As compared to the camera's manual, I was hoping that this book would explain in a more comprehensive manner the camera's function (i.e. give practical advice). As it turns out, it does nothing more than paraphrase the manual. I found it to be a complete waste of money and would not recommend it to anyone except those that have lost their manual.

This book was a complete waste of $20. The EOS 7 has so many features, but very few of them are explained in this book any better than the manual. These folks should be embarassed to sell this for the price. I now know why they're sealed in plastic wrap at the bookstore -- to prevent you from actually seeing inside before purchasing... For other cameras I own, I've found the Short Course in Photography series by Dennis Curtin to be great resources. I don't think they have one on the EOS 7 however.

When I had bought Canon Elan 7E, I got quite overwhelmed by the miriad of buttons, options, and possibilities that the camera provides. I read the little booklet that came with the camera, but did not feel much relief. I thought a thicker, more detailed book will help. NOT THIS ONE! What I found inside were pages and pages of useless paraphrasing of what the little booklet had, minus the comparative pictures that show the effect, plus major technical inacuracies on top of that! For people who want to learn how to use Canon, I'd recommend the "EOS Magazine" from England.
