 To much for a field guide, To little to be called manual. May 25, 2008
35 out of 153 found this review helpful
Section 1 is all that is needed. It covers the basics and why you might use them in a more succinct manor than the manual. The lens and photography type sections are fluff. Thinking about separating section 1 and carrying it in my bag as a true D300 field guide.
 A must have May 22, 2008

Excellent read, well written, easy to navigate - this is a must have if you own the D300. As mentioned, in another review, this book is extremely helpful in learning the menus, settings, features FAST.
Well worth the investment May 22, 2008
122 out of 186 found this review helpful
I found this handbook to be far more useful than the manual that is delivered with the camera. The book describes the camera's features and menus in a logical fashion. I now have a great understanding of the D300's capabilities and can put them to good use.
The first section, Quick Tour, defines the function of each button and allows you the satisfaction of taking pictures immediately. Then Chapter 1 explores each of the controls and displays. Chapter 2 describes the use of each of the settings and automatic photography modes.
The remaining chapters guide you through taking great photos, including exposure, ISO, depth of field, color, light, lens choice, composition basics, and techniques for taking great images in a variety of situations. The final section covers downloading and editing images.
The book is well laid out with many charts, tables and color illustrations. Appendixes and a comprehensive index allow you to find answers to your questions quickly.
Whether you start at the beginning and work your way through methodically or just pick it up and look for guidance on a particular topic, you're going to learn something every time you refer to the book. I did. Well worth the small investment to unlock the potential of your highly capable Nikon D300.
Great D300 book for on the go May 21, 2008
126 out of 192 found this review helpful
This book is perfect for use in the field. I bought this book specifically because it was a small format book I could take along with me for guidance. When I am unsure what menu settings to use, I take this book out of my bag, look up the options, and make adjustments quickly. When I see an opportunity for a great shot, I can look up specifics about shooting different objects in different environments and read three or four pages of advice, illustrated with awesome full color pictures. This book covers all the digital photography basics. It does include all the settings you need for the practice photos, including aperture, shutter speed, ISO setting, etc. Plus the lens used is listed. This book was a great investment - it's helped me get more comfortable with my D300 and I expect that my pictures are just going to keep getting better as I keep using the book to build my knowledge of the camera and of photography in general.
Must-have D300 Guide May 20, 2008
124 out of 189 found this review helpful
This guide to the D300 is aimed at the amateur to prosumer digital SLR photographer, and even has some excellent information for advanced users.
It is well-written, well-illustrated, and covers the subject in depth. I recently purchased a D300, and learned many things here that were nowhere to be found in the user's manual. Additionally, the book is the perfect size to fit in my camera bag - whenever I have a question about a setting, this book is conveniently there with me.
The first part of the book explains all of the features and settings of the camera in clear, well-illustrated format. I found the step-by-step instructions and corresponding pictures of the menus especially helpful. The remainder of the book provides basic information on photographic techniques, and specific suggestions for many types of photography. I found lots of helpful suggestions about everything from portrait to macro photography and more. The photography throughout the book is top notch too!
