A Godsend for this D300 owner

I have several competitors' books and dvd's for my D300, I am a writer with not an ounce of techie in me - my camera is used for art and that's how I approach photography. This book WAS A GODSEND!!! The extra large schematics of every LCD and custom menu screen was like water to a parched and frustrated traveler. I only wish I had gotten Busch's D200 book 2 yrs ago for my D200 instead of the dipsy-doodle Elite Video series where you watch a goon in a funny hat and another with big thumbs try and explain the many dials and settings of these magnificent pieces of equipment. Suffice it to say, I bought Busch's book, and immediately called my artist sister who also owns the D300, and said FINALLY a book we can understand with wonderfully articulate text coupled with great graphics. Maybe after I finish this excellent road map, Hogan's guide will make more sense to me.

Great manual for the D300

Compared to the previous manuals I have owned for the D200, including the field guide by David Busch, this is the best. It covers not only the how-to but the why. Great illustrations, clear writing and a wealth of detail make this the second thing you should buy after your D300.

An Excellent D300 Guide Book

David Busch's Nikon D300 is an excellent guide for an excellent camera with complex multiple options. I highly recommend it to all D300 users with the possible exception of expert D200 users who need only become familiar with the several upgrades and new options.

The only fault, if it is one, for this extensively detailed guide book is that generic, basic photographic instruction is included and superficially covered when it would have been preferable, from my point of view, for those pages to be used for an easily referenced table listing all the D300 menu options. But, with over 400 pages covering all aspects of D300 use in detail with numerous high quality illustrations, photos and clear, easily followed language, this is a very minor complaint.

The best by far of any camera guide part of my experience yet published and as a bonus, it is priced at less than half the cost of many other photographic books of similar size and quality.

Required reading/purchase

Purchased the D300 and read the Nikon owners manual. David Busch's Nikon D300 book does a better job of explaining in detail the functionality, purpose and ability of this wonderful camera. Simply stated, buy this book even if you think that you "know" this camera, you will not be disappointed.

Some changes next time.

I think overall the book is quite well written. The only suggestion that I have is that there is too much comparison between other models of the Nikon cameras which I felt were not needed. Few people who read this book will have the D3 to be concerned about how it compares to the D300. For some who do not have any of the other models they do not make any difference when trying to learn more about the D300. There is a lot of time spent describing various lenses that could be used with the D300 that is probably not necessary either. To mention the three "always have" lenses is ok, but the rest, in my mind were not needed. Also talking about the various speed lights that are available could be covered in a book specifically about the speed light the user owns and will use with the camera. I purchased the book to learn more about the D300 and it did that plus.
