More misinformation from professionals Having previously used the 350D, 20D and 30D I recently purchased a 40D and needed a few more pointers regarding camera settings (picture styles, custom functions etc.).

Didn't know how much I didn't know Having been a keen amateur photographer for 40 years, I hoped this book would "top up" my knowledge for this advanced bit of kit. Well, just a few pages in, I realised how little I knew and very quickly was taking much better shots and working my way through the more sophisticated features. Sections on white balance, photo styles and computer editing, whilst not always specific to the 40D, are very useful indeed. Highly recommended for getting the most out of the great camera.
Best so Far This field guide will appeal to beginners through to the serious amateur. It covers all the technical stuff as well as some good guidance on photography in general. If you have recently purchased the 40D and wanted a good book then this is it. If I had to be picky then my only criticism is the continued reference to L series lenses, which whilst ideal are often out of financial reach for many. You can get some very good results with some cheaper lenses.
