Book Reviews of Nikon D40/D40x Digital Field Guide
Book Review: Handy book - Leaves the manual in its dust (and at home)
Summary: 5 Stars
Basically, you will never look at your manual again. This book describes everything having to do with your camera, with much greater detail than just the basics of how to navigate the camera. Using color pictures and examples it also shows the effects of certain settings as well and a section just dedicated to composition. Does it cover everything? No, but realistically no one book can. This is a great addition to your camera bag when you go on the road or travel and want a more comprehensive and readible eye friendly "manual" to help you explore, understand, and tame this powerful camera.Book Review: Nikon D 40 /D40X Digital Field guide
Summary: 5 Stars
Returning to photography as a hobby, after an absence of many years, and purchasing a Nikon D40 as my first digital camera I found the accompanying instructions to be very challenging. This book is easy to read,understand, and makes my entry into digital photography substantially easier. It allows me to completely understand the different functions of my camera and ultimately achieve a higher level of competence with the camera.The camera is excellent, and the book provides a great foundation for any future digital camera upgrade. I highly recommend the Nikon D40/D40X digital field guide.Book Review: Help for us non-techies
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a couple of Busch's earlier books on photography and really like his feel for the needs of those of us who would like to get beyond the snapshot level with our new expensive digital cameras. In this one, beyond the obvious help with using the D40, I like the all-color format which helps me find sections so much better. And I really like the sections on taking specific kinds of photos, which have charts that streamline all the variables you need to address. A small thing... the size is perfect for slipping into my camera case while having a complete guide to help me on the road.Book Review: A must have
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a "must have" for the D40/D40X owner. It is extremely easy to use and Nikon would do well to supply it with the camera instead of their present manual. I have found settings that I was not aware existed and as a result have increased my pleasure in using the camera. I was not aware that infrared photography was possible with digital cameras but this book includes directions and I am in the process of experimenting with it. I am an engineer and frankly I had problems using the included manual but this book has solved that condition.Book Review: Should be standard-issue for new D40/D40x owners
Summary: 5 Stars
The Nikon D40/D40x Digital Field Guide could be a replacement for the owner's manual, and so much more. In addition to explaining the camera's features with simple language and large color photos, the author delves into the operation of Nikon's lens system and then provides countless examples and exercises to inspire the imagination and provide a solid foundation for DSLR users. I obtained this book in order to help a friend who recently purchased the D40X, but now I think I'll just turn the book over to him - he'll be in good hands.
