Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Field Guide Paperback – August 10, 2009

This is my third purchase of a Field Guide product as I have upgraded digital cameras. This book is a very complete guide on what some of the additional features, that we sometimes don't get a chance or remember how to use. This book helps to explain and expand how to use the features from the mfg's manual. HIghly recommended from me.

Purchased used as gift for son. Quick delivery, great condition, nice price. Thanks

Brian McLernon gives credit to no less than Nineteen people for their help in producing this book. It is apparent that the book is aimed at amateurs and professional who are obsessed with their new Mark II and are reaching for the stars (people like me).Don't let me kid you. It is going to take me at least a whole year before I can learn by applying the lessons taught in this book. My present level is reflected in my ownership of a Canon EOS Rebel XSi. And I haven't even mastered that camera yet.This Digital Field Guide actually covers applications of all the features of the 5D Mark II. If you already own or are thinking of buying this camera, you need this book. Don't even think about it. Just buy it. Heck, it cost next to nothing.

If you take the time to read the CD manual, or download the online version, you will get the same information as what's in this book. There are other, much better books on the market that offer, not only explanations, but personal insight on getting the best photographs from this camera. Having said the above, this is written in a softer, a little more user friendly, than Canon's manuals, which can be somewhat technical, but again, if you're looking for insight and not just function, look around.

Quick ship, very good condition, thanks

Excellent adjunct information for the Canon 5d Mark II or III...I also recommend the Magic Lantern Guide.

the book tries to sell canon....I have many old lenses.....leica r and zeis,kodak, etc.....one angeneaux......all these need an adapter ring.....the focus confirm is very confusing.....I am NOT A ZOOM PERSON....90% of all this book is about canon zoom lenses.....it does however show all about how to use the d5mk2......I find a wonderful camera......some one please write a book on using other lenses....in time I will figure it all out I guess.....wide angle lenses are for full frame cameras....basic reason for purchase......

I truly needed help learning about this wonderful full frame camera and this guide offers insight into the camera, and the ways to use the menus and items to their fullest. I keep it near to refresh the options when I go out to do something special.
