Book Reviews of Nikon D300 Digital Field Guide
Book Review: Great D300 book for on the go
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is perfect for use in the field. I bought this book specifically because it was a small format book I could take along with me for guidance. When I am unsure what menu settings to use, I take this book out of my bag, look up the options, and make adjustments quickly. When I see an opportunity for a great shot, I can look up specifics about shooting different objects in different environments and read three or four pages of advice, illustrated with awesome full color pictures. This book covers all the digital photography basics. It does include all the settings you need for the practice photos, including aperture, shutter speed, ISO setting, etc. Plus the lens used is listed. This book was a great investment - it's helped me get more comfortable with my D300 and I expect that my pictures are just going to keep getting better as I keep using the book to build my knowledge of the camera and of photography in general.Book Review: The Best Book for Learning About the D300
Summary: 5 Stars
"Nikon D300 Digital Field Guide" has become my photography bible. It is concise and to the point; making it an excellent book for someone who just pulled a D300 out of the box and is utterly confused by all the features. Mr. Thomas takes the reader step-by-step through each feature in a very simple, straight forward, understandable manner. The bonus to this book is the "Real World Applications" chapter, in which a variety of photographic challenges are offered, complete with suggested settings and practical advice on composing an ideal shot. The books smaller size makes it easy to put in a camera case for quick reference. All in all, this book is well written for both the novice and expert looking for creative inspiration and utilizing the D300 in the most effective manner.Book Review: Nikon D300 Camera body
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this camera very easy to opporate, even with many multi-function buttons. Having used a F3 for most of the last 20 years and a D50 for the last couple. Everthing just felt normal and well built. I also purchased the battery pack, as I pefer to use AA batteries to power the camera. I'm more than happy with the purchase and expect this camera to last me for many years to come.
I'm experimenting with the various formats (currently RAW) and having a blast using the different features of Photoshop, shooting still lifes in the studio and spring flowers. I no longer currently make my living with Photography, but I would feel comfortable taking a couple D300's to any shoot.
Book Review: Great Real World Guide
Summary: 5 Stars
The amount of features that a D300 has can be overwhelming, especially to someone who is moving up from an entry level Nikon or other brand DSLR. This guide really helps flesh out what the manual gives you with real world and practical examples. The D300 Digital Field Guide is especially great for explaining, and walking through the different custom functions, with easy to read images getting you through the menu. I also think the explanation of all the flash options--the commander mode and how to use multiple flashes--and slow sync operations really will help make using the D300 easier.Book Review: Easy to use field guide
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this guide to be easy to read, with concise directions. Especially the intro to the D300.
It leads you through a guide to the camera, which is much easier to follow than the manual. And it directs you to the specific area of the book for details, as you go through it.
I really think it is a worthwhile investment to make using the features of the D300 a lot easier and more fun
