4.0 out of 5 stars Non-patronising yet easy to follow, 28 Mar 2009
Like many people, I moved from digital photography with a compact camera to a dSLR without really thinking about the differences. I knew I would be able to take better pictures, I knew that I would be able to play with exposure time and focus in a way that the compact would not allow but I didn't actually know how to do it.

The Nikon D60 manual (supplied with the camera) is great if you already know what you want to do - what I needed was a book to bridge the gap between the nuts and bolts functions of the camera and those wonderful pictures I've been dreaming up since acquiring my D60. This is it.

David Busch explains what all the functions do and when to use them. It's a bit dry in some places but it encourages you to play with your new camera, to experiment and learn through experience. It's a really good book for those who are new to dSLR photography as well as new to the D60. It won't tell you an awful lot about the artistic side of photography (for this, I would recommend a book like "40 Digital Photography Techniques" or its dSLR equivalent) but it does demystify the D60.

The only downside was the fact that there's a list in the first couple of chapters of essentials, where the author tries to flog everything (branded, of course!) from tripods to lenses. Also, it is written for the American market so you may be a little cheesed off to find that most of the camera equipment mentioned is twice the price in the UK compared to the US. One example of this was the spare battery (which is actually a sensible investment, especially if you travel with your camera): in the UK, it was listed as £45 but I bought it on amazon.com for $35. Same Nikon branded battery.

The other downside was the chapter about connecting the D60 to your PC. Obviously we all have to upload the pictures but given the diversity of PCs and software we use, it was a little redundant.

All in all, a great start to using your D60 (much better than the manual) but far from being a definitive guide.
