4.0 out of 5 stars
dated, but otherwise a fine supplement to the manual,
By
This review is from: Magic Lantern Guides: Nikon N70 (Paperback)
Approximately a third of this book is generic photography stuff, a third is specific to the Nikon N70/F70, and a third is related to accessories.The coverage is competent and you'll learn a lot more about your camera's specifics by reading the book. (The manual isn't *that* bad.) However, it's not a complete book. For example, while they generally describe the memory function, they really don't tell you when (or if) you'd want to use it. They also supplement it with "generalized" material showing you how f-stops work and the effects of auto-bracketing. The accessory section is pretty dated, however. For example, the most recent flash mentioned is the (now discontinued) SB26. The advice is sound, however. For example, they encourage most people looking for a "primary" lens (usually 50mm) to opt for the 1.8 rather than the 1.4 because the 1.4 is priced about three times as much for a difference 99% of the purchasers won't use. A possible improvement would be to single out useful non-Nikon lenses and equipment. For example, Tamron has a fine 28-105mmf2.8 lens that would be a great starter for someone who wanted zoom functionality -- it's not really a Nikon item.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Better than the manual,
By Peter Kusenko (Crystal Lake, Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Magic Lantern Guides: Nikon N70 (Paperback)
I have had some experience with 35mm cameras and I still found the operational manual to be not quite complete. The manual tells you what you have available to use on the camera but doesn't go into much detail in using all of the functions. I appreciate that Magic Lantern Guide for the N-70 uses a text that is relatively easy to understand. I had e-mailed nikon to see if there was any additional manuals to use after I had purchased the camera and got no response. My daughter said that she saw the Magic Lantern Guide and told me about it and I'm glad that she did. Too bad that nikon doesn't know about this book, I highly recommend it for the beginner or intermediate photographer who is investing in this terrific camera.

Must have book for the F70/N70 owner,

This review is from: Magic Lantern Guides: Nikon N70 (Paperback)
I'm new to photography. When I bought my F70, the information in the instruction manual did help me to use the camera but didn't help me much with the details to take great pictures. I learnt a lot about my camera after i read through this book. It's too good.
