    I'm actually reading this great "How To" book from cover to cover. I've already learned many great tips that I didn't know before. If I could only have one book on this great camera, this would be the one.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Helpful for beginners but probably not for most 5d users
    Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    First off, it is a beautiful-looking book. It just wasn't very helpful to me and, I suspect, it would not be very informative for many 5d purchasers. The book reads, content-wise, like a primer for someone new to DSLRs. Given the cost of the 5d, it is not likely to be many people's first camera. There are better primers on the general topics of composition and exposure, as well as better books on the specific functions/benefits of the 5d mkiii compared to other DSLRs. So, ultimately I cannot recommend the book.

    I find the user guides that come with cameras are almost useless and this book more than fills the void.

    The manual is very comprehensive but like most manuals is not easy to digest when wanting to get out and take good photos, this book allows you to do this.

    1.0 out of 5 stars livre vraiment bof
    Reviewed in France on November 10, 2012

    Trop basic, ce livre ne vous apprendra guère plus que ce que vous pouvez lire dans le mode d'emploi. J'avais, à l'époque, acheté le livre "bien maîtriser son Canon EOS 7D", qui, lui, joue dans un tout autre registre, réglages détaillé, multe exemples, bref, riche en informations. Dommage, j'y ai cru, dans ce livre from "Snapshots to great shots".

    2.0 out of 5 stars Not very 5D Mark III specific.
    Reviewed in Canada on October 24, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I have previously used the Snapshots to Great Shots book on the Canon T1i and found it to be very usefull. It explained many of the capabilities of the camera and gave suggestions as to how to use them to take better shots.

    I was disappointed by the Canon 5D Mark III: From Snapshots to Great Shots as it could have been written about any camera. It explained how to take better photographs in general, but it didn't explain how to use the advanced features of the 5D3 to best advantage. There was virtually nothing about how to customize the camera and how to use the advanced autofocus system to best advantage.

    Having been bowled over by the enormous wealth of knowledge delivered in 7D from Snapshots to Great Shots, I had similar expectations for this book as well. Im afraid that this fell a long way short of expectations. The author is obviously a very accomplished photographer but not a great communicator. Sorry to say that this just did not do it for me.
