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.

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.

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.

This guide offers a step by step approach to learning everything about the camera as well as specific techniques to obtain great photos. After taking a course with Corey Hilz, it was apparent to me that he knows what he is talking about so I was excited to purchase this guide as soon as I upgraded to the D90. If you want a real lesson in operation of a camera, this is the guide for you.

I am new to Nikon. I bought the D90 and with the myriad of settings possible you really need this book to get you "dangerous" in a reasonable time frame.

The manual that comes with the D90 is very detailed but the flow is not user friendly if you need to get an overview of what it does and how it works. This books does this in spades. Buy it.

I have never cared for manufacture warranties and when I found this book on Amazon I was thrilled! It is very easy to understand, the examples are right on and there isn't any of that unneeded extra information. I enjoyed reading it and taking it to my photography class as the replacement for the manual.

great introduction to the camera, aimed at beginners tho, but has a lot of extra tips and explanations... a must buy if your just getting started!

It was very helpful. I am a beginner and it certainly cleared up many issues. I am enjoying it as well. I love the samples! I recommend it to all novices like myself. Great for refering to. It will stay in my library.It is a must have!
