Book Review: Nikon D80 Digital Field Guide by David D. Busch
Summary: 5 Stars
After trying to make sense of the owner's manual I bought this guide from Amazon and have been very pleased. The photos let me take my camera and know exactly what I am looking at. The text I find to be very concise and easy to follow and with a few exceptions, it has been a huge help in my learning curve on this camera. My only real disappointment has been the size of the book because it is not easy to carry in the field.Book Review: not the greatest
Summary: 2 Stars
I thought this book would be a better reference for the D80 than the manual, but in fact, the manual was better organized and more precise. I felt the author jumped all over the place and I didn't really learn much more about the camera than what was offered in the D80 manual.
This author seems like a very knowledgeable photographer though. The editing of this book is horrible... spelling mistakes throughout.
Book Review: Not for me
Summary: 1 Stars
After reading this book I don't understand why anyone would buy it over using the Nikon D80 Manual that comes with the camera. The Nikon manual describes everything that you might need to know about using you D80. The book, on the other hand, glosses over many important details of how to specifically use the D80. Don't think that you need an extra book when you have a free and complete manual. Read the manual; skip the book.Book Review: Glorified instruction manual
Summary: 2 Stars
I found that this field guide was somewhat useful in explaining many of the features of the camera and how to use them, but I wish I would have saved my money because the instruction manual has much of that information. I would recommend this to beginners or to someone who wants a somewhat more informative manual than is provided by Nikon. Anyone looking for a how to book on photography using the D80 should look elsewhere.Book Review: Nikon D-80
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought I knew my D80 reasonably well. However, I gained many new insights from the book. I like the inclusion of actual colored pictures of controls and actual colored pictures of results in the small book. I already have marked many pages for future reference.
I recommend you skim over the book and then go back with camera in hand and run through the controls and procedures detailed in the book.
