Satisfactory Plus
I rate this book between the Magic Lantern series and the David Busch authored books. While I don't have the 5D2 Busch version yet [not yet out] the 50D set of both allows me to state this. All three are worth while. This one is a little more suited to sitting by the fire on a cold night than the Magic Lantern version. The Magic Lantern version is very good for carrying with you as a quick refresher though. This one is especially better than the Canon Manual. Easier to find things and more detail. Larger print too.

Good But Could Be Much Better
The book gives basic operations of the camera but lacks detail in both basic operation and advanced operation.
Not nearly as good as the Digital Field Guide to the original 5D.
Obvious this is the author's first book.
Not all that helpful for people familiar with the original 5D.

A truely complete guide
This field guide for the 5D Mark II is well written and easy to read. It includes tips throughout and refers you to other sections for review or additional information. I love the layout and the images included. It is great for a beginner photographer as it includes many basic photography lessons as well as the how-to with this camera in particular. I'm quite impressed with this educational treat. It is a very thorough guide.

Top of the line literature
If you got the top dog of digital cameras then get this guide. It will help you bring your skills to the top with easy to read text and simple to read instructions. Not written like a manual with visuals and, illustrations and pictures. Great examples and even learn how to use video with help on selecting additional gear. A must have for any owner of Canon EOS 5D Mark II.
