Product Description

Product Description

Mastering the Nikon D700 provides a wealth of information and professional insights for owners of this powerful new camera. Each chapter explores the features and capabilities of the D700 in detail, surpassing basic user manuals by providing step-by-step menu setting adjustments coupled with illustrations and logical explanations for each option. The authors' writing style allows the reader to follow directions in a friendly and informative manner, as if a friend dropped in to share his experienced knowledge without "talking down" to you, explaining the how and the why.

The learning experience for D700 beginners (and refresher information for professionals) goes beyond the camera itself. When camera features and options expand to additional Nikon equipment (such as with the use of optional Speedlights) the authors add the necessary information. Their frequent references to user manuals provided by Nikon (complete with specific page references) allow the reader to easily navigate past the confusion factor that often comes with new equipment.

Mastering the Nikon D700 is another title in the Nikonians Press series-the exciting, new, joint venture between Nikonians and Rocky Nook.

About the Author

Darrell Young (DigitalDarrell) is an information technology engineer by trade. He's been an avid photographer since 1968 when his mother gave him a Brownie Hawkeye camera.

Darrell has used Nikon cameras and Nikkor lenses since 1980. He has an incurable case of Nikon Acquisition Syndrom (NAS) and delights in working with Nikon's newest digital cameras.

Living near Great Smoky Mountains National Park has given him a real concern for, and interest in, nature photography.

He loves to write, as you can see in the Resources area of the Nikonians.org community. He joined the community in 2000 and his literary contributions led to an invitation to become a Founding Member of the Nikonians Writers Guild.

Truly Excellent! 5 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback
I've bought them all, from Simon Stafford to J Dennis Thomas. Although very good guides for the Nikon D700, this book took my learning to another level. Explanations of menus and how to get the best out of them is really worth while and it's worth buying the book for that reason alone. At last I fully understand areas, which although a previous D80 and D300 user, I never fully appreciated. For example Nikon's Creative Lighting system is explained thoughtfully and described superbly. I really do think if anyone is contemplating buying a D700, then this book should be purchased with the camera.

Great book 9 Nov 2009
Format:Paperback
Well written, goes well beyond the manufacturers manual. Having upgraded I was struggling to come to terms with the advantage of the many new features of the D700, this book helped. Also it allowed me to develop a strategy for camera set up which has resulted in improve prints. Well worth the investment, if you are upgrading from a 4 year old plus camera.

A users dream 12 May 2010
Format:Paperback
I have had a keen interest in photography for 40 years and for the last 20 years my equipment has been almost exclusively Nikon. Over this time, I believed that I have developed a better than average knowledge of equipment and techniques. However a friend who himself is a very competent photographer told me that this was a book that he could not put down. Consequently, I purchased the book via Amazon and have found that I have learned so much more as to regards improving my understanding of camera technique and operating conditions in the last few weeks, that I can do no more than rate this book has an essential for every D700 owner.
The Co-Authors have put together a book that covers in detail virtually every action, process and technique that the D700 is capable of. The bonus being that it is written by people who not only have a love of photgraphy and the knowledge to explore all facets of the equipment, but more importantly have the skill to write in a style that is so easy to read.
No matter how deep you believe that your own knowledge is, I guarantee that you will be amazed on how much extra you will learn.

Excellent as far as it goes.
Excellent quality print - full colour, good examples. The "homesey" American style is a bit patronising to the UK ear on occasion. The camera set-ups and advice are well presented. Read more

Not a "D700 for Dummies" but information(with some good recommendations) about all functions, taken to a level above the "box" Nikon manual.
