Very helpful book

I found this book extremely helpful. Reading the booklet that comes with the camera just leaves a lot of questions as to how do I do some of the things mentioned. This book helps clear up the questions. I would definitely recommend this book to help anyone with a new Canon 40D. I learned a great deal.

Kind of a text book for the 40D

This is a good reference book - I am not a professional photographer. This book goes deeper than my current abilities so I will learn some new things but it is not an easy read.

Marvelous Canon camera

I graduated from film (Canon A-1) eight years ago and lived with point and shoot digitals through two iterations. While they worked well, the controls offered by an SLR were missed.

When I discovred the 40D and matched its specs with comparably priced DSLRs, it was no contest. In actuality, this is my 4th Canon of various vintages so there was a bit of built in favoritism.

The camera has provide everything that I was looking for including enough technical capability to keep me in a learning mode for some time to come. And that is good news.

I would recommend the 40D to anyone whose interest in photography has grown beyond snap shooting to hang-'em-on-the wall images.

Excellent Manual for the EOS 40D

This is an excellent manual for the Canon EOS 40D. I recently upgraded from the 10D and found this book very useful. It has all the detail you could want presented clearly and with large color illustrations and photos. If you really want to make full use of this fabulous camera, Mr. Busch will show you everything you need to know.
