I have quickly read through some parts of this book, which I feel is appropriate since it is essentially a reference book on the 7D; a replacement for the Canon manual, but much easier on the eyes. Okay, its also more readable, larger book, fonts, pictures, etc. Definitely a more pleasant experience compared to the plain old official manuals. What follows is the review I wrote for the more extensive David Busch's Canon EOS 7D Digital SLR Photography. Of the two books though, I feel most of us should certainly buy the smaller Compact Field Guide for the 7D, though I would recommend both books; at some point you will want to explore all the advanced features of this DSLR and the larger book goes deeper into its workings.A few years ago, when I bought my first DSLR the Canon XSi/450D, I ordered a couple of books on it and found David Busch's book very informative, helpful and most of all, readable. I hardly ever needed to look at the Canon manual. For my old eyes, the Canon manual is not the first choice.And now I got the Canon EOS 7D a couple of weeks ago, I immediately ordered both of David Busch's books. His 7D Field Guide is a concise reference, very handy and pretty comprehensive. I did take a quick look at it and kept it aside for occasional reference whenever I need it.His Canon 7D Guide to Digital SLR Photography has 473 pages. Happily its a very readable guide and trust me, unless you are an old hand at DSLR's, you need this book. I have read about 200 pages already, and do find quite a bit of stuff which I know well enough, but more information specific to the 7D, which is absolutely a must-know.
