 great book... November 11, 2008
A. Helms (Chattanooga,TN.USA)
Great book...unless you read Greek(re. the camera's user manual)this is a must have...I automatically get a Magic Lantern Guide when I get a new camera.
I read three books on the Canon 40D July 24, 2008

Long story short: 1st Choice Charlotte K Lowrie, 2nd Choice David D Busch,
3rd Choice Rob Sheppard.
The long story: This is my second Black and White book from Magic Lantern
Guides and by Rob Sheppard having read his "Canon EOS 30D". Black and White what is Lark Books thinking, We'll save a nickle using black ink? Sheppard does a good job of explaining how to work the 40D, which is all we are looking for any way. He uses the actual icon image that matches the various dials and buttons on the camera. Included in the back of the book is a wallet size card to remind you of various menus and setting. On page 89 sRAW is listed as 12.4 instead of 7.1, no big deal, most people only care how many pictures you can get per GB, not how many MB in the sRAW file. The black & white pictures cost this book 2 stars. Will I buy Magic Lantern Guides again? No. Will I buy Rob Sheppard again? Only if he is in living color.
 Best guide for advanced non-professional so far July 20, 2008
MSR (Lake George NY)
I am transitioning to digital as it has become difficult to find quality labs to handle film, it is quite different to get used to this change and this is the best of the several guides I have used so far.
 too basic and shallow July 11, 2008

I wanted a book to learn how to use things like the C1-C3 modes, and how/why to change picture style settings. Nothing in the booked helped me. It looks like the book is wriiten for the person who is moving from a point-and-shoot to their first D-SLR. Relative to the pictures being black and white - I'm not buying a picture book, I'm buying a book to help me understand the camera and how its settings affect the picture. So even if they had been in color it would not have helped me understand the camera. I also bought Charlotte Lowrie's book and liked it better.
Camera Manual June 5, 2008

A definite improvement and a must over the manual that comes with the camera. I read both manuals cover to cover and the Magic Latern book is a much better explanation of the operation of this digital camera.
