This new series of books continues to shape up as one of the most useful, and first actual new addition to the camera guide format that we've seen. What Busch has done is create a companion to his full size camera guides in the form of an ultra-compact spiral-bound book that's a condensation of the most essential information you need to operate your Canon EOS 60D camera. Unlike the manual furnished with the camera, or those laminated cheat sheets that fold out into six index card sized tabs with one-sentence summaries of most of the menu settings, Busch's Compact Field Guide series provides clear, easy to understand guidance in a most convenient format. Its contents include:
Chapter 1. Quick Setup Guide. Hand your camera and this book to any newbie, and they'll be off and shooting in minutes. It shows how to adjust the viewfinder to their vision, format a memory card, choose the right exposure mode (with a paragraph describing each mode and when to use it), how -- and why -- to select a metering mode, followed by lucid explanations of selecting autofocus, autofocus area modes, white balance, and ISO settings. There's a quick guide to navigating through and reviewing the images you've just shot, as well as a quick guide to flash. These are just the basics, and the typical shooter will probably refer to this chapter just once, when they begin using the camera.
Chapter 2. Canon EOS 60D Roadmap. This 28-page chapter is filled with large photographs of the camera from multiple views, with a paragraph describing what each and every control does, and why it's used. The manual furnished with the 60D gives you black and white drawings and cross references to multiple pages buried deep in the manual.
Chapter 3. Shooting and Playback Menu settings.
I bought this field guide not being sure what I was going to get. Now having done a comparison of this book with the Canon 60d manual that came with the camera, I can report that it is a very useful companion to the manual.
If you are setting up a new 60d, my recommendation is to use both the manual and the field guide together. Generally speaking, the manual does a better job of presenting the basics because it uses both illustrations and text while the field guide uses mostly text, but the field guide nicely complements the manual by often giving more information than the manual which helps you decide what to choose between the alternatives for each setting. The material is presented in a concise manner so you don't have to wade through a lot of superfluous stuff to find the meat you are looking for.
Because the manual and the field guide are organized differently and do not match page for page, my suggestion when setting up the camera is to use chapters 3 and 4 as the starting point then check in the index of the manual for the material it has on the setting you are focused on before you make your decision. My first thought it was better to do the reverse, but when going through the process of setting up my new 60d I found it worked better to follow the order of the field guide
If I could only have one or the other, I would probably take the Canon 60d manual, but using both together is much better than relying on either one alone. And the field guide may be a better choice to carry in your camera bag if you just want a quick reminder of what button(s) you should press or dials you should turn to achieve your purpose in the field.
