Cannon How To Books

[Woobstr112G]

I recently purchased a Rebel X2I (550D) off of Ebay (I know it doesn't have a US warranty, but the deal was too good to pass up). I did this to upgrade from my 30D; wanted the 7D but couldn't afford it:(. I would really like to learn my new camera inside and out so I am looking for a good after market how to book. Can someone please suggest a good one. When I bought my 30D, I never really mastered all the things I could do with it and I want my new camera experience to be different.

 

Thanks in advance for your replies.....:):):)

I have purchased David Busch canon guides from amazon for my canon t1i and my canon g11 and have been happy with both.

Nice camera. These sites have a lot of good information, and don't be afraid to ask questions.

X2 I had this for both my XSI and my new 7d.

I've purchased the Short Courses Guides for a couple of my cameras:

Not specific to Canon, but I would recommend a couple of books that seemed to be almost universally recommended by photography web sites:

 

Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson

The Digital Photography Book by Scott Kelby (actually, a series of 3 books)

 

Neither will give you the details of what each of the various settings are in your camera's menu. Both though provide a lot of detailed examples based on Canon and Nikon equipment, and definitely helped me figure out how to better take advantage of the power in my camera (Canon 7D).
