Throw away the manualJune 9, 2008 Christopher(Wales) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Throw away the little manual that came with your 40D and invest in this instead. Very well written and can be read from cover to cover unlike a manual. Full of interesting little insights on getting the most from your new camera. I am on my second reading and I am still discovering little gems.
The pennies have droppedApril 15, 2008 Frank WILLIAMS(Ireland) 15 out of 15 found this review helpful
I had attended a training session provided by Canon designed for new owners of 40Ds (and other models); this was a very good course.
The book allowed me to build on what I learned and to make substantial steps forward by providing answers to the questions that I didn't have the knowledge or understanding to ask. If anyone is scheduled for the Canon training I suggest that you make the very modest investment in this book and read it before the course. It is written in a style that makes it very easy to read; I read the entire book at a single sitting. The illustrations are excellent and support the text perfectly. Probably won't be a long-time fixture but at this point in time it is proving to be a perfect companion because I am at the lower end of the learning curve and want to make progress quickly.
It is probably a book for beginners but the value and impact it has had on me in putting the pieces together cannot be overstated; the sound of pennies dropping must have been deafening
