Format:Paperback
This is my first DSLR, Nikon's manual is user hostile, at least for beginners, so I bought Dennis Thomas "Digital Field Guide for D5000" this was good only if you want to know what he can do with the camera otherwise the book is as useful as the manual. So I decided to try "D5000 for Dummies". Very good, after about a month of frustration with "Field Guide" and disappointment with manual I was able to start using the camera almost immediately. Julie Adair King is really delivers what she promises, if you're a beginner look no further. Oh and the service was very good too.Nikon D5000 for Dummies

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've bought a number of Dummy books over the years and have never been let down. This book walks a fine line between complete beginner and seasoned photographer and gets it right. The joy of these books is the way that they highlight the small, sometimes silly, things that infuriate you because you forget them. It's concise and well thought out. It's idiot proof without being condescending. Recommended to all except the pro' level photographer.

Bought this book for my daughter, who was new to digital SLR photography. We bought her the Nikon D5000 for christmas. The instruction book that came with it, was suitable only for a professional photographer.
We typed in Nikon D5000 for the stupid as a joke and, low and behold, this book came up. My daughter loves this book, as it uses simply terminology and shows simple, but, effective diagrams. I would recommend this book for any beginner or amateur. You won't be disappointed.
