REQUEST: Can you experts recommend an aftermarket book that is complete and clear and readable? I don't mind studying up on this stuff and really mastering the camera, but I'm frustrated at the vagueness and inadequacy of what came w/ the camera.
Hi,

While I can't recommend a book, I can say that there are many of us here who use 20Ds.

Perhaps give us an idea of your workflow process and what you want to know. For example, do you shoot raw or jpg? Do you make extensive use of Photoshop? While I understand you want to understand all the various settings, perhaps start with a topic or two of most interest.

Regards,
Kevin
