Reviews
For starters I'm in between a novice and a pro with several hundred thousand photos under my belt and a pretty good knowledge of my (dated) Rebel XTi. After finally realizing my dream of owning an EOS 6D (yeah!) the reality set in that there were a number of features that I didn't have experience with or understand, that I wouldn't master from reading the manual, and that even if I figured it out I'd probably not be utilizing it to the fullest extent. I wanted a book that didn't just repeat the information in the manual, gave insight into the ways a pro would use the feature in real life, and didn't spend time in other areas like photo composition, etc. If this sounds familiar then this is the book for you!I found David Busch's coverage of the camera and associated features very well organized, logical, and at the appropriate depth. It's a great reminder of things you may already know (e.g. Tv and Av modes) to things you may not have realized (like how the two different focus systems work and their strengths/weaknesses). For instance, I never knew that the focus dots had a vertical, horizontal (or both) orientation but ALAS it immediately explained why I had that hard time focusing on that subject the other day!This book goes through your EOS 6D from top to bottom, but does it in a logical and intuitive way. His writing style is plain and effective which makes even the most difficult features easy to digest.I think the best summary was stated somewhere before along these lines: the manual tells you what the features do, but if you want to know when/how to use those features you will need a good book and this is the one!
