From the Publisher

In over 15 years of publishing experience we have never received such overwhelming response as we have on this exciting new electronic book. None of my words can express the excitement Mastering Nikon Compact Digital Cameras has generated in the photography field. Therefore, let some of our happy customers sell you on buying this important new eBook.—William Dorich, Publisher, Graphics Management Press.

"I cannot recall a product that has been released to the digital photography market with such unanimous acclaim. While Nikon's instruction manual tells you how to set the settings, "Mastering Nikon™Compact Digital Cameras" tells you how to set the settings that achieve the image you're trying to capture. You've paid $1000 for your Coolpix 990. Pay $50 to learn how to get the best possible pictures out of it.—Mike Chambers, eGroup 990 forum moderator.

"Peter iNova is a photographic and literary genius! DPReview guaranteed as an excellent buy for anyone with a Nikon Coolpix digital camera. Peter's character really shines through, funny comments and dry wit mixed in with excruciatingly accurate detail, beautiful diagrams, excellent photographic and software examples."—Phil Askey, Editor/Reviewer.

"If the eBook were an automobile, it would be like getting a Rolls Royce for the price of a Ford Escort!"—Joe Juarez, photographer, Nikon owner.

"What a masterpiece, a lifetime of learning and enjoyment in a $50 CD. If you own any camera it's worth it, if you own this camera, don't miss it!!!"—Tim (via DPReview.com Nikon Forum)

5.0 out of 5 stars Doubles the value of my camera, August 17, 2002

I bought this CD-ROM eBook first for my Nikon CoolPix 990 camera, and discovered the vast possibilities of this "toy". Being a professional trade magazine writer for the graphic arts press and technique editor of a photo magazine, I feel quite at home with photography in its silver and digital forms, as well as digital imaging in general. To my surprise, Peter iNovas book transformed my CoolPix from a toy to a most useful tool for serious work. It helped me to extend the use of my CoolPix to areas I never dreamed of, and it has delayed the investment in more expensive equipment many times.

Plus, the eBook is frequently upgraded. Recently, I upgraded my eBook for the 2nd time to v4. Very handy when I also upgraded my CoolPix to the CP 5000.

Thanks M. iNova for writing us this wonderful books. No editors beleived in this project so M. iNova made an ebook instead of a real book. And it's great cause you can see real digital pictures and 300 Photoshop filters are included and many examples to work with. This is a must have for all Nikon Coolpix 990 owners. We're very lucky to have a book on digital photo specific on our camera. It's not just a user guide, it's a digital photo lesson for YOUR camera.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mastering Nikon Compact Digital Cameras, July 31, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Mastering Nikon Compact Digital Cameras (Version 5.0) (CD-ROM)

Using the techniques listed I was able to rediscover photography. I have read 1/3 of the "book" and learned new techniques or relearned old concepts long forgotten.

Why only 4 stars, this "book" should be a book w/cd supplemented by his website...In the preface he explains his reasons for using this format, but I think a traditional book (spiral-bound) would have been better.

This leads me back to the content, so far it has been excellent and I'm sure I will get [my money]out of it.
