 A must have for the D200 owner November 6, 2007

This book is much better written than the manual that Nikon supplies. I am very glad I purchased it.
 Precisely what I was after October 31, 2007

I have this and the Digital Field Guide. I believe they are written for entirely different people which is why some hate one and love the other. The Magic Lantern is for people who have a reasonable understanding of photography but want a clearer more detailed explanation of the manual. They want to get the most out of a complex camera, they don't need a "how to take pictures" book. The Field Guide is more aimed at people buying their first digital SLR that want to graduate from taking snapshots. Half the book is taken up with basic techniques on picture taking whilst the technical side is very basic.
I love this book because it really explains everything in detail and also gives the reader his opinion on the usefulness of different settings for different scenarious. I have learnt so much from this book and now feel a lot more comfortable with the cameras ins and outs.
My opinion is if you are an advanced amateur or higher then this is the book to get if you want to understand your camera properly. If you are new to photography then maybe go for the Field Guide as you might find this a bit dry.

The Magic Lantern D200 guide is merely a slightly expanded version of the factory manual, it's barely bigger in size and B/W. The "bonus" quick reference card is very basic - as a D200 user you're unlikely to get any use out of the quick reference card unless you have difficulty remembering what ISO, WB, Mode etc. stand for.
The second D200 guide I've got is the Digital Field Guide. It is the better guide out of the two, but not by much. Unfortunately neither guide is very good at telling you how to get the best out of your camera.
The "should have been the manual" guide book July 15, 2007

Despite its grayness cover and photos, this book is clear, straight forward
and very comprehensive manual. This book is the manual that should have been
included in the kit instead what's included today.
OK! July 6, 2007
