  • Will Save You A Month On The Learning Curve
This book clearly and practically walks the reader through every step of setting up and using the 5D3 for the first time. A wonderfully well-organized book, it explains every feature and setting on the camera with recommendations on optimal setup choices and the reasoning behind each recommendation. Well-selected photos taken with the 5D3 make each concept crystal clear with no room for ambiguity or confusion. For such a short book, it is remarkable to me how the author manages not only to explain the complex feature set of the camera in an easy-to-follow manner, but actually teaches the fundamentals of exposure, composition and efficient use of the camera in a totally compelling and effective manner. Whether you are a novice or experienced photographer, this book will impart a huge amount of information quickly and you will save yourself weeks on the learning curve in just a few hours. The book is designed to read with the camera in your lap. As it takes you through each set of menus, you pick up the camera and press all the buttons which reinforces the information in a literally hands-on fashion that will stay with you when you're done. Though I had the camera for almost two months before getting this book, I was still muddled about where to locate settings when I needed them, or which settings I should alter. Choices between multiple metering and focusing modes, white balance issues and ISO control were giving me significant heartburn. Navigation of the menu structure and various controls still seemed fairly daunting. However, having now spent two evenings reading the book and playing with the camera, I feel that every setting is at my fingertips whenever I will need it in the future and I can easily and competently correct any issue that arises. For a camera as feature-rich as the 5D3, this is a major accomplishment. At less than $10 for the Kindle edition, this is the lowest cost, highest value accessory I could have purchased. Beyond merely teaching me the camera, it reinforced and tied together all the basic concepts of photography and actually made me a better photographer. This book makes you feel smarter and more in control with every page from start to finish. It's the best how-to book I've ever read. ... show more

  • A very goog place to start, much better than just the manual
I have the electronic version of this book on my Windows 8 PC using the Kindle reader program for the Metro interface. The reader works very well and is easy to use and read on my Surface Pro tablet. The book has been a big help learning about everything that the 5D Mark III can do and how to make it do those things. If you are moving up to the 5D III from anything that isn't already similar, you will want this as a reference. Having it on my tablet PC makes it even better because I always have my tablet as part of my camera kit. The book does a very good job of going through the entire menu system and every possible setting on the camera -- which is a lot. It does a good job of making recommendations of what settings to use when you first get the camera and why. It also explains how the settings work and interact with other settings and how you may want to adjust them over time and apply them to specific shooting situations. Overall it is clear, comprehensive, and concise. It is easy to read and understand and clearly identifies the authors preferences as well as different opinions about how and when to use various settings. You actually learn about the camera as well as about photography and how best to use the extensive set of features that are part of the 5D III. I fully recommend it. It helped me learn the camera and get more out of it much quicker than I would have without it. I plan to read it again in a couple of months. I'm sure there is still a lot there that I didn't get the first time I read it. An easy and obvious 5 stars. Having it on my tablet with me all the time adds a 6th star. ... show more

  • Not finished reading, but great so far
I am sure this will become 5 stars by the time I am done. What I like about this book is that it is very detailed and descriptive about what the features do, but beyond that, the author goes into detail about what type of environment or shots would dictate using certain features. He also makes a few recommendations as to certain standard settings to get you started (and why they might or might not work for you). Only available in digital format, but that also means that you can get the free kindle app for your phone and have the book at your fingertips wherever you go. Solid buy. ... show more

  • A quick help guide that works!
Great book to get you started with your 5D M3. Klostermann describes the various camera functions and how to apply them. Further more, he offers suggestions for adjusting camera settings that will get you up and running quickly. Since I bought the e-book version, it was easy to highlight explanations and suggestions in the e-reader so as to have quick access to them at any time. Additionally, he offers information on accessories and other books. In practice, I implemented just about all of his suggestions. I just attended Canon's seminar on the 5D M3. The presenters demonstrated the features and camera performance just as described by Klostermann. This was not a hands-on workshop but I was able to follow along with my camera in hand. So, where does that leave me? Well, I can set up my shots faster and with greater confidence in selecting camera settings to express my vision of the subject. Other books that I have are Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital Field Guide by Charlotte K. Lowrie and Canon EOS 5D Mark III by James Johnson, both of which are great reference books. However, for understanding your 5D Mark III, I recommend reading Klostermann's book first, as it can give you more control over your settings, assuming you follow the order in which he presents his material...and work through it with camera in hand. Then use the other books for specific situations, as well as to reinforce what you already know. ... show more
