Book Review: Canon 40D Field Guide
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent technical manual and guide to the Canon 40D DSLR for both the enthusiast and the professional photographer. In addition to being an accomplished photographer, the author is also a highly trained and experienced technical writer. These facts are clearly evidenced by the full-color charts, tables, illustrations, and sample photos placed throughout the text of this logically organized and well-laid out book.
I have read all the currently available books on the 40D and this one is by far the best organized and written, in my opinion. A positive aspect, for me, is that the book avoids dwelling upon the elementary aspects of how to operated a camera - what is an f-stop? what is an aperture? She assumes that the reader has or can access such basics somewhere else and in a more thorough and appropriate manner. The field guide is not watered-down with such out of scope topics, as almost all the other currently available 40D books are to one degree or another.
Thus, this is a field guide for a specific advanced camera, the 40D, and not a course on general photography. As a result, every page is dedicated to how to use specific Canon 40D controls, settings, and custom functions in an appropriate and comprehensive professional manner. There is no wasted space or words - each page is concentrated with essential camera information, including helpful hints in using the setting groups in example photo shoots. Most of the detailed informaton is laid out in color charts and tables specific to a given topic for rapid reference in the field, as the title says.
In summary, this book is not for the beginner that has never operated an advanced camera before and who knows nothing to very little about photography. This book is for intermediate to experienced photographers - those who would find themselves using such an advanced camera as the 40D in the first place. Such readers want to be able to quickly refer to the guide, efficiently glean the essential control and settings information so as to get up to speed rapidly, and then refer back while shooting in the field using their own techniques, as appropriate.
I highly recommend it and give it the highest rating.
