[Jonathan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Solid companion book to the skimpy user manual. Goes into some depth with the amazing number of features available with the 60D. Has the odd detour, like several pages on storyboarding a movie(?), but more than a rote feature by feature discussion.

[William C. Montgomery · Rating 2 out of 5]

Most of this book is obviously copied and pasted from other Busch books and the 60D specific information is still so generic that one wonders if the author has even used the camera. Still, like all books of its ilk it is good for reference and it is far more complete than the Canon user manual.

[Brad Johnson · Rating 4 out of 5]

A well written, easy to follow book with a fine level of detail. The author makes this rather complicated piece of equipment much easier to use. If you want to learn how to use a 60D, this is the book to get.

A nice point of reference for new users of the Cannon EOS60, simple and easy however I felt it lacked in areas.
