 Dumbed Down Version of Canon Manual March 11, 2008
23 out of 53 found this review helpful
I was very disappointed in this book which I thought would give deeper explanations than the canon manual which came with the camera. What I found was a dumbed down version of the manual which actually contained several mistakes. For example, page 99 indicates that Custom Function IV-01 default behavior does not meter and focus at the same time. This contradicts the manual and when tested, guess what, the canon manual is correct! There were other instances where the information was either incorrect or just incomplete. Makes it hard to trust anything the book says.
The only good thing is the large print and large color pictures.
Dennis Curtin's book is more complete, more in-depth and more accurate. Also, the e-book pdf version is in color.
 Great beginner's book March 13, 2008

I am new to a photography, and Canon 40D is my first dslr. I had a Lantern series book on this camera, but that book went back to the store in less than a week. But David Busch's book is great for a beginner - very personal, written easy and understandable. Manual is worthless compared to this book. Highly recommended, especially if you are new to dslr. Great help in my learning journey!
Guide for Canon 40D March 21, 2008

This book is 99% thorough - loved it. I learned quite a bit more about my camera even after using it for months. I had a couple of detailed questions that are not covered but I can work them out. I recommend it.
This is the only book you will need to unlock the power of the 40D! March 22, 2008

This book by Busch is a pleasure to read and provides me with everything I need to know to use my Canon 40D. The Canon manual just wasn't enough and the Magic Lantern Guide I bought for my Rebel XT was not too informative so I didn't want to get that again.
I read the only negative review on Busch's book and I felt it was way off. There is no way this book is a dumbed down version of the manual. The reviewer pointed out one mistake that Busch made and how the manual was correct. I didn't check if this was true or not but I felt Busch's book was extremely informative and detailed.
The negative reviewer also ended her review by promoting another book on the Canon40D. This left me the impression that the reviewer was putting Busch's book down in order to promote the other book. I'm glad I didn't take her advice because Busch's book is well worth it.
I also purchased the Canon EOS 40D Made Easy (Two Tutorial DVD set) by Elite Video. I felt the combination of the two would help me to get the most out of my Canon 40D and I was correct. If you are a better visual learner than this DVD set would be a great addition to Busch's book.
I can't wait to go out and experiment with my 40D today!
Great book for starters January 13, 2008
