 Tries to cover too much... October 18, 2008

This is an OK book, but not as focused as I was hoping. In addition to covering operation of the D60, it covers several topics more broadly related to digital photography including exposure, lighting, and more -- he could have written all this stuff for ANY camera... why waste chapters in a book about the D60??? Plus, it spends entire chapters just rephrasing stuff that is in the manual (a "tour" of the D60 is just page after page of pictures pointing out where all the various buttons, dials, etc. are... all this is covered in the manual!).
I suppose if you are a real rookie in this area, don't know any of this stuff, can't be bothered with reading the manual, or just like the pretty color pictures in this book, this stuff might be useful. But I was looking for a book that focuses on how to get the most out of the D60, and this book definately disappoints in that area.

I owned a couple of nikons before which helped, but I still thought the information was well written and had terrific illustrations. The book made it even easier to use the camera.

After wading through the skimpy Nikon manual for this excellent camera a few times, I bought the David Busch book.I was desperate for intelligent information.
The official manual was confusing, many references to other pages, badly written, and ineffective.
Busch should be complimented on his excellent book which is easy to follow, and contains many first class photographs of different parts of the camera in each chapter to clearly assist the reader.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has bought the Nikon D60.

I recently bought the new Nikon D60 prior to travelling overseas. I lost the new manual during this travel. This book is better than the manual since it is written by a user who understands what is important and how to set up for those difficult shots you miss when travelling. Simple to read and good with the basics and also for those who want those special pictures.
Great Book!!! August 8, 2008

I looked at other D60 guides, but chose this one. It is very well laid out. David puts everything in an easy to understand context. If there is a particular setting that I am looking for, I can simply turn right to it without flipping through the whole book. This book is great for experienced and beginners with DSLR cameras. If you have a D60, you need this book. Thanks for a great book.
