 great book... November 11, 2008
Great book...unless you read Greek(re. the camera's user manual)this is a must have...I automatically get a Magic Lantern Guide when I get a new camera.
Camera Manual June 5, 2008

A definite improvement and a must over the manual that comes with the camera. I read both manuals cover to cover and the Magic Latern book is a much better explanation of the operation of this digital camera.
 Best guide for advanced non-professional so far July 20, 2008
I am transitioning to digital as it has become difficult to find quality labs to handle film, it is quite different to get used to this change and this is the best of the several guides I have used so far.
Excellent and comprehensive guide to the 40D March 23, 2008

Magic Lantern Guides: Canon EOS 40D (Magic Lantern Guides)
I am surpised by the less than enthusiastic reviews of this book. I have owned all the Digital Rebels to date and a few months back bought a 40D. This book has been an excellent description and discussion of the various features of the 40D. I especially like Rob Shepards approach of giving detailed descriptions often followed up by a clearly differentiated "insider view" opinion of where and when he finds a particular feature useful. True, a larger format and color might be prettier but I have found this to be the book that makes me comfortable with this excellent camera. This will be the book that travels with the camera.
Adequate, but there are better 40D guides February 21, 2008

I have switched over to Canon from the Nikon world, and am eager to learn everything I can, so I bought this book, even though I purchased an earlier guidebook for the 40D in November. This book really adds nothing.
As with all Magic Lantern Guides, this one is comprehensive, going over everything you'll find in the official manual in a little more detail. The organization is better, too. If you want basic explanations of features and settings, this book is entirely adequate.
However, I think the day of the pocket-sized, black and white guidebook has come and gone. A much better approach is that taken by books like Canon EOS 40D Guide to Digital Photography. It's a full-sized book, with most of its 350 pages illustrated with full color example pictures and color representations of the most important menu screens, etc. The first three chapters explain the 40D features and set-up, like the Magic Lantern Guide, but the rest of the book deals with how to use the camera to take great photos with this camera.
If you need a pocket guide with all the basic information, this Magic Lantern Guide is probably your best bet (I have not seen the Digital Field Guide yet.) It should be much more convenient to use than any DVD tutorial.
