Summary : Introduction to Canon 7D DVD
If you are like me and dont like to read the manual, the Canon EOS 7D can be an experience that would make you read the manual, if this video guide had not been made. It is clear and well paced and takes you through the basics so that you can enjoy this great camera. Thank you Blue Crane.

Summary : Volume 1
The video was okay.. The beginning I feel was done quite well, but then as it progressed I felt more and more like it was being rushed and lacked sense in some areas.
It definitely will help you if you feel overwhelmed by the 7D, but expect 25-30 minutes of unnecessary garbage and slow English, followed by 45 minutes of jumping around, making little sense, and using garbage references that don't clear your perception what so ever.
I rated it a 4 because I feel it does what it says, but not a 5 because t begins to jump around and contains lots of unnecessary and confusing information.

Summary : Running Start For You and Your Canon 7D
The DVD instructions are a real "Running Start" for learning the basics of Canon 7D operation. This DVD has certainly flattened the learning curve.
As someone who once used the Canon A1 and FD lenses, I am not a stranger to the SLR world of cameras. So this DVD served as a great introduction to the very different world of the Canon 7D DSLR.
The video introduces, in plain English the basic functions of the 7D. It explains how many of the settings are "by touch". The narrator compares how a person can control a car by touch, and that the user of the 7D will eventually learn how to "drive" their camera like one drives a car.
When viewing your DVD have a notebook, pen, owner's manual, and post-it colored tape tabs. I viewed it straight through, not stopping for the exercises. I then watched it again, jotting down notes and locating the relevant information in the instruction manual. I then performed the exercises.
If the 7D is your first DSLR, purchase this DVD at the same time you purchase your 7D. You will be spared all sorts of frustration as you tackle the learning curve.
I plan on purchasing Volume 2 in a few weeks.
