It really is the best book on the 7d II out there. For some reasons the usual publishers have been slow to update their guides. Besides, I have found that nearly all Canon dSLR books reuse content and focus way too much on functional operation rather than photographic operation. It's not hard to learn what the buttons do, it IS hard (and fun) to learn how to to use the camera to make good pictures your book covers that part very well. Buy the For Dummies book if you are really starting from scratch, otherwise, this one is the way to go. Kindle Short and simple, there are very few guides out there for the 7D Mk2 camera. And maybe, it's because the camera is unlike any other Canon we've seen. Some have said that its controls are similar to the 5D Mk1/2/3 series. I can't say but I do know that I found myself wanting as I transitioned from a 70D and 6D to the 7D Mk2. I seemed to spend an inordinate amount of time searching for equivalent functions within the menu system and focusing constituted its own unique challenge. Back to guides, so I went searching for help. There was a Dummy guide and another gray covered waste of time and money. David Busch seemed to suggest that he was working on something but it seemed to change types and finally I gave up. Then I stumbled across this ebook for the Kindle. I would have much preferred a pdf for versatility sake, but jumped to purchase it anyway. I wish I would've come across this earlier. What a wealth of well explained information on the functions of this camera. I dare say it is serving as an invaluable general information and guidance source that should satisfy the most detailed nuts and bolts shooter to someone that just wants to know the basics and take some pictures. Like the review headline says, finally a useful resource for this remarkable and extraordinary camera. Highly recommended.
Update Even though I am still a huge fan of the book, I would have appreciated a stronger discussion of flash setup and the inclusion of a linked index. Kindle Very useful guide when using the Canon 7D Mark II camera. Having upgraded from a Canon 3Ti to the Cannon 7D, there is quite a learning curve or perhaps of a additional features learning curve. There are so many features built into the 7D that can make your pictures great automatically, or by using this book, the operator can make great pictures of their own styling after following guideline settings set forth in this book. I read the book first just to get a feel for it, then, read it again, with camera in hand to follow along. I have been taking pictures for almost 5 decades and still learned a few things, but it is designed in setting up your menus for your particular style of shooting. I have loaded this book on my i Pod as well as my kindle, to have handing when out in the field as a handy reference. Kindle This is an excellent guide for making the most of your new Canon 7D MkII. My 7D was an upgrade from a Canon Rebel T3i while some of the controls are generally similar, the 7D is a much sophisticated camera with a huge number of options. Understanding these is essential for getting the most out of your photography. This book walks the reader through all of the settings one by one and shows how to set each option for different types of photography.
The 7D has amazing buffering capacity and is ideal for shooting action/wildlife photography long after my T3i would have had me waiting to take another picture I am still shooting dozens of continuous high speed action shots of birds and wildlife with this camera. Along with that capacity come a whole range of autofocus modes and zone selections best suited for different purposes. This book has both a quick look menu for setting all of the many menu options for a particular purpose and also walks the reader through all of these options in detail.
The only limitation when I initially received this was the format this book is only available on the Kindle. While I enjoy reading novels electronically, I find it difficult to use guidebooks with figures in this format. When I commented on this in the discussion for this book, the author offered to provide the book as a PDF file. This extended the utility quite a bit for me, since I had the PDF printed and bound. I have now been thoroughly through this hard copy a couple of times and tabbed the key pages, which I find a lot easier than trying to digest in digital format. From that version, I will now probably bookmark the most important pages and points on the digital file as well, for easy access when I am traveling. As we have a Serengeti safari planned, the marked digital version of this will certainly be along for the ride, in case I have any questions regarding tweaking the settings on the camera. Kindle I bought this shortly after buying the camera because the camera is so complex and the Canon instruction manuals are very light. The book is helpful to new owners of the camera trying to get it set up properly as well as experienced users trying to understand technical aspects of camera features. I still go back to the book periodically to research camera features and am continually learning something new about the camera from the book. While the e version is a little challenging when you need to go back and forth between different sections, it is much practical to take with you on vacations, etc. I highly recommend the book. Kindle

Canon 7D Mark II Experience - The Still Photography Guide to Operation and Image Creation with the Canon EOS 7D Mark II
Excellent addition to the 'user manual' supplied by Canon, although I'm still working my way through it. It would be really good if someone could take the info in here and put it into a video format faster and easier to learn from, as this requires a lot of trudging through the basic descriptions of each possible function. Still VERY useful, and at a reasonable price. Kindle This book was very instrumental in me becoming familiar with my new camera. Now, I am a professional, and have used Canon dSLR's for years. It was still very well written so one could understand the functions of the camera. It does not go into or about taking pictures, but how to use your camera to take better pictures. I highly recommend to all to read this book. Mine was online. Kindle If you really wan't to set up and understand the workings of your Canon 7D Mark II, this book is what you need. It takes you step by step going through the menu with explanation and recommendations for each item. This provides a guide to the best performance of the camera. A must for all those interested in utilizing the camera to the fullest. I give it my highest recommendation. Kindle This should be required reading for all 7D II owners. I can't praise it highly enough. A 1,000 times better than trying to tackle the manual. Kindle this book was helpful and if you ar new to photography I would def recommend to get this book as it has some camera functionalities description and other information about your new camera! I also went to the photography course to have a better understanding how it works! Kindle
