A friend recommended this and he sat for a few days and tried out some of the new features and quickly learned a few things. He takes it slow. He really likes this book as its much easier to follow than the manual. When we left the U.S. for the Middle East in January; he left this book behind. I ordered him another so now he has no excuse for leaving his expensive camera sitting in its bag and not taking pictures of the beautiful sunsets we see.8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Handy Extended Reference for Canon EOS 6DBy Desert PeepCanon EOS 6D Digital Field Guide is a convenient hands-on reference to supplement Canons pdf users guide. I dont know about you; I still like having a physical book in my hands when it comes to complex product instruction manuals.As with other Digital Field Guides in the series; this book is well organized and intuitively digs deeper into a number of 6D features which require such detail. I appreciate the examples cited to bring relevancy to these features.By virtue of the authors clarity thoroughness; I discovered and now employ a number of features I would have otherwise ignored. I also have gained clear understanding of other features I previously had limited knowledge. The sum of learning understanding these features have expanded my field technique and "chops".I now use the Canon EOS 6D Digital Field Guide as my primary "go to" reference. Overall; a nice; solid reputable reference book for your Canon EOS 6D.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Very HelpfulBy MarcThe 6D is my first DSLR; so I have a lot to learn. I really like this book because unlike some other books that supposedly cover the details of a specific camera; this one actually does provide significant help and info for 6D users. There is some general photography stuff included; but for the most part it focuses on showing how to get the most out of the 6D. I think Ive been able to find an answer to every question Ive had over the past several months pretty quickly with this book.
