Nikon D60 Digital Field Guide

If you've got a Nikon D60, then you'll be looking at this and wondering if this is worth buying to get more out of your camera....If all you want to do is learn what all the buttons do, then don't bother buying this. The same info is contained in the comprehensive manual that came with your camera.If you're looking to learn better photography, then there are better, more detailed manuals and books on this subject available.If however you're looking for a small book, that you can take with you that will allow you to refresh your memory on the cameras functions, or what's the right way to set up a shot, and what kinds of lens to pick for a given style of photography, and reminders for all those other things its easy to forget, then this book's invaluable when you are out and about.Small enough that it will easily fit in your camera bag, yet detailed enough and organised properly so that you can make better shots on the fly, this will help you make the most of your D60.Definitely reccomended

I inherited a D60 and wanted to test out whether I'd be interested in taking photography seriously. I'm better at the techy stuff than picture composition but so far (and I've not used it much) it's giving me the sort of information that will help me compose decent pictures too. The book explains when you might want to use each of the different automatic settings, which is really useful for practicing different aspects of the camera one at a time, eg when you want to concentrate on shutter speed, or depth of field. It also looks at use of light, taking pics in poor light etc and on holiday recently (without the book) I helped a friend take a decent shot when he felt the light wasn't sufficient! So I'd recommend it for someone like me at the beginning of a journey towards being a good photographer.

I go along with Chris R's review of this tidy alternative to the (very good) Nikon manual that comes with this neat DSLR.After a few years of using compact digitals, I missed my old 35mm SLRs, and plumped for the D-60 as a light but full-featured camera that is well-built, has a nice weight and is an excellent entry into the world of high-quality digital photography.The Field guide is like a manual-plus in that it covers all the knobs-and-dials bits, then has much more detailed tips and reminders as to how to get the best out of the kit.A bargain at the price, penned by an enthusiast who obviously likes the camera itself, and all in full colour. An easy way to learn your way about with this fairly complex tool, and delivered in a remarkable 36hrs.

I bought this field guide after my wife bought me a Nikon D60 for my birthday unfortunately the seller she purchased it from, here on Amazon, was from Holland and naturally the camera came with a dutch instruction book. Being from Glasgow dutch aint a language I am familiar with. After manfully struggling to figure out the camera by myself I gave up and bought this field manual.Best decision ever. Not only did it explain all the setttings and functions but it also supplies a myriad of helpful photography hints.Being a total amatuer these were very helpful and improved my shots overnight.If you need help with the D60 or just want to improve your photography a little this book is perfect.

I purchased the D60 about a year ago and gave up on the user manual, I managed to work out the basics, but missed some of the old features I was used to using with a standard film based SLR. I knew the features were packed in there someplace; this book has helped me to locate and use some great features. If you are new to photography and the D60 this is a great guide, taking you through the features of the camera and some useful stuff on general photographic technique.
