Book Reviews of David Busch's Nikon D90 Guide to Digital SLR Photography
Book Review: Love the anecdotes and friendly, personal touch!
Summary: 5 Stars
The author fills this book with specific tips and tricks that he has used to take better pictures. Unlike the cold and impersonal guides that don't go beyond the absolute basics that you need to know to use the camera, this one treats you as a fellow explorer of a great camera. There's much advice on why you might select a particular setting or use a feature, and plenty of anecdotes that make Busch's advice abundantly clear. I don't see where sharing with us his experiences with digital cameras is self promotion by the author at all. Instead, I felt as if I was working with a friend. Those who prefer the just the facts and no explanation approach can use one of the other, shorter guides.
This book gave me exactly what I needed to improve my skills. It included get started information that showed me how to operate my camera, which is especially helpful because the menu system of the D90 is so much more complex than my previous camera. The author explains each setting, why you'd want to use it, and gives examples of the kind of photography you'd need to it for. There is also a wealth of information on exposure, autofocus (which always confused me, particularly because the D90 has many more focus settings.) And now that I have this advanced camera, I am ready to add to my kit of lenses, and this book helped me there, too. There is a chapter that explains how to choose a "first" lens, and then what lenses you might want to add after that. The author concentrates on the large number of Nikon lenses available, but the information helped me when I chose an equivalent Tamron lens instead. Finally, the troubleshooting chapter eased my fears about the necessary maintenance that all cameras require. I am very satisfied with the completeness of this book. It should have been sold with the camera, because it answers all the questions that the manual that came with my D90 did not.
