This is the perfect complement for Dave's Complete Guide to the Canon 5D Mark III. This field guide fits perfectly in my camera bag and as a new user to the 5D,Mark III, I find myself referring to it often. I highly recomment this book to all 5D,Mark III users.
Whenever I purchase a new camera I make sure to order David Busch's guide concerning it. After reading guides by others, I've concluded that he has a unique talent for having his reader clearly "see" what he is talking about. Out of a complex maize of information, the functions of the camera and how to make them function comes into focus in a simple, clear manner. The information is well illustrated, organized, and given in a manner that is easy to remember when out snapping pictures. It also has a personal touch that leaves you feeling more like you've been talking with a friend than wading through a manual. I had to wait for over a year for his Canon D5 Mark iii guide to come out, and again discovered it was well worth the wait.
The Compact Field Guide for the Canon 5D Mark 3 is a well thought out reference manual. The book is spiral bound and will lay flat on a table, leaving your hands free to make camera adjustments. It is full color, well illustrated, larger and more durable than the Canon supplied manual. It is however; not so large that it will be out of place in a standard camera bag. This manual is a good example why books of this sort sell so well. The information in the manual is easy to find and many people seem to learn about the advanced features more effectively when using third party instruction manuals. David Busch Field Guide is written and organized so that it is not necessary to begin reading on page one. You may open the book to any page and learn something useful. The expanded focus point features of the Canon 5D III are powerful and they are important to master for good picture taking. David Busch explains how to use the 5DIII focus point features with good, large print, full color details. Customizing the camera's buttons and changes to the basic camera operation are also explained with the appropriate attention for the novice and seasoned photographer. There are some useful short cuts to bypass the menus and quickly get right to the changes you need. The Compact Field Guide should be the camera reference manual to include in your photog kit. Another benefit is your original Canon documents can stay at home, out of the elements and remain in good condition.
My first time buying one of Dave's books and I couldn't be more happier. It is packed with everything you need to know about operating the 5D3 and fits nicely in my camera bag when I go on the road. Another nice feature is the wirebound so you can be a little more rough with it and not have to worry about any glue coming loose and losing pages. The pages are high quality paper and all pictures are in color. Daves comedic insight also helps for easy reading and is nothing like the manual that comes with the camera. Dave goes into more detail than the Canon manual could ever give.
I'm not a fan of Canon's instruction manuals. They are basically just good enough to get you into trouble and not much good at all if you have a problem. I've bought a few different guides over the years, but now I just tend to look to see if David Busch has done one and that will be the guide I buy. I don't tend to read them cover to cover although you could. I just keep them handy and when I have an issue or I want to do something I look it up. His guides are organized well enough that I rarely have a problem finding what I am looking for and I generally find out what I wanted to know. If you buy it, I hope you are as happy with it as I am and thanks for taking the time to read my review.
David Busch is awesome at taking complexity and making it easy to understand. I've learned to put my ego in check and be willing to ask any question that can help me be a better photographer and use this awesome camera more effectively - this book answers most questions I've had! The book is well laid out and meets the needs of both experienced and relatively inexperienced photographers alike. He put the basics in the back of the book and each chapter is complete so you can study just the areas you need to learn or brush up on!
I purchased this field guide 1 week before I purchased my camera. Wanted to start getting a feel for things and it the ground running once the camera came in.So glad I did. Enjoyed the layout and the explanations behind how/when/why many of the settings were for and how to use them.Guide fits nicely inside my camera bag and will travel with me.If you are new to the 5D Mark III as I am, then you will want to throw this into your arsenal.
Wish I would have bought this three years ago. If you own this camera you must buy this book! Makes so much sense and easy to understand. This is a complex imaging tool, any thing to make using all the functions easier is a must have.
