A Pragmatic Purchase July 14, 2008
Look, you have three book choices if you want to learn NX: (1)The Nikon manual, (2)the CD by Jason Odell, and (3) this book by Ben Long. What's wrong with using all three sources of information when learning a new piece of software? All will add to your knowledge base to some degree depending on how you learn. Long's book is fine and helps you accomplish your goal of becoming proficient at NX. It's color illustrated, available, and is one of three of your only choices. You will not be wasting your money.
I currently use NX2 in conjunction with Photoshop CS3, a user of over 7 years. I find myself gravitating more to NX2 than CS3 and this book helped me in doing so.
Real World Capture NX June 14, 2008
After reading Jason Odell's e-book on the same subject, this hard copy book did not add a great deal of information that I did not already know. However, it is good to have something in my library that covers basically the same topic in a more easily accessible way.
Capture NX a great book June 1, 2008
This has been a great help in learning how to use Capture NX. The author puts things in easy to understand terms and includes good examples. This is more than a book that you would just read, it is an instruction manual for editing your photos. Capture NX is a great program once you learn to use it.

I found Capture NX to be a confusing program for the first-time user, and this book helped explain how to use it in slightly different words than the Nikon manual. It's adequate for a beginner, but probably won't satisfy advanced users of the program. Most of the "Real World" series are much better and contain more depth than this book. Also, the binding is no good. Unleashing the RAW Power of Capture NX (3 Tutorial DVD set) is a much better resource.
