I was hoping to buy a college course style book. The best book would assume no previous knowledge and go thru advanced subjects in a smooth transition. |

What's the best how-to book on the Canon 20D? The problem I have with this question is that I really don't understand why anybody would want a whole book on a specific camera in the first place. (Yes, I see the point of a reference manual like what's shipped with the camera.) Seems to me the best learning resource (as asked for in the subject, as opposed to the different question you ask in the body) is something like Ansel Adams' basic photo series, or perhaps something more modern. Depending on what it is you really need to learn. Very few of the interesting things that are the slightest bit hard to learn are specific to any one camera. |

As George Bush says, "This ain't rocket surgery." But such a book would make a great text for a Bush League course. And then some might say that the "best how-to book on the Canon 20D" would be titled "How To Painlessly Upgrade Your 20D to a 5D". |

That title would be a lie - the pocket would end up heavily bandaged. -- Neil Reverse 'r' and 'a', delete 'l' for email. |

Are you brand new to photography, or just to digital, or to the 20D alone? I'd browse my local library and see what clicks with you, until we have a better picture of your knowledge and aspirations. -- John McWilliams |
