I've been taking photographs for 45 years, but have always thought I could learn more about the craft, so I've amassed quite a library on the subject of photography. Julie Adair King's 'Canon EOS 70D for Dummies' is the latest addition as a guide to getting the most out of my newest DSLR. A good portion of the books addresses basic photography concepts (something I like to review on almost a weekly basis), but the author does a fine job of relating each of these concepts to the 70D. Like all of the other Dummies, and Idiots publications this book has hints, tips, and cautions in the margins which sometimes take the reader of the immediate track. Also, like many books the narrative about a particular photo illustration (mostly about menu options) is not always found on the same page as the illustration. However, that's a very minor complaint. King obviously knows her DSLRs, and does a very good job of walking the 70D owner through the camera's capabilities, and provides enough experienced based information to make the book useful not only to the novice, but to the enthusiast as well.

This follows the path of King's earlier guides to Canon cameras. Her presentation is very accessible yet detailed at the same time. I cannot speak for the printing, but the EBook is an thorough introduction to the many new features of thsi camera.

BOOKS are for me SOMETIMES much better than online guides. I find it somewhat easier to immediately go to my favorite page if I need to refresh my short term "sometimes less than stellar 'memory'!. HOWEVER, it is nice to be able to enlarge print and illustrations using the online content. So each has its benefit and that helps this old geezer."CANON EOS 70D for DUMMIES" is typical of the series that covers virtually anything I need help in mastering. Ms. King has done a fie job of systematically going through the 70D and addressing all aspects that are VERY NEW to me (Digital) (ISO) etc. FINE JOB and a GREAT reference that refer to often.

I recently upgraded from a T5i to the 70d, and purchased two other books about the 70d - one was over simplified and the other was just a headache to read. This book is just enjoyable to read and understand, and you'll be mastering your 70d in no time.

I am a professional portrait photographer. This camera is new to me so I wanted something that worked easily for quick learning where I was unfamiliar. Canon has great cameras and the 70D is definately a favorite for the price. Julie Adair King gives all you need to learn the settings used on this camera. It is a great book for a basic beginner as well as a great reference book for someone more knowledgeable but maybe not with this particular camera. I highly recommend it to anyone who purchases a Canon EOS 70D

This is a great book for photographers that are just starting out. It explains a lot of the basics and also all details you need to know about your canon 70ds. it is easy to read. quality print with nice colors through out the book.

great book and has tons of information. Anything you need to know and more about your canon 70D. this book taught me a lot of things about my camera that I probably would have never know. I would recommend this book to anyone who wanted all the in and outs of their camera.

I really found this book to be useful for the novice photography and a person new to this specific camera (Canon EOS 70D). It gave very basic information up through more complex concepts. It presented the information in a manner where it flowed well and built upon previous concepts. It is a great read and a wonderful reference for anyone struggling with this camera.
