 Best book on the D300 May 31, 2008
52 out of 55 found this review helpful
By far the best book on the Nikon D300. Whereas most competing books do a quick overview of the options and then launch into generic how to take pictures advice (which is likely too simplistic and therefore not useful to someone who shells out major bucks for the D300), Busch's book concentrates almost exclusively on the various (and seemingly infinite) options for the D300. The book is clear and absolutely essential for those who have bought (or want to buy) a D300. I actually bought the book before buying the camera, and reading it convinced me to buy. The documentation that comes with the camera is clear but doesn't help decide when the various options might be useful. Most of the other books on the D300 are not much of an improvement in that regard. Busch's book is. Also the Busch book is extremely helpful on various accessories; the Nikon site is useless in deciding which of various versions of some accessories are important to buy. Several minor errors, a result of rush to publication, but not troublesome.
David Busch, where were you when I had all my other Nikons? May 19, 2008

I just traded all my old Nikons for a D300 and knowing that the factory manual would be almost unintelligible both because of the language as well as its physical size, I automatically searched for but was unsuccessful in finding my old stand-by - the Magic Lantern Guide to (you name the camera). Fortunately, I came upon this book and based solely on the recommendations of others on this site, I purchased it. Physically larger than the Magic Lantern series, his book is much easier to read and the information is so very clearly presented that it is a pleasure to read. The illustrations are very clear, well-labeled and informative.In comparison to the Magic Lantern series which I had for my other Nikons, this book is far and away superior. If you have D300 and do not have extensive experience with advanced digital SLR's, this is the best guide that I have seen so far. Buy it!,
Highly recommended book May 19, 2008

I bought this book as soon as I got my new D300, I had to pre-ordered it from Amazon and got it after a month waiting. It worth the time waiting. This book is an absolute must for any D-300 owner. It explain in detail the camera and its accessories and have invaluable recommendations for both professionals and amateurs on how to use this extremely powerful camera.
It money well spent if you are the owner of one of these Nikon jewels.

David Busch's Nikon D300 guide to Digital SLR Photography May 13, 2008
42 out of 46 found this review helpful
This is an excellent guide for owners of the fantastic Nikon D300! The author certainly knows the camera and his photography expertise adds another dimension to the learning process. I was very impressed with the full color photos that accompany the text and the guide is layed out in an extremely organized manner. David's hints and recommendations for particular settings were invaluable to me for getting started with the camera. This is a great value.
Excellent, and VERY well written! May 30, 2008

I bought the D300 the day it was released last November. I read and re-read and re-read the included manual. It is a typical Nikon user guide, poorly written and difficult to absorb. I've recently read David's book and am ASTOUNDED at how simple everything really is to understand and use! I flagged and highlighted the things I use most often for quick reference. This book will travel with me everywhere my camera goes. It has a nice, safe, and permanent place among my other gear. It's invaluable and AMAZINGLY written in comprehendable sentences. It's written for a real life photographer like myself. I'm grateful to have gotten this book. It's opened up all the possibilities of my camera to me. Possibilities I missed in the technobabble of the D300 user manual. I no longer carry the user manual with me. It's a nice dust collector on my desk now.
