5.0 out of 5 stars The pennies have dropped, 15 April 2008
By Frank WILLIAMS (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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

3.0 out of 5 stars The manual on steoriods, 18 Aug 2008
By Søren Augustesen (Aalborg, Denmark) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The first part of the book is just an extended manual. It goes through the camera menus and settings just like the manual does, although in a bit more details. In the second part of the book talks about exposure, lenses and lightning, and finishes off with a bit about image download and 40D troubleshooting.

Whether or not you will get something out of this book depends heavily on long you have had your 40D and how long you have been take photographs.

If the 40D is your very first digital SLR camera, and you have only just bought it, this book will teach you a lot of new stuff and will properly be of great value.

If you have owned previous Canon SLR cameras, or if you have been using the 40D for a while, the first part of the book can easily be skipped, since it will properly hold very little to nothing that you won't already know. Depending on you knowledge of exposure and lighting there might be some new knowledge to be gained in the second part of the book. The part about lenses and image download will not bring any new knowledge if you have brought just on lens and downloaded images more than 5 times.

In conclusion I would say the this is a book for people how have just brought the 40D as their very first SLR camera, in which case it will be a good help in getting started - but if you have had your 40D for more than 6 month or so, this book will bring very little that you didn't know about the camera already. If you want to learn about exposure and lightning, you will properly be better off buying a dedicated book about these subjects.

5.0 out of 5 stars Throw away the manual, 9 Jun 2008
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.

I found this fascinating. I knew very little about my first DSLR and this book really did explain almost everything I wanted to know about it. Read more
