Must have for new EOS 40D owners. [Posted on 2008-10-09]
I carry it with me everywhere. Great resource, very well written and I learn something new everyday. Congratulations to the author, he knows what the new owner of this fantastic camera needs to learn.

Easy to read straight forward information for a newcomer.

Buy this book with your EOS 40D if you are new to dSLR. [Posted on 2008-10-19]
Any first time dSLR owner who chooses to upgrade to the EOS 40D should buy this book with their camera.

I purchased this book with the camera about a month ago. This book does a great job of expanding on the information available in the owners manual. It is much easier to search and read, and the pictures make it much more useful.

There is also a small bit of information that expands beyond the narrow focus of the camera. What I am referring to are the chapters regarding lenses and editing RAW files. These are two topics that I didn't see covered in the user's manual that are included with this book.

A must have.  [Posted on 2008-12-22]
Easy to follow, with the detail I want, plus clear explanations and examples. Cannon or local photo store would do well to include in purchase of camera.

Superb book, and should be required reading [Posted on 2008-12-24]
I got the Canon 40d for my wife, who is a bit technophobic. she seriously dislikes programming her cell-phone, so I was a bit concerned about the camera.

This was a very smart move on my part, as she's latched on to the book incredibly. And it has gotten her to be very comfortable with the camera. It is a superb complement to the manual, and Canon should just include it as part of the package.

A case in point could be seen in the very first step, namely charging the battery. The manual gave no indication of how to tell when the battery was charged (did the light mean it was done, or still needed charging?). So we turned to the book and found the answer.

This was at the very first step, and it's a theme continued thoughout.

Myself, I'm at the opposite end, and have no trouble with picking up new technology. I still found this book indispensable. Particularly as I'm new to digital SLRs.

The photos and text are really well done.

So, let me just reiterate, this book should be a must for what I imagine are most people who invest in this camera, in order to get the most out of it.
