Product Description
Simon Stafford, the Technical Editor to the Nikon Owners' Club International's Nikon Owner magazine, tells all about the company's new semi-pro camera, the D300. He explains how to make the most of the model's up-to-the-minute attributes, including the 12.3 effective megapixel Nikon DX-format CMOS image sensor with integrated A/D converter and the increased bit precision of selectable 14-bit NEF (RAW) output.
Customer Reviews
incomplete update from D200 version of same book
Alas, this book reads like a hurried update of the D200 guide. In fact, there is at least one typo in the book that describes the "D200" instead of the D300 -- and not as a comparison.
The book also falls short in de-mystifying camera-specific D300 topics like long exposures. For example, I wanted to take some night shots and could not find any complete description of how to use the Bulb setting. I ended up going back to the Nikon D300 manual.
The book contains some useful photography tips, otherwise I would have rated it even lower.
Had I bought it from Amazon, I would have returned this book.
GETS TO THE POINT
Provided just what I was looking for - information for the beginner, but also info for the experienced dSLR (Nikon) user. Technical info available for those who need it. Not a book for beginners who need basic photography advice in addition to the nuts & bolts of the D300.
Easy to Understand
I found this book very easy to understand and explain the complicated workings of this camera. I'd recommend the Magic Lantern Guides for any of the products they have books for. This is my 2nd Magic Lantern book. The first one was for the Nikon D2H. Well worth the price.
