Take great shots with the Canon 7D! From Snapshots to Great Shots is an innovative approach that focuses on the shot, not the gear.
Goes beyond a tour of the camera's capabilities to teach you how to take great photos and shoot HD video with your Canon 7D!
Beautiful images, clear design, friendly and knowledgeable voice.
Not a rehash of the confusing, textbook-style camera manual (like so much of the competition)
Both a replacement for and a step-up from Canon's popular 50D DSLR, the Canon 7D is a powerful camera intended for everyone from beginners to advanced amateurs to professionals alike. Influential blogger Scott Bourne (photofocus.com) dubbed this camera the best DSLR less than $2000 for all of 2009, saying that this camera 'will be tough to beat for a long time.' This book is for anyone who upgrades from their point-and-shoot, or for anyone who wants to jump into photography with the control and capabilities of a powerful DSLR. There's the manual, of course, as well as competing books, and while they all explain, often in 400+ pages, what the camera can do, none of them shows exactly how to use the camera to create great images! This book has one goal: to teach Canon 7D owners how to make great shots using their camera. Everything in the book is in service of creating a great image. Starting with the top ten things needed to know about the camera, photographer Nicole Young then carefully guides readers through the modes of the camera. Users get practical advice from a pro on which settings to use when, great shooting tips, and even end-of-chapter assignments. The 7D is available now. Features include: 18MP sensor; 8 frames per second continuous shooting; wireless flash control; 1080p HD video recording; 19- point auto focus; and more. In addition, many consider its HD video capabilities as the best on the market for DSLRs.
