Customer Reviews

Very good detail - Professional
The best DVD on 5D Mk II to date, forget "Elite Video," (lacks depth - amateur), or "A Short Course.." (Still a great overall guide - but lacks 5D Mk II depth). "Blue Crane Digital" provides more insights that are hands-on tools you will use in the field.

Great Jump Start for 5D Mk II
I've owned a quite a few of the Canon EOS digital cameras and had great results so moving up to the 5D Mk II was not a unique experience for me but on a flight to Singapore I went through the Volume 1 Basic Controls DVD and learned a lot. The instruction is clear and well paced. Looking forward to Volume 2.

Canon 5D Mark II Blue Crane Digital Volume 1
I bought this DVD and sat down with camera in hand while viewing it and I learned more from this video that I ever imagined I could. It is so well done and easy to follow explanations of the camera's controls. You will quickly learn how to set the controls to get the most out of this amazing camera. I give it five stars because I don't think you will find any thing that will help you more than this DVD. It will be the best $20 you ever spent to help you with this camera!
