More About the Author

With nearly 1.5 million books in print, David D. Busch is the world's #1 selling author of camera-specific guidebooks, and the originator of popular series like David Busch's Pro Secrets, David Busch's Compact Field Guides, David Busch's Guides to Digital SLR Photography, and David Busch's Quick Snap Guides.

Most of his hugely successful books for Nikon, Canon, Sony, Pentax, Olympus, and Panasonic digital cameras are the top-selling guidebooks for their respective camera models. His advice has been featured on NPR's "All Tech Considered."

Busch's dozens of other books devoted to digital photography include David Busch's Digital Infrared Pro Secrets and Mastering Digital SLR Photography. As a roving photojournalist for more than 20 years, he has illustrated his books, magazine articles, and newspaper reports with award-winning images. Busch has operated his own commercial studio, suffocated in formal dress while shooting weddings-for-hire, and shot sports for a daily newspaper and upstate New York college. His photographs and articles have been published in magazines as diverse as PhotoGraphic, Popular Photography & Imaging, The Rangefinder, The Professional Photographer, and hundreds of other publications. He's also reviewed digital cameras for CNet Networks and Computer Shopper.

As a writer, photographer, and contributing editor for ten magazines, he has more than 130 books and 2500 articles to his credit. A PR consultant for Eastman Kodak Company's photography divisions for nearly 20 years, Busch has published photography articles under his by-line in Popular Photography & Imaging, PhotoGraphic, The Rangefinder, The Professional Photographer and other photo magazines. His photos have appeared on the covers of magazines, and in both print and television advertising.

The graduate of Kent State University operated his own photo studio and was a principal in CCS/PR, Inc., one of the largest public relations firms based in San Diego, working on press conferences, press kits, media tours, and sponsored photo trade magazine articles. In addition to Kodak, CCS photography clients included Hewlett-Packard. He sold his interest in CCS in 1992 to become a full-time author, photographer, and reporter.

Since then, Busch has become one of the leading photojournalist/authors in the United States. He has had as many as five books appear simultaneously in the Amazon.com Top 25 Digital Photography Books, and when Michael Carr of About.com named the top five digital photography books for beginners, the #1 and #2 choices were his Digital Photography All-in-One Desk Reference for Dummies and Mastering Digital Photography. Several of his digital imaging books have sold in excess of 50,000 copies.

Busch was a featured guest speaking on digital photography on Toronto's Breakfast Television show in 2005, was the keynote speaker at the Dayton Computerfest, and has been a call-in guest for 22 different radio shows nationally and in major markets, including WTOP-AM (Washington), KYW-AM (Philadelphia), USA Network (Daybreak USA), WPHM-AM (Detroit), KMJE-FM (Sacramento), CJAD-AM (Montreal), WBIX-AM (Boston), ABC Radio Network (Jonathan & Mary Show).

His work has been translated into Arabic, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Bulgarian, German, Italian, French, and other languages. his web site is http://www.dbusch.com.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good user manual and more, April 5, 2007
By 
Debbie "pug-mom" (California, United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT Guide to Digital SLR Photography (Paperback)
Really does a nice job of explaining all the features of the camera.
Part of the book covers the same info as the Canon owners' manual, but with much expanded detail (and you don't need a magnifying glass to read it!). Where the author explains each setting/menu option it has a nice BIG photo showing the button or camera display. Where there are different options, the author explains the purpose of each setting and why you might want to select it.
The book contains lots of color photos. Included is a decent discussion of accessories (flash, lenses, hoods, software, etc.
The book is printed on nice quality paper, with plenty of room in the right-hand margin for your own notes.
I paid a lot for the camera, might as well learn how to use all the features I paid for!

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT Guide to Digital SLR Photography (Paperback)
I bought my first DSLR - Rebel XT awhile back (July 2007). IT has so many features I was just getting lost in the menus. This book explains all the features that a starting DSLR user would ever want to know. The first thing I looked up was continuous shooting (didn't know how to set that) - the book was VERY clear and gave several helpful pointers. Definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about your Rebel XT.

The book is made out of durable heavy paper - a big plus for me because I will be taking this everywhere. You definitely get your money's worth here!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant Surprise - Essential to take the next step with this camera, February 16, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT Guide to Digital SLR Photography (Paperback)
Was very happy to see this product, perfect for my new camera. I was looking to make the leap from Point and shoot to a "real" digital camera and this book made me want to immediately go outside and take some shots.

Very easy to follow.
