Book Reviews of Magic Lantern Guides: Nikon D200
Book Review: A Handy Adjunct to the Manual
Summary: 5 Stars
Although the Nikon D200 manual is clear, concise and informative as these things go, the Magic Lantern guide is worth getting as well, and not just for another perspective. Written in a less formal and dense voice than the official Nikon publication, the MLG also contains additional tips and information for advanced users, as well as basic stuff that the manual takes for granted, all pitched at a level that avoids confusing or patronising the reader.Book Review: D200 BY MAGIC LANTERN GUIDES
Summary: 5 Stars
NICELY DONE...THIS MANUAL IS WELL WRITEN AND VERY COMPLETE. ONE THING THAT I LIKE ABOUT IT ARE THE HINTS OR COMMENTS BY THE AUTHOR. THERE IS A BRIEF HISTORY OF "NIKON" AND WHY THEY BEGAN MANUFACTURING THE D200. THE GUIDE ALSO GIVES A BREAKDOWN OF THE ACCESSORIES USED WITH THE D200 AND SIMILAR CAMERAS (SUCH AS THE D50, D70 AND NOW THE D80). IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR CAMERA, THE NIKON D200, THIS GUIDE IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY.Book Review: I got what I wanted out of the book.
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted to quickly learn how to use the D200. Going area by area, the book explains all the different options, something about what the options do, and why you might want to pick one option over the other. In some areas I could have used more explination. I guess that is an acceptable tradeoff. Too detailed of coverage would have made the book too long. After reading the book I can now operate the D200.
Book Review: Excellent extension of manual
Summary: 5 Stars
The book is an excellent companion for any D200 owner. It includes a lot of information on how the settings of the camera can be used and what limits its features have. In particular, it gives a lot more information (and explanations) than the Nikon manual does. It is clearly written and easy to understand.
Needless to say: The cover picture is of the real D200!
Book Review: Focused guide with pertinent info and helpful tips
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a pity the rating of this fine volume is being dragged down by one-star reviews from people who never even saw the book (and couldn't as it they were submitted long before the book was published).
In fact, it's a fine book, focused on the essentials and truly useful info., and with many helpful shooting tips throughout.
