Nikon D3100: From Snapshots to Great Shots

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 July 2012

There are lots of Nikon D3100 manuals and guides and I wouldn't like to say this is better than any of the others but I did download samples of the Kindle editions, where they were available, and made my choice based on that.
Some of the 'Field guides' look good but who can be bothered lugging a book around with them.
Nikon D3100: From Snapshots to Great Shots doesn't try to be a technical manual but what it does do is relate the D3100's features to real life use and shows you how to get the best from the camera's many options.
The book itself is a very good quality paperback with high res images and it is written in a clear but not condescending style. It does assume that if you've coughed up for a relatively expensive camera you are bright enough not to need every tiny point explained in minute detail.
If you just want a technical manual stick with the pdf that is on the CD-Rom that came with your camera.

Overall I'd say if you want something to help you get a better understanding of how to actually use your D3100 to take better photos you can't go wrong with this book.

From Great Shots to Amazing Shots!

I purchased this quite a while back when I first wanted to increase my knowledge and competency after purchasing a D3100 having used an Olympus DSLR years earlier but then having a break from DSLR's for a couple of years. This book was a brilliant refresher for some of the basics I had been away from for too long and a fantastic help with specifics to the D3100 - it made my new camera easy to understand and delivered the details in a way that immerses you in your camera and the book simultaneously, so it never felt arduous or confusing and made me feel involved and hands on from the word go.

I went back to this book several times over a long period, sometimes to refresh my knowledge on aspects of photography I don't utilize that often and sometimes just for inspiration with certain projects. Well worth the price, I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone just starting out or those looking to increase their basic knowledge. I've just purchased a D3300 and was looking at the equivalent for that camera by the same author, so it seemed the right time to finally review this brilliant book before moving on!

Couldn't put this book down!

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!

A Must Read!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 March 2019

Digital SLR's have so many features these days that even for converts from the old film cameras it can be confusing at first. This book walks you through the various facets of the camera, explaining each feature in an easy to understand way. Whether this is your first camera or your tenth, there will be plenty in this book for you. It is written in a way that more experienced photographers can dip in and out to the sections that apply to them, or it can be read cover to cover. This was money well spent in my opinion.

Essential reading for the beginner

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 November 2012

Verified Purchase

I bought this book for my son-in-law who had just bought his first serious camera - the Nikon D3100.

Before he started to read the book, he knew very little about how to get the best from his new investment so the camera was set to the 'green box' i.e. fully automatic. I explained that this was akin to using a point and shoot compact and whilst, he might get better photos because of the larger sensor and better optics, he could do so much better.

This book is taking him through the stages of learning the 'craft' of photography; holding his hand and gently weaning him off the 'green button'. I can already see the results in the photos he has taken.

Already, my son-in-law is itching to get himself a telephoto zoom to supplement the kit lens. I'd lend him mine but I am a Canon man and so my L series lenses won't fit his Nikon!

Got a D3100? New to DSLR? Read this book!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 December 2012

This book is growing the seeds of expression that will be reflected through the lens of my Nikon D3100.
I'm really enjoying reading through the chapters of this book.
I recently took the plunge into DSLR after my stubborn old point and click refused to open up any more. I've had an SLR before (still have - Mamiya MSX500) but I haven't used it for so long with digital being around (about 10 years). Whilst the DLSR is based on the knowledge and techniques of the SLR (exposure, aperture, etc) the DLSR brings with it many things I couldn't do so easily before, e.g. ISO and white balance.
Those extra options are available instantly and altogether the ability of the D3100 can be overwhelming, but reading this book is helping me to overcome the skill gap that's developed. There are so many more variables to take into account and this book is breaking them down successfully. It simplifies the options, explains the difference between all of the modes and it's refreshing my memory for things I learnt about SLR and have forgotten using point & click. I'm developing new skills specific to DSLR, with that I'm developing new ideas and approaches. I love that each of the chapters has a set of challenges at the end of it so you can test the skills and knowledge you've acquired through your reading.
