Being new to digital photography I decided to take a leap of faith and get the Nikon D5000. I have had extensive experience with film but had a creative block and .... So, happy me when I get the camera as the point and shoot versions of what is now called a camera just did not have the right feel. Then the "oh my God" moment when I started to read the owners manual. It was thicker than the manual on my vehicle. Ok...I am not putting down the D5000 but became very humble in what I did not know.

This book is just that missing link between the owners manual and the D5000. A must have with this camera as it goes into detail with the different menus and what the camera can really do. Being a visual person, I very much like the photos he puts in the book that show examples of what the text is saying. Also, it makes recommendations on accessories that work well with the camera.

Reading this book from cover to cover gives you a very thorough understanding of the features of the D5000. It is a little annoying at times that something is mentioned, but not described until later. That also makes it hard to use this book as a reference - the information is there, but you may have to jump around a bit to find what you need. Still, after reading it all I do know what is possible and I can refer to the D5000 manual to nudge my memory of the details in most cases. If you have a poor memory, though, you might want to look for something a little more linear in format.

Book is useful, slightly better than the manual that was provided with camera.

Some pictures that were used to explain features of D5000 are not exactly that of D5000 !

Excellent guide to the Nikon D5000, i feel alot more informed after reading this book.
The manual provided with the camera didnt give me this level of confidence.
