Canon 7D Mark II Fast Start with John Greengo

John does a great job explaining these classes

I am amazed and impressed as to how John can retain so much information about so many different Cameras AND Lens! He is truly a Camera Geek! He explains everything so clear and makes it easy to understand. I purchased this camera about 4 years ago when it was first released. I had no idea there was so many options and customization available until I watched this class! John Greengo Rocks!

¸Thank you so much, so anxious for the Canon Mastering the Lenses,

John Greengo is such a geek! I say it in fully positive sense. 7D MkII is my second Canon DSLR but watching his tutorial made me feel like I don't know anything about my camera! Plus he has nice sense of humor. Highly recommended!

I really thought I had a solid understanding of my 7D Mark ii, which I have owned for two years, and have used many times capturing photos at professional sports complexes. For me, learning so many ways to configure my custom controls to make it easier for me, and discovering a few features I didn't realize this camera had completely made this class enjoyable and completely worth my time and money! Thanks John!

Like many of the reviewers, I stepped up from a different Canon. I've been using the Rebel T6i for a couple of years and older Rebel models prior to that. I would have been quite lost making my way through the settings on the 7D Mark II without this class. John Greengo is easy to listen to. His voice is pleasant and he speaks with confidence. Those are important when listening to hours from an online instructor. John explains every setting in a way that is easily understood, if you have any experience with a DSLR at all. I am ready to work through the settings and play with them with much more confidence than I would have without this class. And certainly more so than just going through the little manual that comes with the camera. Thank you, John Greengo! You've armed me with knowledge!

Simply Brilliant. I stepped up from a Canon 700D, my first DSLR, and id only used Manual modes for about 3 months. When i opened my shiny new 7D Mark 2, i was bamboozled! I watched the workshop over a few days to practice in between, and the lessons really sunk in. Funny story - when John said "clear all camera settings mode" i stupidly pushed it! When i finished the course, i simply went back through the quick start guide and redid all the suggested settings - and i was shocked how much i had actually retained! Thankyou John, just invaluable. Taking your landscaping one next, cheers!!

I love taking courses where John Greengo is the instructor. His teaching is excellent. Stays on topic and explains everything to your understanding. I highly recommend taking his classes

I just bought the Canon 7D Mark II. To learn about my previous camera I went through the manual, took notes and still wondered what some of the features really did. John does such a fantastic job of explaining features and pointing out the ones that can really make a difference for the style of shooting you are doing. What a time savings to get started and a reference for future questions. I can't say enough good things about John's ability to teach sometimes technically complex subjects, his use of very informative graphics, his knowledge of camera equipment, and knowledge of photography based on his personal experience.

I took this course a few months ago and have been out in the field since shooting with my 7D II and a telephoto. It has been a great help and I really could easily operate the camera my first time out , which happened to be at a wildlife refuge. Great course, great teacher. I've now taken two other Greengo courses with an eye on a third.

I am a pro photographer in my dreams, where I know the in's and out's of my camera; however, reality proved differently, as real life would tell you, I was a deer caught in headlights just looking at my new 7D Mark II. I am a photographer enthusiast without the skills, but a lot of love for the moments one, or the profession/hobby of it can capture. I mostly shoot my husband, friends, and community surfers in the lineup, and of course, my children, who rarely sit still. Thus, I switched from Nikon to Canon, venturing on the 7D Mark II for the grand reviews of how stellar of camera it is for action shots (surfing, and kids, this was a no brainer). That said, and overwhelmed with the way beyond my skill set, but noted desire and aspiration to grow, I made the purchase, and sought help rather quickly as I wanted to feel confident with what I was utilizing to capture the best memories possible. I came into this CL course knowing the "on/off" button, and "auto" shoot mode. I came out of the course feeling like the pro in my dreams, and ready to shoot manual. John's teaching style is on point, and his detailed visuals are a huge plus. So impressed, I purchased, John's photography starter kit, and was even more blown away. My first shots post that course, I thought were great for my first educated shoot, and shockingly, I even received and email from one of the sponsors of the surfers I captured, asking if they could use my image for their sites and publications. Not bad for a newbie. Though, my intent was never a business purpose, I did not know if I should charge a small fee, or give it for free. I don't mind free as it's not my business, yet I don't want to ruin it for any photographers in town doing the same thing that are charging. Perhaps another course to help me with that. I highly recommend courses by John Greengo! Thank you so much, John!

I purchased this course prior to purchasing my camera as I knew I would need some help along the way and thank goodness I did! John does an amazing job of sharing just how much this camera is capable of and takes you through it all with no stone left unturned! I am now ready and confident for my shoot tomorrow! I have purchased numerous courses from John and I am never disappointed. Thank you John!

When I upgraded to the Mark II (you know how we men need big toys), I was simply overwhelmed. I could still operate the camera using basic settings, but I didn't feel at all comfortable getting into changing settings, and huge downloadable manual was also overwhelming. John's course was brilliantly put together and made getting into the details of the camera a lot less scary. His guidance was so helpful to me, and would be to anyone. This is the best online "course" I've ever taken, and far more valuable than book-manuals. Thanks John! Vince Lynch

This is excellent. I upgraded a couple of months ago to the 7D Mkii and when I got it I had no idea it was so complex, it was like starting all over again. I knew it was going to be a steep learning curve and having only been shooting in manual for a year with a 100D, which I squeezed everything I could out of it, I thought it was going to take another year to learn this camera! However, I've persevered and learned a lot but there were always a few things I was uncertain about and knew I wasn't utilising the camera to its full potential. This course has explained everything I wanted to know. If I had taken this course when I first bought my camera I would have been totally lost so I'm glad I spent the last couple of months familiarising myself with it before taking this class. Can't wait to get shooting again with my new found knowledge. The course notes are great to have to refer to.

I had not used my Canon 7D Mark ll in almost a year in favor of a Fuji mirrorless. I had to get up to speed over a weekend to prepare for a weeklong location workshop. I bought the course and can honestly say, I was prepared and confident. John got right to business and the chapters allowed me to prioritize my time. Now that I have renewed my skill level with the 7D Mark ll, think I will get his course for the Fuji when it goes on sale. Great supplement to the manual for sure.

John's coverage of the Canon 7D Mod II was excellent. It helped immensely in understanding the myriad of choices available in this camera. I would recommend this course to any user of the 7D Mod II. camera. The only comment I would make is that it might be helpful if John didn't assume that we all are sports photographers. Some hints for other types of photographers would be a great addition to an already excellent course.

John Gringo has taken me thru 3 different cameras along with the basics of photography. He saves me hours of bad photos and trying to read a manual. Very thorough and easy to understand. By purchasing the class, I am able to go back after a day of shooting and see how I can correct something or provide a refresher. Thanks CreativeLive and John Gringo - Imaginetheworldmedia

I bought my 7D Mkii the week it was introduced as an upgrade to my old 20D. I immediately noticed what a huge step up it was and to be honest was a little overwhelmed by all of the options and customisations available. In the year I've owned it I've managed to pick up a lot but I still felt there was a lot in there that I wasn't making the best use of. John's course has filled in the missing pieces and I now feel a lot more confident that I will be able to get the best out of this amazing camera.

Since I upgraded from the 7D to the MkII I was already aware of the basic controls but this course has helped me understand a lot of the new stuff under the hood. John's walkthrough on the menu you system was excellent. He even managed a good job of translating the handbook gobbledegook.

I bought this class having owned a Canon 60D, then an Olympus OMD EM1. So when I decided to move back to a Canon for my wildlife photography I thought I had best learn how to use it properly. This class is AMAZING!!! I would never of read the manual from front to back! Thanks John for doing so and then explaining it in simple terms. Saving me hours of trial and error. I only wish I had known about creative live when I purchased the Olympus!!! If anyone out there is struggling to get to know how there camera works check these courses out. Worth every dollar. Whenever I forget something I just go back and review the video. Thanks John.

This is the first class that I have taken with John and I highly recommend it. He was easy to follow and I would take more of his classes

This is a GREAT class. The instructor clearly has a wealth of experience in photography and specifically with the Canon 7D Mark II. I learned a lot about my camera from the course and I have already ready multiple books and watched many online videos on my camera. Highly recommended!!

I had just upgraded from a T2i to the 7D Mark II and found the user manual a bit over whelming! John Greengo's fast start class definitely helps with the steep learning curve of this more sophisticated camera, and is definitely worth purchasing!!

I was hesitant about purchasing an “online course” to learn about my camera. I am so very glad I did purchase this course. Mr. Greengo is very knowledgeable. His instruction for the various functions of the camera along with his classroom visuals make this course very efficient and effective. I will be purchasing his ‘Fundamentals of Photography’ course. Thank you, MJ Fitzpatrick

I am still going through this course but am thrilled with how much practical information I am getting. The menu and instruction book seemed to be written in a foreign language as far as my understanding was concerned, but now, with your help, I am beginning to make sense of it and to gain more and more insight. I have a long way to go yet before I take it all in and really master the camera but have been making good progress. My one frustration is that in my country I have a slow Internet service and there are long gaps while the computer tries to catch up.
