Many users find the instruction manuals supplied with DSLRs to be less than clear. While all the information may be in there somewhere, it's often hard to find and may assume knowledge that the reader doesn't have. Hence the need for these books which explain camera operation more clearly and in terms the novice can understand.
Canon EOS 40D Guide to Digital Photography by: David D. Busch publisher: Course Technology PTR, released: 20 November, 2007 price: $23.51 (new) I had the chance to briefly flip through this book and it looks pretty useful. It seems well written and explains things in much more detail than the 40D user's manual. | |
