Overview
The successor to Canon's popular EOS 50D DSLR, the Canon 60D is
a powerful camera intended for advanced amateurs to
semi-professionals who want to jump into photography with the
control and capabilities of a DSLR--but without the high price.
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 60D owners how to make great
shots using your camera. Starting with the top ten things you need
to know about the 60D--charging your battery, setting your ISO,
reviewing your photos, and more--professional photographer Nicole
S. Young then carefully guides you through the modes of the camera,
offering practical advice on choosing your settings, expert
shooting tips, and end-of-chapter "challenges" to get you up and
running with your 60D.

"primer on 60D and refresher on photo principles" - by smtfish on 29-JUN-2011
Reviewer Rating:
This book contains a nice mix of photo tips for the beginner- or in my case, served as a refresher for someone who has progressed over the last 30 years from point and shoot and SLR on film, back to point and shoot on digital and now returning to SLR (but on digital). The book also includes a short section on capturing video.
Although, I'm sure the books in the series have some overlap in terms of the basics (smart publishing strategy IMHO), this book clearly demonstrates how to use and set the Canon 60D to function in common usage scenarios that most photographers will encounter.
I found it to be written in an easy-to-read format and I breezed through the book in a few nights of reading.
