Canon Quick Guides

[MX5]

Canon DLC have released the start (hopefully) of a series of Quick Guides.

Just thought I'd share.

Re: Canon Quick Guides

I think this is a nice thing for Canon to do. But I'm skeptical that it's going to help me really solve my problems when I am having trouble with a camera and some particular concept.

I now delay purchasing a new model (the last was the 50D...and where is that 60D I'm still hoping for???) until the David Busch guide comes out. That allows Canon a couple of production runs to get the kinks out, and I just find that I need a comprehensive guide to really learn my camera.

I think one of keys as to how effective these quick guides will be is whether they are "different" than what Canon has already published about that particular aspect. When I'm having trouble understanding something about how my camera works, I need to see a different person write about. Often when someone explains something differently from someone else, that's when the light goes on.

But again, I think Canon does understand consumer needs, and I pat them on the back for this effort.

Thanks

Thanks for the "heads up" on that. I have dowloaded and printed off a copy of each and look forward to many more.

Personally, I think Busch's books are probably the best written guides to using particular higher-end camera models. He's very good at writing explanations and organizes his books well. As someone pointed out, readily available on Amazon, and usually he comes out with a book for a new model in a relatively quick time period.
