3.0 out of 5 stars informative but not tutorial, January 7, 2009

I was expecting a full fledged tutorial, so I was somewhat disappointed. The DVD is informative and well made. I conceived it as a sales pitch for something I already owned. A great advertisement for the Nikon D90 with most of the camera's operational functions explained in a bit more detail than the accompanying user's manual.

VERY basic but goes through all the buttons of basic controls in an easy format to understand. Very helpful. Doesn't replace your manual but is informative enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Introduction to D90 and Photography, May 16, 2009

This review is from: Introduction to the Nikon D90 Volume 1 : Basic Controls (Amazon Instant Video)

I had an opportunity 1-year ago to watch the Blue Crane DVD about Nikon's D80 and that experience prompted me to lease the D90 introduction. For $1.99 it was worth the review of features and photo tips as well as learn about the new features of the D90. The Blue Crane videos about Nikon cameras are clear and concise. All details are understandable and the host also provides a very good description of solid photography techniques. I am only disappointed that I can only lease the first video from Amazon on Demand, as Blue Crane also offers an advanced DVD for the D90 that goes into greater detail of the features not covered in DVD 1.
