I am so grateful for Blue Crane Digital. This DVD helped me so much; I can not find words that would fully describe my gratitude!

This DVD is perfect for people who DO NOT KNOW how to operate the D70 to take GREAT pictures. When I received my D70 on April 16 I opened the box AND WAS TOTALLY LOST AFTER READING THE MANUAL. I felt overwhelmed. I love photography and I wanted a good Camera, however to make great pictures not ORDINARY ones; I knew the camera could not create skillful operation for me... I needed help, and quick. I tried for several days on my own to learn various basic principles and felt totally frustrated and I do not have a learning disability. I wanted to continue to love the camera and not be held hostage by the dissatisfaction of my skills.

I searched Amazon.com and found this DVD; After viewing the DVD for the first time and following the easy instructions and great advice my skill level expanded greatly in days. My performance and knowledge increase every time I watch this rendition of quick expansion (DVD). The narrator's speech is rhythmic and he gives simple clear instructions with many visual examples of what to do and how. A definite example of "a picture is worth a thousand words." I have spent much money on how to books that attempt to discuss what is presented in this DVD. I could have saved myself much time, money and frustration if I had known about this DVD. However, I know now so HURRY and buy one of the remaining copies.

I would have given a rating of 5 stars if the DVD was carried by Amazon.com and not the marketplace sellers. This item should be a member of Amazon.com's inventory.

Nikon, this DVD should be shipped with every purchase of the Nikon D70 Digital SLR!

This video is an excellent guide to the D70. I almost didn't buy it as a result of reading the review below. In my opinion, the quality is fine and the information is very helpful. The D70 has alot of features that take some time to get comfortable with. The video gave me what I needed to get started and then was a great reference as I got more experienced. I found watching the video was a good start. Then I got out and took some pictures. Then watched the video. Then took more pictures. Then watched the video again. You get the idea. I have found it helpful each time I have watched it. The only improvement I would make is to have additional videos available to proceed to more advanced topics once you get this one mastered.

The Nikon D70/D70S DVD is an excellent resource for gaining additional information about the camera. Like a book, you can review all the information, or jump to certain sections for refresher info.
This was a great purchase for me.

This DVD is a useful guide to Nikon's amazing D70. It demonstrates many of the practical uses of the D70's Exposure Modes, which lie beyond the automatic point-and-shoot settings. It also demonstrates the purpose of each knob and button. If you can't afford Nikon School, this DVD is reasonable alternative.

I thought this dvd for the price was great. I would not pay much more for it. The owners manual that comes with the camera discribes the features and functions as if you already know about digital SLR's. This video "dummy's" it up a bit. It does need to talk more about how to take better pics than how to use computer software. Over all i do recommend this dvd, it's cheap and helpful.

The lip sync is out on this DVD. With saying that its easier to watch this DVD than to wade through the manual.

Good video but wish it was a little more detailed and slower showing you how to work with your camera you do have to reveiw it over and over and you can go back to review it again later and learn something new. So over all I would say it help you start to understand your camera a lot better.

I found this dvd so difficult to watch that I ended up returning it. My dvd looked as if a video camera was set up on a tripod with the background in focus. The guy delivering the information was out of focus. I stopped watching after 30 minutes because my eyes couldn't take it anymore.

This is a must have book for a new DSLR user. If you are new to the Digital SLR arena it will help understand the differences and provide easy to understand tips for creating excellent photos.

Excellent resource! Took me from nowhere to knowing all the basics about this camera (and photography in general). I recommend pausing after each chapter and practicing what was said to get the most out of this dvd. It is packed with lots of information in a fairly short amount of time.
