Book Reviews of Magic Lantern Guides: Nikon D200
Book Review: Nikon D200 Magic Lantern Guide
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good but not the best of the D200 Guides.
I am not sorry to have purchased it, but I don't find it as generally useful as some other the other D200 books.
Book Review: D200 Helpful Information
Summary: 3 Stars
I found the book was very complete and helpful in providing guidance in some features and applications. The book is essentially the manual that should have come with the D200 to begin with. The illustrations and photographs are average at best. Maybe my eyes are getting bad but I could hardly read some of the icons they refer to. Still I found the guidance and recommendations make sense and are helpful.Book Review: We waited a long time for not a whole lot
Summary: 2 Stars
This book does a marginally better job of explaining the menus and functions than the manual that comes with the camera does. It does not offer any real world advice on how to get the most from the camera. You're still on your own. There are no recommendations, no examples of what features to use when, how to get the most from the camera in various shooting situations. It is just an slightly clearer extension of the camera manual. Only it costs about fifteen bucks and it took nearly a year to get printed after it was first listed on Amazon. The manual in the camera box is a.) included in the price of the camera and, b.) delivered on time.
Save your money.
Book Review: A Better Version of the D200 Manual
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a better version of the D200 Manual. I find the digital field guide for D200 a better version overall. I was confused which book is better so I bought both (Magic Lantern for D200 and Digital Field Guide for D200) for comparison. I would have preferred to have the pictures and illustrations in color. This book is very bland and the presentation boring compared to the digital field guide. If you are an amateur and want to know how to use the camera as well as learn new shooting tips on the different events, I suggest to get the Digital Field Guide by David Busch.Book Review: better manual?
Summary: 2 Stars
This book is like a better manual for the d200. Ok explanations of the simpler features, BUT when it comes to more advanced features like the autofocus system, it barely scratches the surface.
Also the photographs in the book are BAD! Only B&Ws and supposedly there to illustrate something, but they are just thrown in. Avoid the book!
