Disappointed to say the least.I purchased this "Dummies" book waiting for David Busch's book to be released. I had to get to page 128 before Shutter priority was finally addressed. This book was obviously intended for beginners. But if that were so, why would a beginner purchase the newest and arguably the greatest APS-C camera on the market so far. On page 140 the paragraph heading is "Using Custom Functions". I thought, finally, let's get to the meat of the camera". But no! Here's a quote. "Unfortunately I'd have to buy my editor a year's supply of her favorite hair-coloring product if I covered every custom function."Also, he tells you how to do something, but not why you would want to do it. Not much is going to be learned about photography in this book.Now I know why they call it ...for dummies. You've got to be one to buy this thing. Unfortunately you don't find that out until AFTER you buy it.For the person that just purchased their first DSLR, and it happens to be the Canon EOS 7D Mark II, you'll be in over your head, and this book will teach you some of the basics of photography theory, and most of the functions of the camera but that's about it. It's not complete by any means.What a disappointment. If I could I would give this 2 1/2 stars AT BEST.Anybody want to buy a copy cheap?
Barely made three stars. You are not going to learn how to operate the Canon7D Mark-II from this book. Has a few good pointers. That's about it.
I was thoroughly disappointed with this book. The title should be changed to "Canon EOS 7D Mark II for Dummies Who Know Nothing About Photography, But Bought Themselves a Pro-Grade Camera." When I buy a camera-model specific book, I expect to find information specific to that model of camera. Instead, this book was padded with information on fundamentals. Most of the book consists of instruction on the basics of photography, including exposure, the rule of thirds, composition, depth of field, how to pan, how to avoid camera shake, motion blur, how to shoot landscapes, macros, portraits, how to photograph sunsets, wildlife, and defining your photographic goals. There's a lengthy section on using the full auto mode. Really? On a 7D Mark II? This isn't the Canon T5!Furthermore, whenever we approach anything a serious photographer would want to read, the author repeatedly states that space doesn't permit him to address the topic. When discussing custom functions, he says, "Unfortunately, I'd have to buy my editor a year's supply of hair coloring product if I covered every custom function." Hey, that's why I bought the book!I know this is a "For Dummies" book, but I've read many in that series that were seriously detailed. This one isn't.Unfortunately, it appears that the publisher of David Busch's excellent guides may have run into financial problems, and his book on the 7D II won't be forthcoming. Here's two alternative suggestions. You can either buy the Kindle-only Canon 7D Mark II Experience book, or if you want a paper book with Busch's level of detail, you could buy Busch's guide to the Canon 5D Mark III. Sure, it's a different camera, and there's some significant differences between them, but the menu structure of the 7D II is quite similar to that of the 5D III, and most of the advanced features work the same.
The book is informative,but the author is condescending to the reader especially for someone who owns this type of camera. He/She did not just move up from a point and shoot.. Book needed to be written in more of a straight forth manner./ Leave out the nonsensical annoying comments along the way. They are quite distracting and unnecessary. .Hope fully not all " Dummies" books are written in such a mannerI give the book three stars at best because of the manner it is written.
A well written book that covers most aspects of this complex camera. I found this book to be very useful as it explained some of the more esoteric aspects of the camera in a clear and concise fashion. I am an experienced photographer but had found some of the focusing modes on this camera rather difficult to setup in a way that I could use them easily. This book easily covered that area.Although it is a 'for Dummies' book it is aimed at all levels and should not be assumed to be for novices only. A useful, well illustrated and accurate book and will help you get the most out of your new 7D Mk II.
A new or experienced photographers best friend. Cut thru the endless pages of micro print that came with the camera or read the War and Peace version of the tech manual on your computer. Or simply purchase whatever version of "for Dummies" you may need before or with your camera order and you'll be shooting great photos with your new device right out of the box. No interpreter needed. Just clear, easy to understand instructions with plenty of photos to assist the visual learners out there.
This book has been very helpful with the use of my new camera. I am new to the photography world and I have found so many great things in this book. I have been able to make adjustments to my camera to take photos in many different settings. I have also taken great family photos for me walls. I suggest this to anyone who is new to the camera world!
