 The Ultimate D60 Guide July 23, 2008

I agree with the reviewer who called this book an entirely new approach to camera guidebooks. The tired old formula followed by the other guides simply won't work with a camera that has as many features as the Nikon D60. This one isn't intended as a pocket guide that you tuck away in your camera bag and don't pull out unless you have some emergency to contend with. For anyone who has had their camera for a few weeks, the manual packed in the box by Nikon will serve just as well as a reference.
"David Busch's Nikon D60 Guide to Digital SLR Photography" is not a tiny field guide that re-hashes the Nikon manual. Instead, it's a full sized 325 page book that covers everything you need to know about the camera in a surprising amount of depth. Busch explains each control and menu setting and devotes pages and pages to explaining how and why you'd want to use them. There are plenty of large color photos explaining each topic (some of the small guidebooks have only black and white photos.) While most of the book deals directly with the Nikon D60, its accessories, and advice on how to choose specific Nikon lenses, there is also a good foundation of basic photographic knowledge on using histograms, working with depth of field, and so forth.
Amazingly enough, Busch manages to explore the camera in depth without confusing new photographers. He starts each section at a basic level, and then continues with the more advanced techniques and information you'll need as you grow in your hobby. Although my main camera is a Nikon D300, I absolutely love my D60 as a walkaround camera, and I found this book to be a fast introduction to its features and use. I already understood some of the more advanced material, but I can see where beginners will thrive on the clear, complete explanations. If you own a Nikon D60 or are thinking of buying one, you owe it to yourself to get this book. You can't find this information on the web, and most of it isn't in the other guidebooks, either.

I have been away from photography for a while and this book made my return painless. It is written in plain language and is much easier to follow than the owners manual. Skip the "all about me" section up front and go right to the first chapter. Worth the price!

The book was all that I hoped it would be. Much, much easier to locate specific information (versus the standard manual) and I like the photos that really help understand specific parts of the camera.

I purchased this book to learn about my new Nikon D60 and also a little about photography. This book was the right move as it covers both topics very well and reader friendly. I highly suggest it for beginning photographers as myself.
