 Great Canon 40D Guide for Advanced/Beginner users April 19, 2008
12 out of 15 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

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.
 So far so good April 12, 2008

This book is pretty handy and have learnt a couple more things off it. The manual that comes with the camera explains the basic functions but this book helps explain why you should you them.
This is the one! April 6, 2008

Go no further! This is the one book you are looking for. I've been handling cameras professionally for nearly fifty years but this time I had to master the vexing mysteries of the Canon 40D virtually overnight and then do a hugely complex, on location, get-it-right-the-first-time photo shoot at New York City Opera the next day. No re-shoots possible! This book got me through it with flying colors. Its layout is dazzlingly simple and logical, even soothing to that incipient hysteria inherent in approaching an object with a lot of strange and threatening buttons and dials for the first time. Not only that, but it's a lot cheaper than living on tranquilizers and less embarrassing than patting a security blanket. Buy this book!
Canon 40D vs Rebel XTi or New XSi April 5, 2008
16 out of 21 found this review helpful
If you want the best non professional Canon digital camera buy the 40D. Afer owning the Rebel XTi, the 40D at first felt large and a little heavy. But within hours I felt much more comfortable and I noticed the brighter and larger viewfinder. You will no longer think it heavy or large. You will compose your shots quicker & better etc.. The XSi is said to be lighter and will have a better grip over the XTi?? It will not be as well built nor as "fast" as the 40D. The 40D will cost you approx. $200 more than the XSi - wait till the XSi becomes available and compare it to the XTi and the 40D. The 40D is almost a "baby" EOS-1D Mark III. The 40D is a great camera and overall better camera than the Rebels - twice the shutter life as just one example. I am very happy. Buy the book on the 40D by David D. Busch. Learning curve of the 40D vs the XSi should be about the same - so learn how to use the more professional 40D and be set for a long time. Do not buy the kit lens. Buy the Canon 24-105 4f L lens as your first lens - well worth the money and you will truly not need another lens for all round and walk around photography. After a few months of learning and taking photos - then you can get a better idea of what other lens you may put good use to. Good luck.
