Does what it says on the cover!!,
By Nicola (Lichfield) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nikon D3000 For Dummies (For Dummies (Lifestyles Paperback)) (Paperback)
Having recently purchased a Nikon DSLR D3000, and wanting to get more from it than just using automatic modes, I set about to find a good book for complete DSLR beginners.I found this book to be written in easy to understand language, jargon is broken down so you can understand what it all means and gently pushes you along to want to take 'creative control' and just mess about with the settings, but understand the settings so you can begin to create the look you want. If you really are a complete beginner and have moved up from your point and click automatic to the world of DSLR, then I would recommend this book to you. If you already have a good idea what the settings are and know about fstops etc, then it might be a bit too basic and no doubt other publications that go into more technical details will be more appropriate.

nikon d3000 for dummies,
By John (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nikon D3000 For Dummies (For Dummies (Lifestyles Paperback)) (Paperback)
I got my City and Guilds in Photography more than ten years ago, film cameras were the norm. Hours in smelly darkrooms to produce an image good enough to be used.Then digital came along, I resisited for a while then got a hybrid as this was all I could afford recently retired, it was adequate but not a real camera, my photography waned to just the usual holiday, which was rare, and christmas shots. So when that camera gave up the ghost I got myself a real camera, a Nikon D3000, then discovered just how much I had forgotten and also the extent that technology had moved on. The booklet was of limited use, I needed to relearn and in basic easy to read and follow instructions, someone recommended the Dummies range of books, so I got one. It is easy to read and follow so that a complete novice can grasp a working understanding of the camera and also reawaken long forgotten techniques of photography for people like me, perfect, I have read it twice now and still refer to it on occasions. Best book I have bought in ages.
