4.0 out of 5 stars For all first time Nikon DSLR users, February 20, 2008

By	N. Saadeddine "Nanoo" (Dubai, UAE) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I got this DVD with my purchase of the Nikon D40 which this DVD came free as a bundle with it.

Yes, this was my first time I hold in my hands a DSLR camera! and by playing this DVD; I, for the first time found out the difference between the P-S-A-M options and why do we need external flash, and types of Lenses and situations and good tips for night pictures. and he defines all the technical photography terms such as Exposure, ISO, Depth-of-Field etc.

in simple words. this DVD will tell you exactly what are the manual functions are for your Nikon DSLR camera. The DVD covers Nikon range D40 to D80

Because I got my new Nikon D40 camera and so excited to take photos, I really dont have the time to read the full manual or read a book about photography just simply to get started. instead, this is a one hour very interesting DVD to inform a "FIRST TIME DSLR USER" about the potentials he can do with his new DSLR camera.

I give it 4 stars because it covers all the basics (which a beginner need) but this DVD left me thirsty for more information which I ended up buying this great book Nikon D40/D40x Digital Field Guide.

I am happy I got this DVD first time I bought my Camera

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice concept - Weak execution, November 6, 2007

By	Gadget geek (Chester County, PA, USA) - See all my reviews

The content of this video is just too basic to be worth the price. It's a shame because the on camera talent is Bob Krist who is clearly knowledgeable and I'm sure could offer a lot. But whoever produced this scaled it down so much as to not be useful. Skip it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very basic, January 24, 2009

By	F. Knoph (Norway) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This dvd shows the basics of photography, and how to use your Nikon camera. If you have been shooting for some time, don't buy it. You will just be bored (as I was). However, if you have just bought a Nikon DSLR, and you want to get some tips on how to use it, this dvd might be helpful. I don't think it goes into enough details, but it's a good starting point.
