 Great guide for learning how to get the most out of your D300 July 14, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
When I first got my D80, a friend recomended the Magic Lantern book for the D80. It was a great guide that helped me learn how to set some options to maximize the performance of my D80 by someone who had used it. When I upgraded to my D300, the first thing I did was preorder this version of the book. Luckily, it was made by the same author.
These books aren't intended for those who are just trying to learn the basics of the camera. They are made for those looking to get the best possible performance from it for their specific needs. As I read through this book, I immediately began looking for specific sections to help learn about and make adjustments to the configuration of my D300.
The author of this book does a good job of adding notes of the pros and cons of changing different settings that allow you to make some informed decisions about your camera.

This book was recommended to me by a friend but I really don't like it much. First, contrary to my expectation it is NOT written in a noticeably more congenial, easy-to-follow style than the manual that came with my camera. I believed the idea was a to provide a very usable alternative to the lingo of the manual and I don't see any of that. In fact I find the writing quite poor overall and there are an incredible number of typos, suggesting that it was rushed to print in order to play to the market for this very popular camera (even though it's been about 9 months since the camera came to market).
If this is any indication of their typical quality then I think the Magic Lantern guides are overrated and suspect that a more user-friendly alternative would have a good chance in the marketplace.
