Rating:  - An excellent book
I own a Canon G5 and puuchased this book to see if the 40D is what I actually wanted and to get a running start if it were. I have studied some of it, read some of it, skimmed some of it, and have yet to read the rest of it.
It is well-written: for the most part clear and readable. It has fine illustrations, both in color and black-and-white. Glossy easy-to-read pages. An excellent addition to the manual, which can be downloaded free from the Canon web site. I would liked to have ... Read More
Rating:  - You can throw away the manual!
I really can't say enough good about this book. I have several of David Busch's books and they're all really easy to read with everyday, easy-to-understand terms. This book leaves no stone unturned as it explains every facet of the 40D and it's successful operation. I've gone from taking just average photos before reading this book, to taking outstanding ones by the time I was finished. It makes the 40D much more fun to operate and allows me to expand my creativity. It's so good, it should be ... Read More
Rating:  - If you have minimum amount of intuitiveness...
... you don't need this book. It's a waste of money. The canon controls are intuitive enough, doesnt need to be explained to you as if youre so dumb.
What should have been the focus is to teach the factors that came in to taking pictures, point to where the dial is (unique to the 40D), show the result (the picture), illustrate why that happened. We can always refer to the manual included in the camera if we get confused in the menu and lost where that input should be set.

Rating: - Canon 40d guide
This book was very helpful to me.Since the 40d was the first DSLR that I have used, I found the owners manual somewhat awkward and confusing to use. You have to keep flipping back and forth between pages which can be a pain.
This was a well written, easy to follow,and concise guide to the 40d.When used in conjunction with the owners manual I found almost all of my questions answered.It has a good index and is arranged in a logial sequence.
The one short comming I found was ... Read More
Rating: - Very Helpful If You Are New To The Canon EOS "D" Series Digital SLRs
This book is well written and contains very helpful "how to" information from the basics to advanced operation of the Canon EOS 40D. It also explains how to use the accompanying software for downloading your photos to a computer, as well as editing and organizing your photos. There is also a lot of useful general digital photography information contained in the book.
