As a hobbyist looking to take my skills to the next level, I upgraded to the 70D from an xTi. Canon's manual is not awful, but with so many new features to learn (WiFi connections, video, live view and touchscreen, advanced custom autofocus functions) I thought I could benefit from a third-party book as well, and so I purchased this book.There's much to like in this book. Although some details in the early chapters are repeated from the camera's manual (such as the map of camera buttons, ports, and controls), this information is easier to read and better illustrated; most topics in the rest of the book go well beyond the camera's manual. The author supplements explanations with high-quality color photos and tips and anecdotes from his personal experience; he also does a nice job in most places of explaining not only how to use a feature, but why.STRENGTHS:It is not easy to write a book intended to satisfy a wide audience with varying skill levels and experience, but I think there is something in this book for everyone. Here's a sampling of topics I thought were particularly detailed and helpful:- Good treatment of metering methods (evaluative, partial, spot, center-weighted), with photos that illustrate which method to use for a given lighting situation, as well as helpful examples of when to use exposure modes (aperture priority, program mode, etc.
Another MUST have companion book for any 70D owner - As always, the Canon Factory manuals are about as helpful and user friendly as deciphering hieroglyphics on a cave wall via candlelight - Sorry Canon, but the included factory manual is a bit much and too difficult to quickly navigate to specific reference material - I've always joked that Canon needs to include a 'user guide & manual' on the actual camera manual because it's always so dryly written and complicated for the amateur and a yawn for the semi pro/pro - That's where David Busch steps in and saves the day -Whether you're an experienced pro with a vast working knowledge of photography that understands the Zone system, focal lengths, shutter speed and aperture and the relation between the two, ISO, and the Kelvin scale OR just a regular person looking for a user friendly guide to explain their new camera in a language that everyone can comprehend, this is the go to book and guide -Don't even bother with the official Canon manual - Set it in the bookcase and forget about it (I stopped telling people to set fire and/or shred the official Canon factory manual because when you upgrade cameras and decide to sell the old one on Ebay, it's best to have the manual) - At any rate, David Busch's guide on the 70D is another winner - It's loaded with detailed info on everything the camera does, complete with charts, reference material and examples - He not only shows the 'how' but also includes the 'why' part - Followed up by examples in a detailed, well written and clear (but not long) language that won't confuse the beginner/casual photographer or bore the experienced guys out there - Each chapter covers a specific topic, camera function or setting - No vague nondescript ramblings that jump all over the book -
