Product Description
Presenting the thoroughly revised, fully illustrated edition of The Nikon Compendium, updated by the technical editor of Nikon Owner magazine to include all the new Nikon cameras, lenses, and accessories. This is what Nikon enthusiasts have eagerly awaited: the most complete Nikon reference book ever. At almost double the length of the original, the guide describes virtually every Nikon camera ever produced, right up to the wide variety of popular digital models. It aids identification, offers user-friendly tips, explains what system fits with which camera, and discusses what limitations occur when equipment from one generation is married to items from another. Professional and amateur photographers, as well as enthusiasts, collectors, and retailers will want this on their bookshelves.

Great reference book August 27, 2008
This is a great book to get all the info related to the large variety of Nikon products. However, I had the impression that it might help me price some Nikon gear I am interested in selling. It does not. When I read the review, before purchase, my impression was it would assist in pricing my equipment. What it perhaps does, is impress you with the rarity or widely produced models, so you can try to determine if it is worth some money. Otherwise, the book lived up to my expectations of a very comprehensive collection of data on the very varied line of Nikon camera products.
 A copmpanion of each Nikon owner July 26, 2008
I had read the early ediction, but this new is superb. This is the best companion book for all Nikon owners!!!!
New Nikon Compendium : short review July 13, 2007
Compared to the former 'Nikon Compendium' this book has a lot more pictures and was of course expanded to include all the models up to the date of publishing. I got the impression though that it has not been reviewed very well before going to press : there are quite some editing errors (line breaks in the middle of sentences or words f.ex.) and grammar errors that could have been avoided if the manuscript hadn't been rushed to the printer. I also expected more in depth comments on the lenses and some camera models - the stress has clearly been laid on the digital bodies. Some accessories have been omitted or important details have not been adressed at all (just an example : the fact that early filters had chrome rings and later black rings - a detail, but something worth noting IMO). The book missed a chance to really be THE reference book on all things Nikon. Otherwise, lots of pages and pictures for the money!

A thorough and well done work on the history of Nikon. It is better in my opinion than another book titled "Nikon - A Celebration".
