 Layman's terms February 29, 2008
9 out of 13 found this review helpful
This book definitely holds my interest much better than the technical manual that accompanied the camera. The book goes into better detail on the functions in a more comprehensible manner. It is definitely worth the investment to better learn how to operate your camera. Highly recommended.
Excellent 40D Guide February 21, 2008
10 out of 13 found this review helpful
A very helpful, easy to understand, guide that provides more information than the Canon manual. Good quality, well written product with pictures to help illustrate the topic. A good tool to help get the most out of the 40D. I think it's a good start for someone new to dslr( but still providing enough useful info for the more advanced user). Fast delivery as well!
Excellent supplement to 40D's Instruction Manual February 16, 2008
15 out of 18 found this review helpful
While Canon's manual shipped with the 40D assumes a lot of the reader in terms of photographic experience, the Canon EOS 40D Guide to Digital Photography makes no such assumptions. I was impressed with the quality, and readability of the writing. The 40D is a surprisingly complex instrument, and this book helps to distill away some of that complexity, especially as it relates to some of the metering options. Don't get me wrong, the camera isn't hard to use, but in order to best exploit its capabilities, sometimes it's good to have a supplement such as the Canon EOS 40D Guide to Digital Photography. You won't go wrong with this book.
Excellent entry for the NEW SLR (40D) owner. February 13, 2008
19 out of 22 found this review helpful
It's definitely refreshing to find a book for 40D owners that doesn't assume they have tons of experience with SLRs prior to owning this new Canon iteration. For that, I thank the author greatly.
I was quite surprised when I received this book because it's a really, really nicely laid out read, and is very EASY to read. Lots of really useful pictures in full COLOR, which, in a photography book, is quite helpful! I knew I was in for a quality book when I came across the picture of f/stops and how it affects the aperture. Most books just tell you what that means in writing, but a picture tells a thousand words. There's a nice little cluster of color illustrations showing you the aperture and how f/stops affect how open it is. Incredibly useful for the new SLR owner.
Will this book make you a super photographer? No. Will it give you enough information so you can go out and take pictures? (as you should do! It's the only way to learn!) Definitely.
The must-have 40D guide.
 Great Camera Manual February 8, 2008
8 out of 17 found this review helpful
This book will be a great help to anyone who owns a canon 40D camera. It is much more clearly written than the lousy canon manual! My only complaint is that it doesn't cover using the camera as the controller for pict-bridge enabled printing.
