3.0 out of 5 stars An Extra Manual, February 23, 2008
This review is from: Magic Lantern Guides: Nikon D40 (Paperback)
I purchased this book along with the d40x Field Guide, and have to say the Field Guide is much better. This book offers little that the original manual doesn't already have.

Get this instead.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not very illuminating, March 8, 2009
This review is from: Magic Lantern Guides: Nikon D40 (Paperback)
Sorry to be the skunk at the garden party, but this book did nothing for me. The writing is stilted and abtuse and there's little in here that goes beyond the owner's manual, which is actually clearer and easier to understand. The author spends several pages on AF (autofocus) modes and settings and only confused me further. He uses terms like "moire" and "aliasing" without explaining. You have to go to the glossary in the back for elaboration.

Waste of money; just read the owner's manual or visit www.kenrockwell.com and get ken's easy-to-follow D40 guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars a complement to the manual, September 10, 2007
This review is from: Magic Lantern Guides: Nikon D40 (Paperback)
This book is a terrific guide to help understand all the functions of the D 40, and I realized that it gave me significant insight concerning not only what functions were on the D 40, but what settings and features should be changed from defaults.Very useful.Thanks to the author and Magic Lantern Guides.
