David Busch's Canon EOS 80D Guide to Digital SLR Photography (The David Busch Camera Guide Series) Paperback – September 19, 2016

Talk about detailed and authoritative... this guide is packed with what you need to know about your mega-capable 80D.I had owned the original Digital Rebel since it came out. Have a lot of great photos to show for it. but this is an upgrade to a computer with a lens and shutter. Many similar features, but so many added ones. I know, its been a lot of years, so I shouldn't be surprised. I think the Live View mode and remote capability via iPhone is going to be excellent for capturing blue birds and humming birds in flight. I've already got some very detailed shots of wading birds and the increased pixel density is excellent.The guide layout is a bit confusing at first, since there are so many teases and forward references. But in the Kindle version you can just click the link and zoom forward. That literary technique does allow the author to cover the capabilities and controls layer by layer, but if you want to cut straight to the how to, you can. I do want to get a paperback of this guide to keep in the bag. It likely will have lots of sticky notes and tabs that I add to get quickly to the how to pages.In short, I highly recommend this guide, and of course the EOS 80D.

Book details all abilities of this great camera. All operations are explained in detail

Lots of Great info. Illustrations very clear

Very useful. I carry this with me in my camera bag as reference. I have had many cameras over many years but the 80D has so many menus and features I need a book like this to learn how to best use all those features. I prefer this to the "80D for Dummies" book I also bought. This book seems better organized so the info I want is easier to find.

This is an informative and helpful book. I would like to see more content on Radio/wireless flash since that is by far the best way to go with multi-flash setups. I think Mr. Busch probably has a book that covers that topic available but I would have liked seeing it in this book since he “opened the can” on the topic here. A little less hard sell for canon flashes would be nice as there are other brands available for a lot less money that work beautifully on Canon EOS cameras. I was referred to Godox flashes by a PRO and glad I took his advice. This book filled in some gaps that “Canon 80D for dummies” didn’t cover.

Great book, but need time to soak it all in. Mr. Busch is obviously a camera master. Trying to learn how to use the 80D is overwhelming at first. My suggestion is to go out and use it on automatic mode, and then read a bit use a new mode, and then repeat. Eventually, you can work yourself up to the manual/semi-manual mode. I like this book because you can jump around to learn everything from basic to advance camera techniques an issues. This is not a book you read from cover to cover, but more of a reference manual for what you what to learn right now. It's such a thorough resource, I highly recommend it.

All I can say is that it is an excellent book! I recently purchased a canon 80D and I was overwhelmed when I actually got my hands on the camera! The instruction manual is so small and can be confusing to say the least. Then I found this book online line and it has been tremendous help. He covers every aspect of the camera with an easy to understand method! I would recommend this book to everyone!

I've bought his book with every camera. His books are a easy understanding
