Book Reviews of Magic Lantern Guides: Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Book Review: Complete but lacking...
Summary: 3 Stars
I picked up this guide to help me (a hobby-photographer) get the most out of his new Canon EOS 5D-Mark 2 camera. Sure, Canon sells it with a manual. I already know what most of the camera modes are for. I know to set autofocus, how to adjust the aperture, and even take movies with the camera already.
What I was looking for was a book that would teach me more about what the camera could do, including some insider secrets and tips.
Instead, the book is pretty much just a well-written manual about the camera itself. Occasionally the author offers a tip or two, but so much of the book is general enough it might able to be recycled for another guide for another (similar) camera.
I didn't find anything wrong with the content or think it was wrong. It's just that what I got out of it wasn't as much as I had hoped.
This book will be great for someone who wants a more carefully written manual than what Canon provides. If you want something to help your photography that can tell you what to do on your specific model, this book won't be your primary source. In hindsight, more practice and face time with a professional photographer might have been a better recipe for me.
