Very useful - I like that it's spiral bound,

This review is from: A Short Course in Nikon Coolpix 4500 Photography Book/eBook (Spiral-bound)
Dennis has basically taken the 4500 manual and laid it out in a manner which "flows" from function to function with explanations of the why accompanying the how, and gives examples, which of course the manual does not. Since I'm an amateur photographer, I give this book 4 stars for getting me up to speed that much more quickly. I like that it's spiral bound so that its large 8.5" x 11" pages lay flat so you can operate the Coolpix while you read about the functions and take test shots as you go. Thanks to Dennis I'm now ready for Peter iNova's e-Book.

This book got me using my camera,

This review is from: A Short Course in Nikon Coolpix 4500 Photography Book/eBook (Spiral-bound)
Without this book, my 2-year-old Nikon 4500 still would be in the box, barely used. I just didn't find Nikon's instructions very helpful. I bought this book as a last-ditch effort to learn my camera and brought it with me on a vacation to the Grand Canyon. I finally learned how to use many (not all!) of the functions of my camera and even took an outstanding panorama shot. I like the way everything is explained in an easy-to-understand way. I'd been regretting the purchase of my digital, but now I'm happy. I've been shooting SLR for 25+ years and wanted to try out digital so bought this overly complex camera. I wanted to have a back-up digital camera to grab when I don't want to bother with my SLRs and lenses, but wanted a better photo than my pocket camera could deliver and I think I now have that. If you are in a similar boat, I recommend you buy this book. It's especially good if you're not one of those people who can instantly use a computer device but like to understand the functions first, then use the item.

A pleasant surprise,

This review is from: A Short Course in Nikon Coolpix 4500 Photography Book/eBook (Spiral-bound)
Reading manuals often rise new questions. How does this function actually work? As owner of many cameraes and manuals for these cameras, I am glad to discover eager folks getting behind all the functions with such great skill. Nikon Coolpix 4500 manual are of the better kind, but still a manual.This book got me behind all unique functions of the Nikon Coolpix 4500 and made me see all the posibilities of the well made camera. The combination book & CD works just fine. The book in B&W and CD in color first seemed odd, but after all make sens. The moment the book get worn out, just print out a new one! (remeber the copyright!). Bying this book was my first bye from Amozon.com. It worked just great and I got the book by mail according to the the promised price and date! Just great. I recomend this book for those wanting to realy getting most out of the Excelent Nikon Coolpix 4500.
