This book covers all the functions of each camera, 60 pages for N6006 and N6000, 40 pages for N8008s, and the rest is for all the cameras. This is not a ''how to take good pictures'' book. This is more like a manual with limited examples. If you own one of the cameras and feel like the manual is not good enough, this is the one that you want to keep with.

I had lost the manual to my 6006, but found this in my camera back and started reading. It covered the operation of the 6006 very well and provided some very basic tips on using the functionality the camera offers. I found that it was worth reading the sections on other cameras just to pick up additional photography tips.

The book also provides a nicely detail look at the various accessories for your Nikon. It covers flashes and the various additional lenses that are available. I found the section on lenses particularly useful because it talks about when each type of lens is used and discusses the pros and cons of the different lens types.

All in all, a great accessory for your Nikon.

Since I didn't have an owners manual for my 8008, this book has been a great resource. It explains all camera functions with a small section on flash photography, but doesn't really have a lot more than that.

The Magic Latern Guide Was in Excellent shape and the Transaction was Excellent, exactly what is Expected When Purchase is Coordinated Through Amazon.

Having recently aquired a Nikon F801/N8008, I bought this book to assist me with both operating the camera and finding accesories for it. The book certainly delivers for the most part, but the lack of an index proves frustrating, especially when you're trying to find information on specific accessories. Furthermore, next to no information is provided on the MF 21 multi-function back, which is an item that most serious users of the F801/N8008 will want to get their hands on. All in all, it's useful to have in your camera bag, but I can't help but feel that the author could have stretched himself a bit further to make this pocket book more complete and easier to refer to.

I bought this book because I lost my owner's manual before I had a chance to learn some of the advanced functions. The author's style is so wordy and obtuse that it might as well have been written in Greek.
