 I read three books on the 40D July 24, 2008
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
Long story short: 1st choice Charlotte K Lowrie, 2nd choice David D Busch
and 3rd Rob Sheppard.
Now for long story. Having read Lowrie's books before I knew I could glean some good information from this book. This book is in color, a must. Lowrie's tables are easy to read and understand, the index has everything you can imagine in it.
I find myself going back to this book all the time. Example; 4th of July, index, fireworks photography, page 228-229, shutter speed 1-2 seconds, and I'm off to the party. I ordered Lowrie's book on the 5D just to read it, even though I'll probably won't buy the 5D camera. I have found mistakes in all of the books. Page 30, image 1.14, after reading the caption, I thought I bought the wrong lens and went to Canon's web site to see if there was 24-70 "IS", no, but I wish or on page 33, 25-105 f/2.8L IS USM. Wouldn't that be a great lens if it were real. There was one more about that 24-70 "IS" page 34. Any one of these authors could do a better job of writing an owners manual than Canon. For me Lowrie's book is the best.
 helpful book to understand the EOS 40D July 11, 2008

I wanted a book to learn how to use things like the C1-C3 modes, and how/why to change picture style settings. The book does a reasonable job with the C1-C3 modes. I would have liked more detail on the custom picture styles. I like the comparison pictures (this picture taken with this setting, same picture taken with that setting). I just there was a lot more of this in the book. This book was helpful but there is room for improvement. Relative to one reviewers complaint this is mostly a christian book: does a few pictures (less than 10%) in a religious setting make the book a religious book? (If you are looking for a book for taking pictures in a religious setting then you will be totally - this is not the book).
 Very disappointing July 10, 2008

I opened this book yesterday and immediately returned it. Perhaps the worst layout I've seen for an instructional guide to a digital camera. Confusing and unorganized to say the least.
Besides, if I wanted to partake in a class in Christianity, I would attend a church. Why is it that authors such as herself and Scott Kelby are so intent on informing us of thier faith and beliefs?
Great reference July 5, 2008

This is a great reference for those looking for detailed information on some of the features that are not very well documented by Canon.
Excellent book! July 1, 2008

In 55 years of photography, this is one of the best books I've read. This book is excellent for both the beginner and intermediate photographer. Everything is explained and illustrated extremely well.
