Canon EOS 40 D Digital SLR Photography

Customer Rating:

This book is worth twice the price if you own the Canon EOS 40 D. I cannot believe how many times I refer to this book to help me with this camera. It is written in easy to understand language. The graphics are exceptional. He leaves nothing out. If you own the camera, you MUST own this book!!

Great Book

Customer Rating:

I purchased this book based on the advise of a friend who has the same book for his model camera. In short, the book is excellent for someone new to DSLRs, such as I am. The book is great at explaning the functionality of the camera and the "why" we do things, not just the "how".

A Little Off Topic

Customer Rating:

The material presented on the functions of the 40D was well presented, and I especially appreciate having reference material in a print face large enough to read without eye strain! The pictures of the camera controls and the prints of the various LCD and viewfinder screens were all helpful. I just thought the book wandered off topic when the author ventured into a discussion of lenses and managing light. Someone who has the skill set to want to purchase a fine camera such as a 40D most likely has a pretty sound foundation in lens selection, capabilities, and an understanding of focal length, depth of field, and aperture. Ditto for working with light. The subject of lighting should be left to a totally separate book and not be included with a book billed as a 40D camera manual, although covering the use of the pop up flash as a part of the 40D is appropriate, it should have been left at that.

This is a useful book for someone like me who enjoys complete, user friendly documentation which is easy to read and reference.

A good solid work

Customer Rating:

This book is probably almost everything you always wanted to ask about the EOS 40D, and didn't know how to ask. Clear step-by-step presentations abound and lead the reader through some strangely omitted matters in the 40D manual from Canon. Nothing like asking the person who owns one.
Compared to Charlotte Lowry's book on the 40D, this one is not as complete, but Lowry is often overkill. Busch's treatment of the camera and it's many levels of functions is, for me, much more accessible.
Frankly, I'm glad that I ordered both books.
Now if Canon could only step up to the plate and provide such easily accessible material, we'd be in good shape.
