Average Rating: 
Rating:  - David Busch explains 40D very well
I chose this book at recommendations of book buyers as well as Canon forum contributers and am not sorry. I recently bought the Canon 40D DSLR from Amazon and bought this book at same time as an introduction to the camera's use. Factory manuals often are too brief and dry (okay for later reference). Mr. Busch's explanations are clear and concise. Thanks, David Busch!!
I'm "double happy"!
Rating: - EOS 40D Guide
Wouldn't own the 40D without this guide. A must have! Esp for the amateur. Still advised for pro and amateur alike.
Rating: - excellent book
the book is very easy to read and understand, it is simple and covers everything you would like to know about this camera.
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
