIS GUIDE COULD BE THROWN AWAY WITH NO LOSS.

This book has all the basics you need to know for your 30D. It's a great book for anyone new to the 30D. It reads well and is easy to understand.

The book is awesome. It really breaks down all of the information in an easy to comprehend presentation and format. This is one of the best instructional books I have ever read. I was torn between this book and another 30D instructional book. I'm so glad I had the wisdom to choose the correct one. I have learned so much about the Canon 30D by reading this book. Kudos to the author and the illustrator........THEY GOT IT RIGHT!!!!!! Yes, THEY GOT IT RIGHT!!!!!!

The portion of the book that explains camera functions didn't expand very much
beyond the original instruction manual.
The sections on different types of photography, i.e. portraits, macro, landsace,
etc. were too cursory to be of much value. Canon EOS 30D Digital Field Guide

After owning this camera for some time I find it hard for a book to be useful. However the Canon EOS 30D Digital Field Guide broke that mold and very well I must say. The book starts off by walking through the features of the 30D and getting you up to speed on how it all works. Once you have an understanding of what the camera is capable you move into setup where you learn how to set the camera for various shoots and uses. One point that stuck out for me in this section was the author explains in great detail advanced settings, such as White Balance and Bracketing. Two very important settings that allow you to create stunning photos.
Part II of the book moves in to setting up your shoot, but keeps it specific to the 30D and compatible hardware. A crash course in Composition was a nice bonus and a necessity for any "starter" photographer or even a pro.
In Part III the author focuses on subjects and how to achieve the best photos depending on who or what your subject happens to be. This final part ends off with three very important topics. Downloading your images, working with Raw photos and keeping your 30D up to date using Canon's periodic firmware updates.
Overall I found this book to be very well written and full of very relevant information. The book is for a 30D but many aspects of it could be adapted to any camera.. such as the composition information, which would be used with an analog film camera as well as digital. If you are looking to learn everything your 30D is capable of, this book is for you!
