Customer Reviews

Know your D300 Camera better
This book does much better to help in understanding and operating the D300 than the users manual that comes with the camera. It's well written and well illustrated. While the Nikon users manual tells you what the many switches and menu items do, Busch's book explains the reasoning behind making each selection.

Bad Bad Bad
This book is just plain bad.
Spends half the book telling you that he will discuss the topic in another chapter.. really bad.
Its a choppy ramble and not a well crafted book.
Try Mastering the Nikon D300 by Darrel Young.. I just bought it and was relived to find it to be the book I was truly looking for.

THE BEST FOR THE STARTER
THE BOOK IS SIMPLY FANTASTIC. VERY EASY TO READ EVEN IF YOU DON'T KNOW VERY WELL THE ENGLISH. YOU CAN FIND ALL THE MENU ITEMS VERY WELL EXPLAINED AND EVEN A LITTLE EXPLANATION OF DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY TECHNICS.
