4.0 out of 5 stars great material to kickstart pulling trigger on D90, March 29, 2009
This review is from: Nikon D90: Focal Digital Camera Guides (Paperback)
This book has good material on important camera functions aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance along with pictures which i find unique.
Additional material on lighting the subject is awesome.
I feel some lens baby stuff in lenses section would add more value.
Cons:
Not much information on what is possible with D90 which is not found in other cameras(D80 / D70).
Some material on different photography (garden / landscape / macro / sports photography) along with camera settings and accessories add more value to the book

I would strongly recommed this book for anyone (ameteur / mid level) who wants to explore D90.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who needs the Nikon Manual, May 11, 2009
This review is from: Nikon D90: Focal Digital Camera Guides (Paperback)
I received Corey Hilz' book after owning my D90 5 days. I would read the Nikon manual in the evenings and it would put me to sleep for the night. I really had a hard time getting through it. Mr. Hilz book has all the same technical information in an easy read style. It was a very good help. I had one issue when it came to bracketing exposures. The book told me all about what was happening but not the steps to take. Well, I guess I was to anxious. If I had read further in the book, it was all laid out. I just couldn't wait to get out there and start collecting images. In all, I was very satisfied with the results. The book will continue to be a good reference, as I need to use some functions over time to solidify it in my memory. This is recommended.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Nikon D90: Focal Digital Camera Guides (Paperback)
I really appreciated this book as an excellant compliment to another guide to the D90 I purchased. What set this one apart & what I found most useful and helpfull were the many high quality informative step by step photos showing the readouts for the various functions as seen on the LCD.
