Apr 13, 2011 I just bought the Canon EOS 7D Camera. I was told by a photography teacher that I really needed to take a class on how to use this very sophisticated technical camera. I have a Canon EOS 30D camera now. I use the manual and all the preset modes all the time, but have never really understood all of the capabilities that my old camera has.

I was told by a photography teacher that I really needed to take a class on how to use this very sophisticated technical camera. I have a Canon EOS 30D camera now. I use the manual and all the preset modes all the time, but have never really understood all of the capabilities that my old camera has. I read the user manual and played around with the camera, but I'm sure there was a lot more to know that I never touched on. I would like to completely understand all of the features of the 7D and how to best utilize all that this camera has to offer. I know that there are a lot of books, DVD's, and on-line classes. Anyone have any suggestions of the best tutorial for the Canon 7D? Thanks, Kathleen. Kathleen, good luck with your new camera! I am fortunate to own one and absolutely love it. It takes some getting used to, but can it ever deliver once set up properly for your style of work. Try to remember, it's not about memorizing and using every function or capability, just those that will make it work optimally for you. One of the best books I've found for detailing it's functions and uses is David Busch's 'Canon EOS 7D' available at B&Noble or elsewhere. There are several online tutorials as well, I'm hoping others can provide links as I don't have them. This may sound simplistic, but just go out and take photographs with it. Since it is digital, you have made the investment in a fine photographic instrument and like a musical instrument you can read all about it, but you need to play it to get better. Unlike a film camera, you don't have the continuing expense of film and developing and you can take photos over and over, changing settings and instantly checking the results. Read this forum, there are many people willing to help with your questions and you can learn a lot from other people's questions (I know I do). There are links to other sites and poking around can lead to very interesting finds. But as with anything on the internet, you can find good information and bad information. You need to be able to tell the difference. Don't let pixel peepers get you confused with their arguing over minutiae. Go to the canon site. There are about 15 canon videos specifically for the 7D. They explain the workings of this camera better than the manual ever dreamed possible. I have downloaded all of them to my iphone for reference any time I want them in the field. They can also be downloaded to your camera to see on that screen. Also on the canon site are articles on using the video features and so on, but the video series is really excellent. Unfortunately, they are hidden from view and close to impossible to find unless you know they are there and are actually looking for them.Come on Canon.promote this stuff. I bought the book 'Canon EOS 7D' Digital Feild Guide by Charlotte K.
