    I just bought a 5DS-R. Without John's explanatory "How to", I would have completely lost. Very very helpful.

    Really great - I am so much further ahead than I would have been on my own! Began my love for photography in the 1970's with the manual camera Olympus OM-1 . Loved it, but life seemed to take up all my time. Fast forward decades and photography is very different. I needed to touch on the basics once more, and familiarize myself with the new technology. Well Done and Thank You !!!

    I wish I'd bought this ages ago. Also motivation for me to purchase another video for any future cameras I might invest in in the future.

    I got this for my 5DMARKIII a while back but then I also got 5DSR now. If you are getting a new camera, Please check John's Fast Start series. Because I have purchased another Fast Start, for SONY A7RMK2, which is even better. John takes you through the phases and steps that might surprise you. You may find buttons on the camera that existed but you did not know because you so eager to get out and shoot with your camera. I am sure these will not be the last Fast Start Series I am getting as I am already looking at SONY A7RIV. I highly recommend John Greengo, and any of the courses that he offer through Creative Live.

    I upgraded to the 5DS. This course is a great way to familiarize yourself with where everything is in the menu. There are features that my older camera didn't have and the new features are explained well. I highly recommend this course.

  • Karen R. Nov 21, 2018

    John is so good. His courses are thorough and his commentary is on point.

  • Candy S. Jun 19, 2018

    Whenever I get a new camera I buy John's Fast Start Class, he gets me up and running on the best settings and I know where to go in all the menus. Definitely helps me use more of the cool features that my new cameras offer, that would have taken me a lot longer to find on my own.

  • Dagmar B. Jun 15, 2018

    perfect !!! I had my EOS 10D in many years - and with only handbook and try and error , I did not really use her full potential. Now with a high end camera like the 5ds r I didn´t want to procede that way. This class is a blast , I already understand this camera so much better than any of its predecessors . John Greengo has done a hell of a job . Again !

  • Meredith S. Mar 6, 2018

    I've owned my cannon 5ds for a year and felt pretty confident but wanted to take this class to fill a few holes in my knowledge. I ended up learning so much more than I thought I would and recommend this class!

  • WRyia S. Oct 11, 2017

    Loved John's course! I have been shooting for a long time but have not shot with this camera before and and loved learning all of the controls. John made it easy to understand. A very comprehensive course on this awesome camera!.

  • Liesa W. Jun 24, 2017

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE John's classes. Bought the 70D class for my first camera, now the 5D Mark III class, so worth it. Awesome investment!

  • I. May 4, 2017

    Having come from a 40D, many of the features on the 5D Mark III are different. I knew the fundamentals of the camera, but this course really helped me refine my knowledge. Great course for the beginner, or the knowledgeable novice. I learnt about features on my camera that I didn't even know existed. Highly recommend!!

  • G. Sep 17, 2016

    This was the perfect class to get an clear and concise overview of my new 5DMarkIII. He covered only the functionality of the camera, which was just what I needed! Thanks John!

  • Mike G. Sep 2, 2016

    I am a photo instructor myself and bought a 5DSR. I needed some quick info on the camera and John did the job. I would recommend this class to anyone that wants to get right down to brass tacks learn from a guy that really knows his stuff. I was extremely impressed.

  • GEORGE B. Jul 31, 2016

    I needed a crash course in learning to setup and know the buttons and menus on my 5D mark iii. Mr Greengo did a great job showing how to become a 5D operation expert real quick. What you don't understand at first, just go back and watch again till you understand it, cause he covers this monster camera very well for a short course! Will be taking more of his courses. Wish there was a way to ask a question to him, but I guess he would have a inbox of a million questions. LOL

  • Emanuel B. Jul 21, 2016

    Class was well organized and taught. Mr. Greengo is very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this class.

  • U. Jun 30, 2016

    This was such a clear and organized means of introducing me to this somewhat complex camera. I'm a much better Canon user for having watched this course. Thank you!

  • Adrian B. Jun 26, 2016

    Wow! What I wouldn't do to get a camera like this!

  • Adrian B. Jun 26, 2016

    The instructor is a genius!

  • Martha H. Jun 26, 2016

    Covered all the features without having to read pages and pages of manuals! Good explanations of why you would use each setting in multiple circumstances.

  • Kathy P. Jun 24, 2016

    When I switched from Nikon to Canon I needed some help with my new Canon 5D Mark lll and this class was the perfect solution to get to know this new camera better! I'm such a hands on learner and visual person that to have my camera in hand and go step by step was wonderful. I recommend this class, absolutely!! Kathy

  • Kevin John P. Jun 24, 2016

    John has a great way of delivering information that is easy to understand. Great course and beats reading the manual

  • NPShields . Jun 24, 2016

    Anyone who gets a new camera body should take this type of class, particularly if it is this thorough and well done. I have been shooting with this body for a few years but still took the class and am so glad that I did. I now feel as if I'm utilizing the full potential of this amazing piece of equipment. Thanks for the great opportunity!

  • P. May 30, 2016

    The definitive icebreaker of Courses for the Canon 5D Mark III and much more. This course formulates preciseness in excellence that transcends education in this training marketing place. The advancement of this course is a must buy for any photographer no matter what camera is used. John narrows in on the key functions for total understanding. If you want to understand the Black Block Canon then buy this course. Patrick

  • Debby H. Apr 13, 2016

    I thought I knew my camera pretty well but discovered there were some features I didn't know about. Definitely a course all 5DMIII owners should take.
