Canon EOS 5D Mark II Guide

By Peter - December 13, 2010

I was a bit cautious about buying this book because a number of other reviews claimed it contained inacuracies, particularly in relation to the Camera's flash capability. Perhaps this book has been revised since those reviews but my copy makes it clear that the flash is an accessory.
Overall I found this book to be well written, comprehensive and generally easy to follow. The layout is excellent and it contains quite a few helpful tips. I would recommend it to anyone who is not a professional photographer and who just wants to get a better understanding of the features of the camera. An excellent guide.

The Best 5D Mark ll Book I've found

By Imagine - November 11, 2010

I have purchased all the books I could find on the Canon 5D Mark ll and this is by far the best for both content and quality of the physical book. If this had been published sooner I would have saved some $ because it really explains things very well and is very well written. The camera does so many things I was not familiar with and David Busch does an excellent job in his explanations. Also the book is in full color and uses excellent quality paper. This makes the book rather heavy for carrying around in your bag, but it still does not preclude me from having it with me when I am out in the field. I highly recommend this fine volume for anyone who owns the Mark ll or is considering a purchase of one. By the way, the camera is fantastic as well.

First book I ever preordered

By Beverly "Photo Bug" - October 10, 2010

This is the first book I was so anxious to get that I preordered it. I am not disappointed. While anticipating the release of Busch's book, I studied other books by various authors on the 5D Mark II as well as David's Busch's books on other camera models. I knew this was the "one." There is really nothing more to add to the earlier reviews except I agree wholeheartedly with every positive comment. I might add however, that as a senior citizen, I appreciate the type style used and the very readable examples and illustrations. The excellent quality of the paper is also what would be expected in a manual for the wonderful 5D Mark II. The manual which came with the camera was frustrating to say the least and now I am confident that I am going to be able to utilize most if not all, of the advanced features of this wonderful camera. Although I had used a Canon 35mm for years and was familiar with photograpic techniques, this camera and this manual have opened up a new world. After... read more
