Service from 47st Photo was good, but the video and audio quality of this training series is a bad. I can not believe Elite Video would release this. At times you have to turn the volume way up, only to have the next chapter blast you out of your seat. Video cuts etc are just not what I am use too from Elite Video. IT appears extremely rushed.

Stick to buying Blue Cranes Video on the Canon 20D it is awesome.

This one is not worth the cost of the DVD's they are on.

I bought this two DVD set to familiarize myself with the Canon EOS 20 D before starting to use it. In general, the first volume covers the camera's operation and menu system. Each section was narrated by an expert. The level of expertise and the speaking skills of experts varies considerably (as well as the volume of each section). The Canon 20 D operational information is covered, however, the video production leaves a little to be desired. It is difficult to see, in some sections, the camera controls that are being discussed (black on black).

The second DVD covers "taking pictures", which could apply almost to any camera. The sections are poorly put together and the editing is amateurish. I should have gotten a clue when I noticed that the DVD are blue coated and not pressed and had paper labels.

I believe the cost of 48.00 is much too high for this item.

When I first received my 20D, I felt a bit overwhelmed. I managed to use the camera but never to it's full potential. I decided to roll the dice and buy this DVD. I learned so much. I found out how to do stuff that I never imagined my camera can do. I think it was a good investment.
