Book Reviews of Magic Lantern Guides: Nikon D200
Book Review: Probably a pre-publication dummy cover
Summary: 4 Stars
Simon Stafford has written a lot of good books on Nikon products for Magic Lantern Press. Don't confuse a picture of the cover -- which may well have been nothing but a dummy done prepublication -- with the contents of the book. The editorial description of the camera which accompanies the Amazon listing is correct.
Don't run down the book if you haven't read it yet! Based on the extreme utility and quality of Stafford's D70 and D50 books, I'm giving this on the D200 what I would have given his previous books.
Book Review: OK - manual extension, not a guide to using camera
Summary: 4 Stars
This is, for all intents and purposes, a manual for the camera written in clearer English. It does not include anything along the lines of the Field Guide books that give pointers on which lenses and settings to use for which shooting situations with your D200 -- still, this is a great "manual" replacement and much easier to understand and follow than the manual that comes with camera.Book Review: An Antidote for Nikon Instruction Book
Summary: 4 Stars
After my experience with the D70 Nikon instructions, I ordered this book at the same time I ordered my D200 camera. I have not yet looked at the Nikon book but relied on this guide to set up my camera for many different photo environments. I carry this book in my camera bag at all times. I heartily recommend it.Book Review: Lantern Guides much better than Nikon Manual
Summary: 4 Stars
All Magic Lantern had to do to be better than the "Nikon Owner Manual" was print it larger and make it so it doesn't fall apart as your reading it, and the presentation of information in the M.L.G doesn't bounce you back and forth through out the book making it much easier to follow.Book Review: Magic Lantern guide for Nikon D200
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a concise, easy to read guide for the Nikon D200. It is easier to understand than the manual that comes with the camera. My only criticism, if any, is that the index is not as comprehensive as it could be.
