5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for beginners 6 Jan 2011
By Paul
Format:Paperback
The D3100 comes with a really helpful and easy to read user manual. Although the manual shows how a camera feature is accessed, what is missing is why it should be used to enhance one's photography. This book helps fill that gap. It's an easy read, jargon free and assumes little DSLR experience. To be fair to the D3100 the camera's 'guide mode' makes a pretty good job of explaining the camera's features, but clearly it is not as easy to read as a book. Just be aware that this book is a re-write of the D5000 version of the book (and possibly the D3000 version) so if you have these books then it's unlikely you'll get much more out of this version.

I'm new in DSLR photography, bought Nikon D3100 recently and haven't got a clue what all these buttons are for. Tried to read the user manual and got quite confused. After searching a little bit found this book. This is a great Book with great contents. Easy to read description with tips and best practice ideas which can save any entry level photographers life. Very easy and effective description about most photography terms according to D3100 with relevant photos. Every Chapter finishes with assignments which is really helpful for entry level photographers like me...

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put this book down! 18 July 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Being new to a DSLR Camera, i can't stress enough how good this book is. I'm an ex qualified lithographic printer, and believe me, the pics and illustrations are second to none during every explanation. When reading this book also, i don't know how he does it for the reader, but he gets you involved from the word go. He makes everything hassle free, and you just want to keep picking it up. Learning from this book is like second nature, as everything is so clearly explained and easily understood without getting frustrated. This is a must for all D3100 owners, as it allows you to enjoy and appreciate great results at the click of a button. 10/10 for me!
