A must have if you own a Canon 40D SLR:

If you own a 40D Canon SLR this is one book you must have. It not only explains how to use the myriad of features on this great camera but why to use them. Goes way beyond the owners manuel.

David Busch explains 40D very well:

I chose this book at recommendations of book buyers as well as Canon forum contributers and am not sorry. I recently bought the Canon 40D DSLR from Amazon and bought this book at same time as an introduction to the camera's use. Factory manuals often are too brief and dry (okay for later reference). Mr. Busch's explanations are clear and concise. Thanks, David Busch!!
I'm "double happy"!

EOS 40D Guide:

Wouldn't own the 40D without this guide. A must have! Esp for the amateur. Still advised for pro and amateur alike.

excellent book:

the book is very easy to read and understand, it is simple and covers everything you would like to know about this camera.
