 Tries to cover too much... October 18, 2008

This is an OK book, but not as focused as I was hoping. In addition to covering operation of the D60, it covers several topics more broadly related to digital photography including exposure, lighting, and more -- he could have written all this stuff for ANY camera... why waste chapters in a book about the D60??? Plus, it spends entire chapters just rephrasing stuff that is in the manual (a "tour" of the D60 is just page after page of pictures pointing out where all the various buttons, dials, etc. are... all this is covered in the manual!).
I suppose if you are a real rookie in this area, don't know any of this stuff, can't be bothered with reading the manual, or just like the pretty color pictures in this book, this stuff might be useful. But I was looking for a book that focuses on how to get the most out of the D60, and this book definately disappoints in that area.
Not bad... Not good either July 22, 2008

I bought this book 3 months after I bought the D60. From the table of contents. I thought that the book will have examples of what happens to an image if a particular setting was set in a particular way. Well, that didn't happen. Yes, the explanation for each setting is clearer than the manual, but any lay person could figure them out by taking test shots.
The parts about photography tips in general can be found on the net if one does a little web surfing. I did find, however, little bits of information here and there that I have not come across over the last 3 months.
This is a book you SHOULD buy at the same time as you buy your camera. If you have your D60 for a while and have played with it for while. It should offer little additional information. Also, despite the author's claim that the target audience include intermediate to pros, it really is written for someone who's brand new to dSLR AND photography.
I guess I would have been a lot more satisfied with this book had it been available when I first bought my camera. Lesson for the day, don't buy the new camera until David has published his guide for it.
