A dated book

By AAA "Tony Oakland" - March 18, 2010

This book has not been updated to reflect all changes in the new Canon EOS 5D Mark II. It looks like they only changed the cover. New shooting modes are not acknowledged. I returned the book.

Satisfactory Plus

I rate this book between the Magic Lantern series and the David Busch authored books. While I don't have the 5D2 Busch version yet [not yet out] the 50D set of both allows me to state this. All three are worth while. This one is a little more suited to sitting by the fire on a cold night than the Magic Lantern version. The Magic Lantern version is very good for carrying with you as a quick refresher though. This one is especially better than the Canon Manual. Easier to find things and more detail. Larger print too.

very easy to understand...

Most of the time I don't read books on how to use the camera because they are complicated and make things more confusing than they need to be. This book was full of photographs, had easy to use intructions and actually made it fun to learn more about my camera. I would highly recommmend this book to anyone with this camera from beginner to advanced.
