    These videos are very thourough on explaining the use and setting up of the cameras. much easier than trying to read a manual and follow them. this Video explains the settings and what they are for and under what curcumstances you will need them. very good.


    4 out of 5 stars Very helpful book   June 3, 2008

    This was a very helpful book. Had the pictures been in color, I think I would have given it 5 stars. The CD was helpful also.

    All in all except for only black and white pictures, and having to have a computer handy for a lot of things, it was a good book.

    Also the price was a bit steep for what I got.



    4 out of 5 stars FUNCIONA, especialmente si eres de los que nunca leen el manual de instrucciones   June 3, 2008

    Tenia mis dudas al pricipio antes de comrarlo, pero el video es extremadamente didactico
    Te explica, aunque en breve cada funcion de la camara, con ejemplos de las distintas situaciones en el momento de hacer una foto.
    Te ayuda a aprender a tu ritmo.
    y te da tips que no vienen en el manual
    realmente vale la pena.
    solo un pequeno detalle, en algunos capitulos se queda un tanto corto, pero creo que te da la base para seguir experimentando por tus propios medios.
    El video cumple su objetivo: SACAR EL MAYOR PROVECHO DE TU CAMARA.

    This book is so much better then the manual that comes with the 40D, as a result I hardley ever use the Canon manual.


    2 out of 5 stars Canon 40D Introduction   May 3, 2008

    Well, let me first say that the item arrived fairly quickly (2 weeks to Australia) and arrived in pristine condition. The DVD cover itself looks well presented. The DVD looks like it was mass printed with only the name of the disk on it. From there it really went downhill. I'm new to DSLR photography and have had my 40D for 3 months. However, I'm not a noob to photography principals and really wanted a hands on 40D specific walkthrough. The presentation and the graphics and audio is all top quality and that was fine. The presenter looked a bit like a robot and sounded a lot like Troy McClure which was VERY annoying. The presentation is much more an intro photography rather than the 40D, they only just touch on the simple and rather obvious features of the 40D. There's no real in depth tutorials on how to employ the 40D in different environments or situations. Like I said they talk a lot about the important issues of very basic photography but I didn't learn anything novel that I didn't pick from the manual and after a week or two of mucking with my 40D or searching for 40D on YouTube. For this reason I was VERY disappointed and feel a bit ripped off. This would be more suited for someone who has never picked up a digital camera and happens to be learning on a 40D.
