1.Nikon D40/D40x Digital Field Guide by: David D. Busch September 25, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £13.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.79 You Save: £4.20 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.30
Firstly - dump the manual that came with your D40 in the drawer - it is next to useless if you are new to a dSLR. Then open this book and find your way around the extensive features that this 'beginners' dSLR offers. The book is well written with multiple supporting illustrations. It quickly unravels some of what seem at first complicated menus and sub menus. I quickly found out as an example how to limit the ISO rating the camera uses on ISO Auto, I won't tell you here, you'll have to buy the book!!! but it solved for me the issue of noise that had crept into some of my pictures when using ISO auto. Again quickly found out how to switch off the graphic representation of the shooting settings and get ... Read More:

2.Digital SLR Cameras and Photography for Dummies (For Dummies) by: David D. Busch October 19, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £19.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £11.99 You Save: £8.00 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £10.79
I think I must need a 'Total Idiot's Guide' as this was not what I thought it would be. Being a complete beginner with dSLR, I thought this book would be a step-by-step guide on 'How To....' I was a bit wide of the mark - although the book says a lot about why you should do this over that, etc it left me lost on how to actually do it. So I'm using my camera on Auto until my Nikon book arrives. Let's hope I'll have more success with that one.

3.Nikon D80 Digital Field Guide by: David D. Busch May 29, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £13.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.79 You Save: £4.20 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.84
I have bought a number of camera manuals over the years from Lantern guides to Hove foto books, and they have all really done little more than re-hash the camera manual. The Digital Field guide starts with the manual and simplifies it and pulls out lots of useful customisation settings on the D80. It very quickly helps you around all the key featrures of the camera, then digs deeper into some key areas of operation. It is clearly and logiclly written and with lots of clean illustrations. The latter half is made up of a lot of general photography tips and an experienced photographer may skip a lot of this section, although I have to put my hand up and admit it refreshed me on a couple of key elements around flash. If you have bought a D80 and ... Read More:

4.Canon EOS 40D Guide to Digital Photography by: David D Busch November 16, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £20.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £22.83
The first part of the book is just an extended manual. It goes through the camera menus and settings just like the manual does, although in a bit more details. In the second part of the book talks about exposure, lenses and lightning, and finishes off with a bit about image download and 40D troubleshooting. Whether or not you will get something out of this book depends heavily on long you have had your 40D and how long you have been take photographs. If the 40D is your very first digital SLR camera, and you have only just bought it, this book will teach you a lot of new stuff and will properly be of great value. If you have owned previous Canon SLR cameras, or if you have been using the 40D for a while, the first ... Read More:

5.Nikon D50 Digital Field Guide by: David D. Busch November 18, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £13.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.09 You Save: £4.90 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.07
Forget the basic and unhelpful user book that comes with the D50. As an entry leve Digital SLR camera, I love the Nikon D50, but the manual that comes with it explains the basics on the settings etc. but gives you very little insight into getting the best from your camera. This will take you through the A to Z of how to get the best from your D50, and really will improve your pictures.

6.Digital Photography All-in-One Desk Reference for Dummies (For Dummies) by: David D. Busch September 19, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £25.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £16.89 You Save: £9.10 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.17
Anyone who knows the series knows that these books aren't really for dummies,they're for people who want a wide range of answers, clearly and simply presented, but with a thoroughness that will satisfy even people with a good knowledge of the topic. An essential introduction and with a good dose of humour too.

7.Nikon D70 Digital Field Guide by: David D. Busch August 05, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.44 You Save: £4.55 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.04
I bought this book, on spec from Amazon a couple of years ago, because I found the accompanying manual difficult to read. It was small writing, and often confusing, I had to read the paragraphs several times to really understand it. This book, in some ways isn't much better. However, I find it easier to read, as it is slightly more chatty. The text size is also more readable. However, I tend to keep it in the camera bag, as a source of reference. As such it is useful to have on holidays etc. Then if yo need to refresh your memory the information is there. Also I ahve used it as a time waster when waiting for flights, or passing time at the pool etc. So over all, nothing more than a glorified manual, but for the ... Read More:

9.Nikon D200 Digital Field Guide by: David D. Busch July 14, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £13.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.09 You Save: £4.90 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.68
The main problem I find with this book is that all it seems to do is copy much of its information out of the original Nikon User Guide and doesn't explain much of it in any greater detail - probably the main reason for getting it in the first place! At least the Nikon Guide is written in a logical order - not so with Mr Busch's effort! It also hardly mentions the personal customisation settings that are available on the D200 - something that I was particularly interested in. Not even the Field Projects section is described in anything more than a brief explanation for each topic. THIS BOOK LACKS DETAIL!! Get Simon Stafford's Magic Lantern Guide instead - it's far superior
