Book Reviews of Nikon D300 Digital Field Guide
Book Review: A must have
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent read, well written, easy to navigate - this is a must have if you own the D300. As mentioned, in another review, this book is extremely helpful in learning the menus, settings, features FAST.Book Review: Extremely helpful and succinct
Summary: 4 Stars
When I bought my D300, I had the best intentions to read through the
manual that came with it - I promised myself that if I was spending
this much on a new camera that I'd really take advantage of its full
potential. But I found the manual to be frustrating and not
surprisingly, boring. My biggest complaint was that the manual
explained the function of a button or setting without ever teaching me
how it would actually affect my photos. So I bought this book hoping
it would increase my understanding of how to use my D300's controls to
get the best possible pictures. I wasn't disappointed. This book
takes you through your camera's settings and menus step-by-step,
explaining not only the function of each setting, but also when you
should use it and how it will make your pictures better - exactly what
I was looking for. It also has a large section that talks about the
basics of digital photography. While I had heard a lot of these basic
rules of photography before, I felt like it was a great refresher
course and I learned some new tips for getting great pics. I
feel more confident using my D300 after reading this book and my
pictures have improved as a result. Highly recommended.
Book Review: Better than any tutorial DVD.
Summary: 4 Stars
As mentioned elsewhere, I am in the process of converting from film to digital photography and there are certain aspects which I have found quite daunting. Altogether, I have purchased several books and tutorial DVDs on the subject as that process of conversion continues and this product is one of the best.
Having already worked my way through this particular title (with camera in hand) I found this particular book was able to provide instruction which was far superior to any of the tutorials I had also studied. Basically, if you are new to the Nikon D300, this book will provide an excellent grounding.
Beginning with an introduction to the camera, the book is then carefully laid out in the best possible way where the author meticulously builds on the information imparted so far until the structure of the book is complete. Part 1 contains an explanation of the many and varied facets of this outstanding camera and are far too numerous to list here. Part 2 then expands on this knowledge by giving examples of how to create great images and includes a chapter on working with light and other aspects of the art.
Altogether a complete product for the complete photographer.

Nikon D300
Digital Field Guide
By: Bryden D.
I am the owner of a few Nikon digital cameras including the D70,D2H,D200 & now the D300. This being the case I am quite familar with the dry clipped language used in the Nikon Owners Manuals.
The D300 is an advanced camera with many new technical features that can be some what overwhelming to a new user.
Thomas has written this guide in a away that makes it easy to follow these new features. He points out in clear langusge how the D300 can enhance your photography techniques.
Major sections that I found of most interest are the Upgrades from the D200 and the Quick Tour.
Chapters 1-8 go into details of the camera and how they relate to various real world applications.
Overall - a great little book to carry around for quick reference on photo shoots.,
Book Review: Excellent Book
Summary: 4 Stars
Good Book compare to the original manual D300. It also arrived early then expected. The good things about this book is that it has clear picture colour with detail instruction. I would recommand buying this book.
Thank you.
