Canon EOS 40D. Good Manual?

Misty · 8 May 2008

I am upgrading to a Canon EOS 40D. Can anyone recommend a good manual? Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this question? :thinking:

Regards, Misty.

You can't go much wrong with the CanonEurope youtube videos;

Thanks, arepeejee. I will certainly have a look

I see that there are a number of books on the Canon EOS 40D on amazon. Can anyone recommend one. Regards, Misty

Hello Misty

Being new to DSLR photography, I was bought the Canon EOS 40D guide to digital SLR photography by David D Busch, which I believe was ordered via Amazon.

Whilst I haven't finished it yet, I am on page 217 and I have found it to be very useful and it certainly expands upon the cameras own manual, so I would certainly recommend it.

Thanks Frank. I agree these forums are excellent. Still looking for a good book though. May be handy up a mountain :LOL:
