I am eagerly awaiting delivery of a 5DMarkiii (upgrading from a 7D) and want to invest in a "user-friendly" guide book to supplement the manual to help me learn how to use my new camera -- does anyone have any recommendations?

Much appreciated!

Congrats Luvsadog

You can never go wrong with the Magic Lantern Guides. I got one for Christmas, and had some good stuff in it

I have the Kosterman and David Busch's book as e-books (kindle version) on my ipad and iphone. I like them both and it's nice to have them with me all the time, be it a boring train ride or a question out in the field.


40D, 5D3, a bunch of lenses and other things :cool:

Honestly, coming from a 7D I think you'll figure it out pretty quickly. It's pretty much a 7D on steroids (except fps) with a FF sensor.

Thanks for the tip, hopefully that will happen :o)
