 D60 guide September 23, 2008

After wading through the skimpy Nikon manual for this excellent camera a few times, I bought the David Busch book.I was desperate for intelligent information.
The official manual was confusing, many references to other pages, badly written, and ineffective.
Busch should be complimented on his excellent book which is easy to follow, and contains many first class photographs of different parts of the camera in each chapter to clearly assist the reader.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has bought the Nikon D60.
 Alternative to manual August 26, 2008
I recently bought the new Nikon D60 prior to travelling overseas. I lost the new manual during this travel. This book is better than the manual since it is written by a user who understands what is important and how to set up for those difficult shots you miss when travelling. Simple to read and good with the basics and also for those who want those special pictures.
Great Book!!! August 8, 2008

I looked at other D60 guides, but chose this one. It is very well laid out. David puts everything in an easy to understand context. If there is a particular setting that I am looking for, I can simply turn right to it without flipping through the whole book. This book is great for experienced and beginners with DSLR cameras. If you have a D60, you need this book. Thanks for a great book.

This book is an excellent source of detailed information for the amateur and advanced user alike. David speaks directly to you, but in a respectful and easy-to-understand manner that is comforting and makes the guide a pleasure to read. It contains invaluable information that any D60 user can appreciate and use to drastically improve their photographs and take their knowledge of photography to a whole new level. It explains features of the camera that I never knew existed, and instructs you clearly about not only how to use such features, but perhaps more importantly, why and when.
A superb guide for any and all Nikon D60 users.

I was familiar with Busch's work from his many articles in Popular Photography and other photo magazines, as well as books like Digital SLR Pro Secrets,so I grabbed this huge introduction to photography as soon as it became available. I was not disappointed. His expertise really shows in this huge introduction to photography with the Nikon D60. Virtually everything you need to know about this camera is included between the covers.
The level of detail and clarity of explanations far exceeds that of the traditional camera guide. He devotes 65 pages to a thorough explanation of each control and feature of the D60, and how to use them, illustrated with large color photos. Then, beginners and more advanced photogs alike are treated to 81 pages that clear up the mysteries of the D60's menus, and when to use particular options. There are 40 pages of advice on exposure and advanced shooting with the D60, and 30 wonderful pages describing Nikon lenses and the author's extensive experience with each of them. There's 30 pages of tips on using Nikon's CLS flash system that should be enough for any strobe shooter.
Only 10 pages are devoted to introducing Nikon software, but I wouldn't want more than that, anyway. I'm glad that nearly all of this book directly relates to photography with the D60. Who wants a book padded with general photo advice, software descriptions, etc.? Heck, the 20 page trouble shooting chapter alone was worth the price of the book, as it includes instructions for cleaning the sensor, which I discovered is sometimes required even with a camera that has built in sensor cleaning.
All in all this book showed me why when I want the last word in Nikon expertise, David Busch provides all the answers.
