Canon EOS Camera Book Recommendations Cape Town

I currently use the Canon EOS 6D, Canon EOS 7D Mark II and the Canon EOS 70D DSLR's as my go-to photography bodies (paired with a variety of  Canon EF consumer and professional lenses).

Snapshots to Great Shots Book Series
Before acquiring any of the Canon EOS bodies I did extensive research in terms of the detailed specifications, functions and other body-specific criteria. Soon after getting each body I also acquired the relevant 'From Snapshots to Great Shots' series book to learn more - and as future reference guide (together with the Canon user guides).

I have found these books of great assistance and made detailed recommendations on my Canon Camera News website. Each Canon EOS book below will have a link to the more detailed recommendation.

On all the original book recommendation pages are useful links to a variety of other online camera / photographic resources (specific to each of the three Canon EOS bodies). 

Availability (Hard Copy / Kindle / PDF)
The From Snapshots to Great Shots series should be available from Orms (Cape Town / Bellville), most local Cape Town book retailers and / or online retailers such as AmazonPeachpit and Takealot.
